    64 bit WEP keys

    There is no such thing as a 64-bit WEP Key, it is a 40-bit key with crap leading it. The only size keys are 40-bit and 104-bit. Manufactures add crap at the front of the key to make it 64/128-bit.

    Is WEP security good enough for a home wireless network?

    Most OS's support WEP and WPA. WEP is either 40-bit or 104-bit. The extra 24 bits that are advertised are just extra bits tacked on the end of the key. You can crack WEP using basic/semi-advanced brute force, basically guessing. WEP is a RC4 algorithm, a stream cipher. A stream cipher uses...

    mySQL: How big is BIG?

    I have seen and used MySQL databases with +2 Million rows, +5 Million Tables, over 750Gb total, with tables over 100Gb, and rows over 1Gb. I will run on your iMac, but depending on how fast your processor is, and how fast you need to do the accesses, that will be the limiting factors.

    Need new inkjet HP suggestions please

    I have an HP 6127. I still have HP printers from at least a 10 years ago. I will always stand by HP printers. The 6127 has an ethernet connection so I just hook up to my network, and OS X, Windows, and FreeBSD all print to it just fine. It has the duplex printing, which really saves paper.
