Laptop theft solutions
 

are there any ways to prevent your laptop from getting stolen? like an alarm or something if its taken away from you. Or some software that can totally corrupt the whole computer if its stolen

carry a gun on you.

wire some gps shit into it so you can track the mofos whenever they turn it on

that would be cool

I am receiving this one next week.. .

2 gig of Ram !

I think I should also lock it down when I leave....

are there any harddrive lock passwords? that make the harddrive useless without the correct password?

Software to corrupt the system only makes it so your software can't be used. The OS could always be reinstalled. I wouldn't want anything that would actually destroy the computer.... what if it accidently went off while it was still in your possession.

The best solution... always keep good backups and insure the damn thing.

My dick just got hard , thats ACER right?

ferrari laptop? i have never heard of that before. What brand is it

yeah but what if you have person info on the computer like passwords and shit. I wouldnt care if they re-installed everything again, as long as they can't retreive my personal data

FAST FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK:

Is there any way I can get around the password I put on my laptop? Somehow I locked myself out of it.

Sure: Clear Cmos ...

They sell proximity alarms at CompUSA that do precisely that. One part fits onto/into your notebook, the other part fits on your keychain. If the two are seperated by more than 15 feet or something like that, the alarm goes off. Not sure if the alarm sounds from the keychain piece or the notebook piece though.

yeah. i have a tablet pc and i was at starbucks with my ipod. freaked me out

even if that happens, u can always get a new harddrive or format.

If that makes your dick hard...this should send you over the top..

offices around here now have laptops wired to a desk with a lock and alarm goes off if pulled, just like the stores, best place to steal laptops is get a bullshit job doing data entry for a day and leave, just provide bullshit info. and no i didnt do this, just heard of many.

ACER

That's what i'm thinking... like those in cars :thumbsup

Glad you asked, there are a number of ways to minimize the chances of your laptop being stolen.

One of the best ways is to not put it in a laptop bag, those Targus bags SCREAM I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE LAPTOP IN HERE, PLEASE STEAL ME FOR CRACK MONEY!!!

Buy a laptop sleeve, its basically the same protection, and you can carry it in your backpack, briefcase, messenger bag, whatever.

Get a damn good lock, you want something that the hotel maid, or the crackhead that wants quick cash is going to take one look at and find an eaiser mark.

With that locked up to the frame of the bed, or around your hotel toilet, the only people that will still want your computer are either very dumb or are very dedicated in trying to steal the information onboard it.

Which leads us to the next layer of security, make your laptop worthless to anyone that was stealing it just for the information.

PGP Personal Desktop

PGP Mail ? Encrypts email, files, and instant messages and also provides the ability to manage PGP keys.

PGP Disk ?Transparently creates volumes whose contents are encrypted when not in use.

I have a laptop with a PGP formatted hard-drive, after a certain amount of time that its open and I am not doing anything, the drive will unmount and encrypt itself.

If my computer is stolen, they will have a laptop with plenty of porn to jerk off to, but I can sleep at night knowing all my organization's intellectual property (business plans, powerpoint presentations, and reports) are secure to just about anyone short of the NSA, GCHQ, DSD, and CSE. :1orglaugh

If I had a better grasp of what operating system you are running, I could make things a little more secure. Also if you find yourself flying alot, slap some stickers on the top of your computer, or run to Fastsigns and have them make a sticker of your URL, one laptop looks like every other one at the TSA checkpoints, I know this and the laptop thieves know this. (Yes it still goes on with all the security) its a little hard to run off with a laptop that has...

across the top of it, sure it might get a few stares, but you might find a few new signups while waiting around at the Admiral's Club. :1orglaugh

If you have any other questions, hit me up in ICQ, I've camouflaged a number of laptops for a number or organizations over the years. :thumbsup

that was really beautiful! i also want to have one! how lucky you are!:)

this laptop will self destruct in 54321 boppppm

just dont leave it around anywhere that it might get stolen.
