Only the female mosquito bites. Male mosquitoes feed primarily on flower nectar, whereas female mosquitoes require a blood meal to provide protein for...

There is a free service on the Internet that I usually use to briefly check whether there is any port leaks. This service is quite useful for me to quickly test my firewall settings. Anyway this is just a simple test and as you have already known that everything can happen in the Internet no matter how secure your protection is :-) Here is an excerpt from the site which is called Gibson Research Corporation (GRC) - ShiedsUP Service: If you are new to this site and our services: Please take...

I notice that recently it is slower to access YouSayToo (YST). And it frequently pops up a warning box telling that there is an error with the scripts whenever I switch to open other YST members' site (please see the picture below). I do not know whether the problem is with my browser or system settings or with the YST itself. I know there are many great changes and additions to YST now and maybe some of the changes still in progress and can cause a little bit problem. Can anyone tell me what...

How much money do you spend for ink refill of your personal printer? In my case, it is quite a lot because I use it for my daily work. My printer is Canon PIXMA iP1300. It has 2 catridges in it. One is black color catridge and the other is 3-color catridge. A new original one will cost me around Rp 180,000 for black and Rp 225,000 for color (around USD18 and USD 22.5). They will last for about 1 pack of 500-sheet of A4 papers for draft mode and usually less than 1 pack for standard mode. But...

Several weeks ago I installed 2 (two) automatic switch lamp holders for the two lamp fittings at the front of my house. They cost me around Rp 25,000 a piece and are made in china (again?). I cannot find the brand on its casing but I know it is quite a good product which I usually get from my local supplier. Why did I install this kind of stuff? Well, first of all, I like to try new interesting product which may benefit you especially concerning energy saving or the kinds :-) Furthermore,...

I got 2 units of solar lantern lamp from a friend to test.They are made in China. One of the lantern is modified so that it has a charging and low power indicator. I put a simple charge controller inside it and a brand new Panasonic 6V 4.5AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery. The other lantern is kept original. I want to compare which one has better performance. Both have been put into test since the beginning of June 2008 and are still working just fine. I charge them whole day from dawn till dusk...

I bet you have heard about electronic money or e-currency or digital money. There are many kinds of electronic money in this world. The ones that I address this time are those being used in cyber world. People usually use them as means of payment and income from many HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) "companies". Yes, electronic money or you may call it virtual money is very popular among the HYIPers. I suggest you had better stay away from these so-called "companies", avoid losing your...

After having a little problem with AVG 8 free edition, I thought it was a good chance for me to try a new free antivirus from ALWIL Software based in Prague, Czech Republic. As a matter of fact, I was very happy with AVG 8 until it displayed a warning box telling me that "avgscanx.exe" had a problem during full scan. The scanning itself was stopped or interrupted and not completed. I could not find why this happened whenever a full scan was executed. The brand new replacement was Avast...

Do you like mobile chatting and free calls? Actually there is no free in this world :-) At least you must pay for your GPRS connection. But the rate is much cheaper than ordinary call because it is a data connection which charges each kB of data you send or receive. In Indonesia, it cost you only Rp 1 / kB if using Indosat Mentari GPRS connection, very cheap indeed! I have not used their 3.5G yet because the connection is not good at my place and I think it will cost you more. Or you can...

I've been using YouSayToo (YST) for more than a month. I also have used some other sharing community sites and I notice that I like to use YST because of some strong points as described below: YST page loading is faster than the average of other similar communities. For instance, other sites sometimes have embedded videos which play themselves automatically everytime you load the pages. It bogs down your PC :-) YST is simpler to use and not complicated with neat and intuitive placement of tools and links. Simplicity counts! The user interface for creating a new post is very good even if you ...

I was trying to find file explorer for Nokia N70 with Symbian series 60 V2 - second ed. feature pack 3 (Symbian OS v8.1) , which would have similar functions to windows explorer in Windows XP. Although N70 came with its default File Manager, I found it less detailed and informative when exploring the files or directories within the phone. Therefore I searched for alternatives to the default and found two at that time, ie: FExplorer and Y-Browser.Here is an excerpt from Y-Browser download link above about the application: Y-Browser is a free file manager application designed for S60 3rd ...

Oil price goes high up in the sky :-( The bad impact is on the price of electricity. What is your move to tackle this if you want to decrease or at least to prevent the charges from rocketing. One way is to find an alternative energy source such as solar or wind energy. But for average people, we still use the electricity from state-owned company because alternative energy charges us higher cost of investment though in the long run the cost-benefit of it is much lower... If you are still...

I just found out there was other who met the same problem as I write in previous post. After some bad experiences, now I only install AVG 8 for the only anti virus and anti spyware in my notebook and one addtional protection ie: COMODO Firewall PRO 3.0 for replacing default windows firewall which is not recommended as told by other experts and geeks around the web. Actually AVG 8 is very easy to install, setup and maintain. But for COMODO you must be careful with its Defense+ because it is a little bit intrusive and chatty to protect your system processes and resources as well as files on your ...

Just for a few days ago, I have been wrestling with my notebook Lenovo 3000 Y400 Type 9454-25A. I suspected that there were some undetected viruses/worms inside it which were not cleaned or identified by AVG 8 though I still believed AVG product is still one of the best freeware anti virus/spyware. I think this is a good time to test some other freewares out there. See my previous post at yousaytoo or my other blog as well.Firstly, I picked HijackThis (a freeware) to reveal what is inside the box. After inspecting the log file, I deleted some items inside which I considered to be dangerous :-) ...
