Like my poll of yesterday, I am gathering information for future technology blog topics and there are no right answers. I do, however, as a smart aleck have to say there are some answers that are intentionally funny rather than useful!

  • Question of

    I am trying to install a USB device on my computer and it fails. What should I do?

    • Look for the easy button.
    • Remove the USB device, install the drivers again and then plug the USB device into a new USB slot.
  • Question of

    USB 3.0 slots on your computer have blue plastic in them. Why?

    • Blue carries information faster than the old white platic plugs.

  • Question of

    • The speed of light is only a guideline not a hard and fast rule.
    • Long cables have more data storage capacity.
    • I want a longer cable.
    • In fact, the application of the speed of light with network cables sadly means longer cables do not hold more, move more or increase overall network capacity.
  • Question of

    • Shutting down the computer via the task bar allows the system to close files and protect your computer.

    • I would say Cat6 would be a better option if you are hardwiring your home network. I would however wonder how you increase security with wire? I know professionals that can hack a wired implementation just as quickly as they can a Wifi network.

      • Wireless networks are inherently insecure, broadcasting packets as far as their signal will carry. Anyone in range can sniff those packets… To do that on a wired network, you have to physically inject yourself into the stream. It isn’t all that hard but most folks are too lazy to do so
