theoretically, but the computer parts and tub are covered with minerals, dust, and dirt.

something i have done recently is try to connect my frinds sisters laptop to their new wifi network, nothing was working, so i ended up ringing the BT broadband hepline, was aon there for about half an hour telling me to change all the channels, then eventually the person on the phone saidshe would have to go to see if there were ny other things that could be causing the problem, in the mean time i saw this button on the laptop that looked like it had the wifi logo, i pressed it an voila, wireless network was detected, when she came back i felt too embarrased to say i never turned it on, so said it just worked, and she sounded kind of puzzled

Also at school we were designing websites, and basically no one knew what they were doing, so they took advice form our teacher (bad bad mistake) he forced them to use frames, and here is the reason:
Frames are the proper method of designing websites, all major websites use them, they are the best way to do it and make the website look a lot better
i just said nothing to him and left him with a 30-person long queue of people who were stuck when they deleted some pages from the frameset :D

In college people would leave their computers wide open for sharing on the dorms network. Luckily I had enough common sense at that time to avoid disaster. My computer was junk anyways, so I guess it really wouldn't have mattered. Havoc was caused....

hehe, i've managed to get into my school's webserver, it is on the network and totally unprotected, you just double click on it, then htdocs and, voila, you're in, with full read/write permissions, but for now i just took the password from the mysql database :p

i suppose the noobish thing i did was do that when the teacher was standing right behind me though, he didn't have a clue what i was doing though

Lee :D
