Today's BIOS now allows a password protection option. If implemented,
this will prevent anyone from re-installing or even using your computer.
However, I am sure most know how to bypass this by draining your CMOS
battery. Of course, you could supposedly install a little GPS in your
laptop and if the BIOS login fails xx times it will send a signal to
give its location. Or something like that.
But a more effective way is to give our police more equitable pay, as
well as more budget for ice education/rehabilitation. Of course, using
our prescious police resources to SWAT a 76-old lady who unknowingly
uses a $10 counterfeit bill does not help the situation.

This makes me wonder, and perhaps some of you have an answer, what is
the best way to get your laptop back if it is stolen? I suppose that
if one can boot off of a cd and re-install, all bets are off. Does
anyone out there have a strategy or a technology in place to prevent
this?
