Does dual bios always refer to a setup with a main Bios and a backup Bios (or are there also motherboards with 2 usable Bios)?
Is the backup Bios read-only (aka, can the backup Bios be updated like the main Bios)?
I plan to use my laptop (Linux Mint 14) with dorm internet (700 people in the dorm) and public Wifi.
How do I turn off things like sharing and network discovery on Linux Mint?
What other measures can I take to secure my laptop and make it more difficult to access?
Didn't they take down the firmware update?

Did you update to 503ABBF0?
Is there any way to set a file type as 'read-only' in Windows 8?
For example, I want to automatically set all .exe / .7z / .rar / .iso / .pdf files as read only because I would never want these files modified.
I see here

that Intel issued a fix for the USB 3.0 bug.
Does that mean we won't see any motherboards that have this bug when Haswell is released?
Alright thanks for the tips. Sharing is already turned off by default right? I don't think anything on my laptop is set to share but I don't see any options for it (other than advanced sharing settings).
Is it safe to use airport Wifi as long as I set the connection to "Public"?
I'll be moving to a dorm with over 700 residents. I suspect that a lot of these people have viruses on their computers, and I know that there are a lot of programmers in this building (and maybe some of them are hackers).
Everyone in this building is on the same network. The building has...
I have a 2.5TB external HDD from WD and a 3TB external from Seagate, and I just assumed that they were formatted in GPT since they come with a single partition (larger than the 2TB MBR limit). However, I checked in disk management today and these drives are actually MBR.
After using diskpart...
I have a bunch of identical empty DVD-R discs by Fujifilm. I have 3 DVD drives that show the free space as [4,706,074,624 bytes] and 1 drive that shows the free space as [4,707,319,808 bytes].
What gives?
I unplugged the power cable, removed the CMOS battery, pressed the power button a couple of times, and left it like that for 11 hours.
Again the only thing that reset was the date & time. I figured out that I can reset to default settings by pressing F9, but this is confusing me. Shouldn't...
I disconnected the power and removed the CMOS battery for 6 hours and all of my settings are still there, the only thing that reset was the date / time. There is no reset jumper or button on the motherboard (Intel DH55PJ).
Is it normal for BIOS settings to stay after removing the CMOS battery?
