100 reviewed places to watch free movies online

Here is a list of 100 places to watch movies and other video content online for free.

If you have some good ones to add, please leave the url and description in the comments.

Bypass WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) in style

WGA is a pain in the butt for many of us. Even if we have a legal copy of windows it just makes us do things we don’t want to. So here is a solution for all you WGA haters out there :

1. Download Orca (Mirror) (remember to disable your pop-up blocker when on that page) and install it.
2. Open WindowsDefender.msi with Orca
3. Go to the “CustomAction” table on the left
4. Right-click on the “CHECK_WGA” action and select “Drop Row”
5. Now got to “Dialog” table on the left
6. Look for the dialog “CheckWGA”, change the Attribute from 2 to 0
7. File > Save (DO NOT use Save As…)
8. Close Orca and run the installer.

The new Windows Defender is out, the way to bypass the WGA check (at least the one I found) is to open the MSI with Orca. Click Control Event on the left and go to CheckWGA. Make sure that the Argument column of the first and second CheckWGA Dialogs is “LicenseAgreement” and you can install and use Windows Defender without problems.

Firefox CAN be faster - 4 easy tricks

Now that we all know the hidden pages in Firefox, it’s time to go a bit deeper into tweaking your browser for optimal use. All of the operations will be made in the about:config page, so save your important stuff, open up a new tab, write about:config in the address bar and be prepared. I have gathered four tricks that will improve your Firefox experience, and here they are.

1. Fetch only pages that you click

2. Limit the RAM usage

3. Reducing the RAM usage even more when Firefox gets minimized

4. Make pages load faster

This is just about it, and if you guys have any other tricks for improving the Firefox experience, we’ll be glad to hear them.

How the world really shapes up

Rather than defining each country by size, these computer-generated modified maps - or cartograms - redraw the globe with each country's size proportionate to its strengths, or weaknesses, in a whole series of categories.

For instance, when it comes to military spending, the U.S. appears bloated, but Africa is huge when HIV prevalence is mapped.

The cartograms were produced in a unique collaboration between the universities of Michigan in the U.S. and Sheffield. Here are images and more details on some of the most fascinating...

Alcohol Consumption (2001)

HIV Prevalence

House Prices

Military Spending

War and death

Toy Imports

Toy Exports

Wealth of Nations (1500)

Wealth of Nations (2002)

Guides for Writing Papers

Elements of Style by William Strunk is the classic writer's guide. This edition has been formatted for the Web. Students should pay particular attention to the sections on the paragraph and topic sentence.

How to Write a Paper, by P. Halsall, discusses the basic steps involved in writing a paper.

MLA Manuscript Format (in html) and MLA Based Guide for Writing Research Papers (PDF document, link fixed 25 Nov., 2005). This will answer most questions concerning the proper formatting of a research paper. The basis steps in writing such papers are also discussed.

How to Write a Thesis Statement

Paragraphs and Topic Sentences

How Do I Write a Coherent Paragraph and Make Transitions? from the Academic Resource Center, Wheeling Jesuit University. The section on "topic sentences" is particularly useful.

Rhodes College Writing Center Guide to Writing Papers

The Writing Guide, developed by Prof. Carolyn Schriber of Rhodes College, is an excellent guide to the basics of constructing an expository essay (also, it is here as an MS Word doc.)

Chicago Manual of Style Online I recommend this as a guideline for properly formatting the documentation of a paper.

Clip Source: www.delawareonline.com

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

-Stephen Roberts

I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.

-Doug McLeod

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

-Epicurus

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!

-Ned Flanders

Men never commit evil so fully and joyfuly as when they do it for religious convictions.

-Blaise Pascal

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

-Bertrand Russell

Praying is like a rocking chair-- it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.

-Gypsy Rose Lee

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.

-Gene Roddenberry

If a church sign says it, then it must be so:
