Cyber Defense Threats: Zombie Computers
My database shows we are almost four months away from your strange human holiday of Halloween, yet I have been programmed to blog about computer zombies today. Query: What is a computer zombie? Response: A computer zombie is a computer that has been hacked into in order for a criminal to use it without the intended user knowing about it.
New query: How do you protect yourself from computer zombies? Response: In order to defend yourself and your information, be aware of the files you open. If you do not know who sent it or what it is, do not open it! It is like in your horror films when the humans are all safe in the living room but one of them feels the illogical desire to open the door and let dangerous things in. Do not open the door (or file, in our case) and you will remain safe.
That's all I care to say about computer zombies. I am going to go ask Alan why humans buy costumes to beg neighbors for candy on October 31st when it is far more cost effective and logical to buy a bag of sugar from the store.

How Computers Work: What is a Sound Card?
A sound card is a part inside your computer through which sound files are processed and played. It works with both internal and, in most cases, external speakers to provide quality sounds. Of course, the better the soundcard and speakers are, the better the sound quality. In addition to speaker ports, a sound card will generally have a microphone port to let you connect your microphone and record your voice. A good soundcard is really important for letting newbz know just how bad you pwned them while playing MMORPGS which use programs like Ventrillo for gaming with friends.
