Is it more secure to turn off the DHCP server in router?

I read that it is more securer to turn off the DHCP server in the router?
Is this true?

If you google the question you'll find articles claiming that disabling autmatic DHCP makes a router more secure. For example: http://netsecurity.about.com/od/quicktip1/qt/qtwifistaticip.htm
On the other hand, there are articles debunking this (and other ideas) as myths:

How can I turn off the ability, to turn off the phone, from the lock screen for more security?

There is no such option.
There will be some additional features included with iOS 7.

Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
Now we need to develop our own security module.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

hi,
1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
calls.
2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
api/ur api..
thanks

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file

I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

Assuming you mean that you performed the repair yourself, it would seem that you either obtained a defective screen or you did some sort of damage when you replaced the screen. You can try asking for assistance on ifixit.com, a site dedicate to those attempting their own repairs, or you can take the iPad to a shop and pay them to try to correct the problem for you. Apple will no longer touch your iPad now that you've attempted your own repairs.
Regards.

How can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?

how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?
Edit: I see you found the solution the Software board in this thread: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&thread.id=13064

HP Pavilion laptop only connect to the internet when security is turned off

My HP Pavilion laptop running windows vista sp2 connects to the internet only when wireless security is turned off on my airport extreme (brand new purchased last week). Once I set-up wireless security my laptop shows local network access only and I lose my internet connection. Also, when I try to get back into the setup utility I get the following error message “an error occurred while trying to access the apple wireless device” and I cannot make any changes to my airport extreme set-up. I have tried many restarts and resets, but have only been able to connect properly with my laptop when wireless security is off. Additionally, during my setup attempts, my iphone has always had internet access. Greatly appreciate if anyone can offer ideas on how to fix this.

Have you tried resetting the modem and restarting your computer?

Enhancement: Ability to turn off the "Show More"

I like the idea of the "Show More" when there are lots of tables/views/packages/etc., but the way it defaults to showing the first stuff alphabetically means that all the tables I want are almost always under the "Show More" link. Is there any way to turn off the "Show More" idea or for it to remember what setting I had for that schema/object from last time I had opened Raptor?

To me, that is more of an issue that Raptor replaces the page opened for the object with the next object opened (if you don't pin the first page - is there a preference to auto-pin, because I haven't seen one?). If you have hundreds of tables of the same time, showing all of them does not make it easier to find them in the Connection pane.
To get three or four tables with different names available to look at, it is easy to filter for the first, open it, pin it, filter for the second, open it, pin it, etc. You then have the tables you want to look at as tabs in the right hand side of Raptor.
Yes, this is a pain if you always have the same three or four tables open, as only the last filter is remembered, so it would be nicer to have ORs in the filters (ie table name like CUSTOMER% or ORDER%).

Uninstall the whole worthless "WebSense" product.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
