I'm not an expert on this, but let me reply to a few things you've mentioned with my understanding of things:

Still using jailbroken 4.3.3 and it's not vulnerable to this. Hoorah!

While some of your points are valid as standlone statements, it's not really a great overall set of advice. Sure, in the specific case you focus, someone who irresponsibly attempts to manipulate his score and somehow doesn't save up money for a large down payment would be at a disadvantage. Moreover, I know someone…

I was confused by this as well. I think the author made a mistake, as when you check the link, the only cards with APR mentioned are cards for people with lmited or no credit. The prepaid cards are below that. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

It's Dachis, so you should know to check your brain at the door. Besides, the source author has no degree worthy of such commentary. From Psychology Today's own website: Melissa Kirk is a writer and editor who works as an acquisitions and developmental editor at New Harbinger Publications, a self-help psychology…

I use LogMeIn for this purpose and it works well for my needs.

I think you still need to use a sturdy object to crack it apart (as Whitson mentioned), but since I don't have the energy to test this out, I can't verify for sure.

I agree. This might be the best article on here in a while. I might need help leaving the kitchen.

Judging from most people's reactions in this thread, perhaps this should be listed under "Dark Side" instead of "Clever Uses."

The article has been edited since my comment was posted. The original state of it was inaccurate.

The study had nothing to do with the functionality of wireless devices. Read the source article.

Please rename the title of this article. You are 100% misrepresenting the source article and should be ashamed of yourself if you leave it as-is. Something such as breathing has absolutely no significant effect on wireless strength for the functionality of wireless devices. If you think it does, you do not understand…

Unless this effort was driven by or approved by Mark Russinovich, it's probably lacking significantly. Sometimes I can't help but to think that Mark is the only one who knows how to do things well over there, and he's likely still not getting the roles he should. Even after hiring him, they still don't put his work…

On the one hand, I see the supposed benefits of something like this. On the other hand, I see an enormous number of problems. Primarily, this assumes you have space to waste in your kitchen. If your cabinets are not full, this idea could work. However, if you already use your space efficiently, there is no way that…

No, the last line of the wikipedia entry explains: "The cabinets have an open bottom that allows for the water to drain directly into the sink below."

If your browser is storing the credit card information, then that likely is a major security concern. However, in most cases, the company/website from which you are making the purchase is the one keeping your credit card information on file. The latter is also what the article is discussing.

My friend would totally ruin this extension. He used to get annoyed with many of the people on facebook, so he decided to change his birthday to the current day. Everyone responded with birthday wishes. Just a few months later (maybe even one month later), he changed it again to the current day. Again, the same people…

That's a good question. Another good question is whether this behavior is even legal. Can anyone verify if action can be taken against you for this? Couldn't you use this to accrue points on your card that translate to cash back later?

Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of using a zip tie? I mean, it's a type of fastener designed so that it cannot loosen. There are many other types of fasteners that could be used if you did not need the functionality that these provide.

Not all pawn shops are "cons." In your example of a ring, there is good reason to not give out a loan for anywhere near its value. The value of an item pawned is not supposed to be very close to the amount loaned by the broker. The amount of the loan to you is meant to allow for the broker to be able to sell them item…
