Where can I find a computer like this?

I don't think such a thing exists any more -- all modern laptops have some flash ROM or battery-backed RAM to store their boot configuration. (The BIOS itself is also nearly always flash ROM these days.)

The above sounds obvious naive.

GO AWAY.

BIOS

Why don't they use mask-programmed ROM for the ROM and Twin-Transistor RAM for the RAM?

That would make the PC more secure?

Why?

The allure of being able to update the BIOS to fix bugs and add new features (including adding support for new CPUs -- when Intel or AMD release a new CPU, even if at the mechanical and electrical level they're 100% compatible wth a given motherboard, they need a "microcode update" sent from the BIOS that patches around any hardware problems within the CPU itself and configures some bits of it) is just too much.

Plus I suspect that these days masked ROMs might actually cost more, given how important time-to-market is with motherboards and the relatively low volumes. (I.e., a manufacturer can use the same flash ROM on many different motherboards, but each masked ROM is likely specific to each motherboard model.)

Marginally so I suppose.

Because in order to communicate your WiFi card has to be transmitting a unique means of identifying itself anyway, so whether or not you transmit a 'nickname' his little to do with how secure the connection is or isn't.

How the f*ck would you know?

Dumbfucktard remarks like "obviously bad".

cos it costs too much and can't be modified, like everyone on this planet wants to do.... who cares how the ram is made ???

cos it does and you obviously have no idea.... :(

Look for a computer with some of these devices:

Did you have to look that up to get the entire name?

What IS the technical name of your condition, Green Xenon?

I asked nicely.

No problem.

But it would also piss off my enemy and thus decrease my anger.

If I could control my mind, I would. Problem is, I can't. I'm getting therapy but still trying to change my thoughts/personality is like trying to run through a brick wall.

That would, however, actually work.

Working in a university would probably suit you.

Wear shorts in winter if you want ;->

If what you're talking about is really not criminal then why are you after security that puts you beyond a court subpoena?

Or have defined your own idea of what is or isn't criminal?

I just want to be as secure as possible while writing in chat rooms. I don't want someone with hacking skills to track me down and mark me for lynching.

Your assessments are as pathetic as you are, idiot. Your unqualified, unsolicited, unprofessional, incredulous assessments are just that, you stupid, stinking, sub-human, UNAmerican BASTARD!

You are one sad fucktard to tell some other poster some lame lie about me, then come in here, acting like you are extending a hand of assistance.

Yeah... it is ASS IS Stance already. Expect that you do not need a stance for the world to know that you are an ass. And no, I do not need your pathetic version of "help".

I wish the fish in the Red Sea here would take the bait like the bad- mouth jaws in this pool...

Pheww!!!

You mean like some of these idiots are threatening to do to others?

Yeah, the retards out there in netville talk a real good one.

This E-GREEGious dipshit is one prime example.
