Hassle free filesharing with Ares P2P software
2007-10-29 19:31:00 P2P Filesharing - the concept is over 10 years old now. P2P is called peer to peer; meaning a network of computers and users sharing anything and everything on their computer with anyone and everyone. Great concept, terrible business model which ended up becoming one of the largest legal battles of the time, with the rock band metallica winning and shutting down Napster.Essentially, a peer to peer network puts control and management on the user community. Napster and other similar file sharing applications are either subscription based, or are controlled by a centralized network, which monitor user activity, collect statistics, learn user habits and often offer advertisements, or sponsored downloads. The true spirit of peer to peer networking is to share and share alike. No prying eyes, and no limitations. Truly free downloads are hard to find, however they do exist. First and foremost is Ares P2P softwareThe primary difference with Ares, is a decentralized network, managed coll... More About: Software , Free , Shari , Hass , Hari

Wireless Networking 101
2007-09-27 15:46:00 As technology evolves computer networking is not to be left behind. Now more than ever, connectivity is essential. A computer network used to be considered a business necessity, and was not very common in the household. The primary factor limiting home networking is of course the cost, followed by logistics in wiring and installation. For those that have older buildings and homes, installing network cabling (category 5, or CAT5) cable may be a difficult endeavor. As telephone and cable television lines are run inside the walls when the dwelling was built, adding wiring to an existing structure often requires extensive drilling, wire fishing, drywall cutting and repairing. This is not an easy job. There is great potential to cause serious damage and harm to your self and your home. Consider the risks when drilling a hole blindly inside a wall where there may be water, or electrical lines. The solution is quite simple, and so is the technology behind a wireless (WiFi) network. ... More About: Wireless , Networking , Workin

It can be overwhelming, and downright impossible to manage them all. What’s worse, most of your passwords are masked – that is the browser turns them into little stars and asterisks. How do you remember them, and what do you do when your password management stops doing its job? You can easily tell when this happens. It’s when you cannot login to your favorite sites.
