Get Your Revenge on Hackers and Scammers by Reporting Them

These days it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid stumbling across
dangerous sites and software. One of the biggest questions is what to do
after you've encountered such a situation. I suggest that you submit the
offending site to multiple services which blacklist dangerous sites. Your
submission may even lead to the site being taken off-line . This article
shows you how to do this easily. Now that is real revenge!

Save Energy By Switching Quickly Between PC Power Plans

Windows has a number of built-in power plans, and you can also create your
own customised plans too. A power plan is a way of saving electricity
consumption when you use your computer, and is relevant whether you use a
desktop or laptop. For example, you might have a plan that turns off the
screen after 10 minutes of inactivity, which is useful if you're in the habit
of walking away from your machine for long periods. The trouble with power
plans, though, or at least with the way that Windows implements them, is that
they are fiddly to configure and to switch. You could save a lot of energy if
you were willing to switch plans regularly so as to reflect what you were
using the computer for, but delving into the Control Panel each time means
that no one bothers to do so. To the rescue comes a handy utility called Easy
Power Plan Switcher. Once you've installed it, just click its icon on the
task bar and instantly switch between any of your defined power plans.

Think Twitter is Useless? This Free Website may Change Your Mind

OK I 'fess up; I used to think Twitter was a waste of time too. But over the
years I've now totally changed my opinion as I've discovered that you can use
it for a lot more things than low level vanity publishing. It is for example
superb for finding out about breaking news, is unexcelled as a means of
assessing the social zeitgeist and a lot more as well. If you need convincing
go to this website and enter a topic that interests you. You will then see
all the current tweets on that topic from the Twitterverse roll down your
screen. Many tweets are of course, of little value but there is enough good
content to make this a really valuable service. And no, you don't need a

Send Confidential Information Such As Passwords Securely

If there's one thing that the internet does well, it's allowing you to send
information from one person to another. However, if there's one thing that
the internet does not do well, it's allowing you to send that information
securely in a way that can't be intercepted or altered without your
knowledge. Which makes it very difficult to send, for example, private data
such as passwords. Email isn't suitable, because it's not encrypted by
default. Thankfully, there's a handful of web sites that are designed to help
you around the problem. Here's one that works very well and is free to use

I'd like to draw your attention to this really useful article as it not

that feature is not exactly intuitive which is why this short, practical
