I'm sure if the evil privacy-invaders that have formed a conspiracy desired for you to not view this web page, they would simply block it, rather than rig some over-complicated response such as kicking you from the network, only to allow you to re-connect simply by toggling your phone's network card off/on :P

As much as this irritates me, it's kind of funny the uproar people are making when if the government so desired, they could pull your SMS/MMS/Call/3G logs. It's not as if those things go directly to their recipient :P So in theory, regardless of how "clean" your phone is, anything you send to another phone, be it a…

Perhaps downloading games/movies is breaking the law in you country, but the big question is the morality of it. I download games to try them, as fully-functional demos (i.e Age of Empires' demo was great, it came with a single, but fully functional and diverse mission) seem to be a thing of the past. If it's a good…

BTGuard is a waste of money. First of all, you won't get great speeds, as they cap their upload/download rates. Second of all, they're located in Canada (where I live coincidentally), which is just as strict as the US in regards to copyright infringement. That, compounded by the fact Canada and US law enforcement and…

Sandbox-based OSes/applications are vulnerable to bugs, just like any application. It's extremely difficult to remove 100% of bugs from something as complicated as the way an OS managed memory. When something slips through, then you have the possibility that the bug could cause memory from one application to overflow…

Congratulations! You have empirical evidence collected from a total of 1 person(s). Now try increasing the sample size to around 20 (preferably more), then come back with your empirical evidence.

They're saving not only on space, but also on technology, which most remote-job "candidates" (as in jobs that can be done remotely. Good luck finding a manager position that can be done remotely, for example.) focus on. Assuming you have a computer, the company no longer needs to provide you with one and maintain it,…

A key thing for food safety that few people seem to think about is that you should not thaw frozen meat by leaving it out on a counter for hours. Thaw it using a microwave, or by running it under tepid water (while wrapped in plastic wrap or something similar). By leaving meat out to thaw, you're providing an…

www.howsecureismypassword.net is useful in a very basic respect, but it fails to take into account that password strength is not only determined by the actual code, but the strength of the cipher as well. Even incredibly random alpha-numeric-symbol passwords can be easily broken if the algorithm used to encode them is…

Yay, another "Increase Your iPhone's Battery Life" article, with identical content to all of the other 400 000 clones (buy an external battery, don't use 3G, etc).

Actually, most people with European (most caucasians), Indian, or West Asian ancestry can digest milk. Lactose intolerance as a common affliction is only really prevalent in most of Africa and some parts of Eastern Asia.

First off, genetically modified foods are not nessesarily dangerous, in fact, they may in some cases be better than their "natural" alternatives. Secondly, soy is not a "hormone disruptor", neither is it a so-called "estrogen modifier". The only possible health risk is that of excessive consumption by women with a…

Good luck convincing people the things on the "Doesn't Work" list won't help. I've tried several times to convince my mother that there is absolutely no point to spending money on Vitamin C/Zinc/etc supplements since:

I utilize the glass and paper method of killing the fly; I trap it, slide a paper under the glass to seal the opening, escort said fly to the door, and release him into the "wild" so that he can be consumed by a predator or for a few lucky flies, die of natural causes.

Salt's only a weak anti-bacterial substance, it's virtually ineffective unless at ridiculously high levels, at which point commercial cleaners would still be more effective.

Calibre is really useful, but it takes incredibly large amounts of time to convert between formats, regardless of PC specs. Pity those who attempt to convert books with images in them D:

I disagree, Celine Dion is definitely the better singer.

I see what you did thar

Rogers is a great ISP in terms of speed and reliability (wayyy better than Bell), but not only do they throttle Bittorrent day AND night, they block seeding (force encryption gets around that, but for some reason few people enable the encryption setting in their torrent client). Yes, they completely block seeding. Day…
