Killing is bad. Even if you personally don’t think that murder is bad (you’d be a psycho then), then just remember that most sovereign countries outlaw it.

Believe it or not, any person can be creative in his or her own special way. Not everyone can be a master artist, or a writer but one can sure find ways in expressing one’s creativity. Hey, even telling jokes is an art form so why not try to be good at it.

There are different ways to approach your ways of studying. Different people have different ways to have effective study times. I had an acquaintance who would contort herself Yoga-style to be able to focus. And I thought blaring music was already a bit extreme for me.
Anyway, here’s a simple guide on how to make yours [...]

There’s no real formula on winning people’s hearts. But here are five tips to help you get started.
Smile. No one likes a moper. And don’t sport a fake one either.

Respect [...]

Since I’m in the topic of security in my previous post, I’m moving on to what I call insecure security. I know that we all should respect privacy and all. But the growing rate of web related mishaps have prompted us to be just a bit more paranoid about how secure our PC defenses [...]

This guy’s Paul Robinette. And he’s talking about self-unemployment. Not that I am suggesting for you guys to do the same.

Amazing. Guys would love this thing. No more coolers beside the sofa (or maybe you’re too lazy to even get one). Perfect. Another reason to be a beer-bellied couch potato. See? Even bums can still “streamline” their lives.
Watch the Beer Launching Fridge:
Drink moderately.
I’ve never been pepper sprayed and thank goodness I’ve never been. Some wannabe Jackass cast member friends of mine tried it out once and they swear they don’t want to be sprayed again. Must be some smartening experience, huh?
But if you’re unfortunate to be sprayed accidentally, here are first aid steps to pepper spray exposure [...]

No political correctness with this one. Everyone’s a crack head and you got to protect yourself!

It’s, most of the the time, best to take your mind off it just [...]

Everything seems to be negotiated nowadays. Even something as trivial as keeping control of the TV remote is negotiation. But negotiating for price can be a bit different. Here are some pointers on negotiation ranging from my experience from corporate deals to haggling in a flea market.
Intelligence quotient or IQ is a score from a series of tests that supposedly measures the intelligence and potential of the person. It’s calculated with the formula: 100 x (mental age/chronological age). For example, a 10 year-old child who scores as high as the average 12 year-old does has an IQ of 120.
