			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us have a wireless network at home or office. Some of you have no idea how to secure your network or maybe you just can&#8217;t be bothered to do it. Nowadays even securing your network with WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) can be unsecure! It can be easily cracked. Watch this:</p>

If you want a powerful but cheap gaming computer you have to build one by yourself. First of all you&#8217;ll need a case:<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128045">Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower Case &#8211; With 500W PSU   £71.99</a></p>
<p>This case comes with 500W PSU and is very quiet. At rear it has one 120mm fan with 3-speed control to balance quiet with cooling and one front optional 120mm case fan. The case also comes with a built-in washable air filter to keep harmful dust out of your case.</p>
<p>Now I’m going to list all the components you are going to need and explain why I chose them:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129125">1) ASUS P5K AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775 ATX Motherboard   £70.97</a></p>
<p>This motherboard supports Dual-Core and Quad-Core processors with up to 1333Mhz FSB, has 7.1 channel HD surround sound, a built-in 1Gbit Ethernet port, 4x Serial ATA-300 connectors, 2x ATA-133 connector, one  external SATA (with RAID 0 / RAID 1 / JBOD) connector. All cables are included and it also supports PC2-6400 RAM. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139967">2) Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 Socket 775 (2.66GHz) FSB1333 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor   £110.97</a></p>
<p>If you are going to do video-editing and 3D-rendering – Core 2 Quad processor would be your best choice, BUT if you are not, then Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 is what you need. This processor can be easily overclocked up to 3.6Ghz.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124228">3) Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache   £63.61</a></p>
<p>This SATA hard drive has 16 MB cache, it’s very fast, very quiet and reliable &#8211; simply the best.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116755">4) OCZ 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC   £35.00</a></p>
<p>2GB of DDR2 800Mhz  RAM with 4-4-4 timings &#8211; best performance and stability. Heatspreaders allow increased ventilation and heat dissipation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134393">5) Inno3D 8800GT 512MB 256bit GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTVOut PCI-E Graphics card   £152.99</a></p>
<p>I have 8800GT video card in my PC and I can confirm that you can play any latest game on the highest resolution with this card, except Crysis (this game needs two cards in SLI mode to run this game with the highest settings). The<a href="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&#038;p=9"> tests </a>show that 8800GT card is only about 5% slower than 8800GTX.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129527">6) Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM / DL SATA Black Bare Drive &#8211; OEM   £18.50</a></p>
<p>Samsung SH-S203B is a very fast, reliable and cheap SATA drive and it comes with Nero 7 CD.</p>
<p>All prices are from <a href="http://www.ebuyer.com">eBuyer</a>. They offer a free and fast delivery with <a href="http://city-link.co.uk">City Link</a>.<br />
The total spend is only £524.03!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was having trouble embedding Youtube videos to my blog. The WordPress theme would just freak out if I tried to embed the video. Then after some research on Google I finally made it work. Here is what I did:</p>
<p>1) I had to untick &#8220;Use the visual editor when writing&#8221; in WordPress under Users>Your Profile. There is a video from Youtube showing how to do that:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NopuJ_OYjsk&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NopuJ_OYjsk&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></object></p>
<p>2) After the first step the video was working, but the WordPress theme was distorted. So after some further research I found <a href="http://www.jenst.se/2008/01/13/wp-youtube-2">WP-YouTube plugin</a> for embedding the Youtube videos to the blog. You just have to upload the plugin to Plugins section on your server and activate it in the WordPress theme.<br />
Now whenever you want to post a video to your blog just type something like:</p>
<p>[video]NopuJsesUy[/video]</p>
<p>Instead of &#8220;NopuJsesUy&#8221; just write your YouTube ID. That&#8217;s it!<br />
I hope this helps someone. Happy blogging!</p>

Laptop or PC? My personal choice would be PC.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s perfect for gamers, because it&#8217;s very easy to upgrade it (unlike laptops). Every year there are new, faster, better processors and video cards released and you could make your PC run faster just by upgrading memory (RAM), video card or a processor, instead of buying a new computer.</p>
<p>The only bad side about PCs is that they are heavy and you can&#8217;t take them anywhere you want. You can&#8217;t take it to your school, university, office or even a park. So, if you feel like you are stuck to your chair, buy yourself a laptop.</p>
