Cellphone unlocking might become illegal soon ?

I understand the part about circumventing for access to copyrighted maretial, however, the documents specifically mentions jailbraking and/or (rooting) is legal. The rooting is hacking or circumventing software. But the carrier lock in itself is not software related in general. Meaning if you...

Cellphone unlocking might become illegal soon ?

My only question is how is the DMCA at all related to locking a phone? Especially if rooting is still legal? I (kind of) read the entire document and did not find any reasonable connection between network and copyright. Unlocking a phone can in no way give you access to software you would...

Is there such a thing as disk indexing software?

Last night I indexed all my drives or about 4 TB of data with Whereisit. The scanning was much faster when I disabled the plug-ins. It took just about 30 minutes to scan everything in that configuration, 4-5 times faster than the default settings. Best of all, all the catalogs only use about...

Is there such a thing as disk indexing software?

Recently a 1 TB hard drive died on me which was not backed up. It was a storage drive and any important data on it was backed up so I don't care that much that it died. However, I am upset that I don't know what exactly was lost, so I don't know what I now need to re-backup or re-install or...

Stop Google redirects? Not a Virus.

Cool, I will look into it. One question, I like how I used to have auto complete on google store my previous searches before the whole instant thing. This does not work on DDG. Is there a way to enable it, the browser auto-complete which seems to be disabled by DDG and Google.

Stop Google redirects? Not a Virus.

I noticed that Google is now sending all its search results through its own redirect engine, which does not improve things, and in many cases has made Google useless for me. As an example, I search for "anandtech". the first result points to www.anandtech.com, but if I right click on the link...

HELP Windows 7 Rearranging desktop with monitor unplug?

Windows 7 has an issue or a "feature" where a DP or HDMI monitor is detected as removed when turned off. This leads to windows rearranging windows and icons on the entire desktop on the remaining monitor(s). Something nobody seems to have mentioned is what happens when you unplug a monitor in...

The issue with DisplayPort and HDMI devices in windows 7 is that turning a device off or even changing inputs on the monitor/tv can be detected as the cable being unplugged. I don't unplug a monitor to often, usually just to re-route the cable. I do turn them off. I think windows is stupid...

This is true, but sleep is still problematic as it disconnects from the network and it takes at least 10-15 seconds for it to go to sleep and wake up again which is an eternity. Shutdown Event Tracker remains my most effective options as it comes up instantly and a simple esc. removes it. I...
