Can you pick up data from a computer without its cover on? I read
a post from someone about windowed cases allowing all your data to
be radiated out, including say.... your banking info.
NO
Unless you have a very sophisticated sniffer.
Apparently some sniffers can be synchronised to radiated horizontal
flyback
pulses from an old CRT display, if it can also grab the RGB video
radiated
energy it can theoretically resolve what's being displayed.
There's no way to identify which emissions are R, G or B, so they'd only
get
a B&W image - if you're viewing bank details or top secret design
schematics, its possible it could be captured.
The logic level switching hash from an uncased PC can blot out band II FM
reception, but I seriously doubt any intelligence could be filtered from
that mess of basically RF noise.
Perhaps the setting in the BIOS to widen the frequency band could help to
stop people listening in? It's meant to be for stability I think.
And which BIOS settings would those be then?
"Spread spectrum". I've never noticed a difference turning it on or off..

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of a €ťgod gene€ś that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in
terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.
