The point is that since these bacteria are abundant all over the outer surface of your body, killing those in your armpits really won't do much for long. Bacteria can easily move in fluid and over solid surfaces, so it won't take long for the concentration of bacteria in your armpits to rise again.

Your logic is flawed; the problem you describe is not with Powerpoint/generic presentation tools, but with those who did the presentations you described.

The only time I feel using Prezi's is appropriate is when showing a photoalbum, or something similar. It really does look unprofessional for lesson-based presentations, as all the pointless glitter really does nothing to improve the conveyance (my "poor choice of word" sense is tingling) of knowledge. It's one thing…

Sanitizer hardly qualifies as being misleading (at least your average brand). They are intended to "sanitize" (to a certain degree) the surface of your hands, which they do fairly well. I doubt anyone's dumb enough to think they'll work if your hands are grimy, but usually one's hands are mostly just covered in a thin…

In Canada/most US states, you probably won't save a whole lot of money drying your clothes manually vs in a drier, or washing dishes manually vs a dishwasher, or BBQing vs an electric oven, etc, etc. Things like water or electric costs tend to be largely unaffected (in terms of substantial expense) by cutting things…

A lot of dishwashing soaps are not anti-bacterial and especially not anti-viral (it's extremely difficult to "kill" viruses), most are just soaps, designed to remove grease. If the water is not hot enough to scald you, chances are it's the perfect temperature for bacteria to thrive. For water temperature alone to kill…

You truly don't know the power of the dark side until you've seen Anonymous at work. Join them, and together you can rule the Internet as individual and group.

Keep in mind that TV's have much less pixel-density than computer monitors, as most people sit a good distance away from TVs, so manufacturers can make TVs cheaper without complaints of quality loss. TVs also tend to have a poor response time, contrast ratio, etc, since those are stats that the average TV consumer is…

I completely agree with you, I've always been irritated by English teacher's in high school, since they all seemed to think that English should remain exactly the same, despite the fact that their beloved language is the way it is because of centuries of evolution.

Lifehacker's fail at resizing GIFs is their fault, you still get an Internet for Great Lulz.

Using it in everyday conversation will make you look like a pretentious language-hipster, it's one of those words that's slowly becoming depreciated in the English language. The only place I really use it is in essays.

If you don't make either of the following mistakes, you can feel safe in knowing that most people (aside from Grammar Nazi's :) won't be sneering at your intelligence:

Logically, one would preserve periods in quotes, to indicate that the idea did not continue on in the original material you extracted the quote from. Commas, you can leave out, since whether you leave them out or not, the meaning is the same (a portion of a sentence/idea).

I hate to be "that guy", but wow, Lifehacker, you've outdone yourself this time. I can honestly say I've never seen a more obvious/useless article ever. The fact that practice (supposedly) makes perfect is something that's drilled into our heads from the moment we start school, I doubt anyone needs to hear it again.

I use Firefox. Yes, it's not very lightweight, but on any decent computer it should run fine. The main attractor for me is all of the web standards/semi-standards support it has (i.e APNG, HTML5, SVG, etc), security, and addons.

I think this ultimately depends on how you react to being drunk/sleep deprived (I've never really gotten seriously drunk, since I don't usually drink, so perhaps it's a matter of tolerance). I can say that being either of those two not only kills my "creativity", but I will NEVER get a single bit of work done, is said…

Oh god, Justin Long, the bane of my existence D:

The only effect cables could have on the sound quality beyond that brought about by the placebo effect, is poorly insulated cables introducing noise/pops into the sound. Gold plated, 99% oxygen free, etc, etc, simply cannot conceivably provide any kind of noticeable difference into the quality of the sound, and if you…
