How to open blocked sites

Image
Using IP Instead of URL This depends on the software/application used. Sometimes blocked sites are stored as a list of URLs (eg. www.yahoo.com, www.donwload.com,etc) and typing the IP instead of the URL might sometimes work. In a local computer, doing a  ping domain.com command in Command Prompt (Mac users use Terminal) will return you the IP address. You can also do it online via  www.whatsmyip.org Redirection with Short URL service Sometimes the URL you intend to browse might be ban, but converting them to another a shorter URL with short URL services might just help you to bypass the settings. Google Cache Search engines like Google and Yahoo cache webpages and these cached pages are stored in search engines themselves, which likely will be added to the blocked list. Click on the ‘cache’ will bring you to a cache version of the page, as updated as how Google caches it. Internet Archive – Wayback Machine Wayback Machine is a ...

If you could fold a piece of paper 42 times, it would reach the moon

Image
This is possibly one of the most unbelievable facts we’ve ever posted. What you first might think is that this can't possibly be true because the 200 paper stacks sold at stores are only a few centimeters.  But if you consider how folding paper works, it all makes sense. The moon’s average distance from earth is 384,000 kilometers away. If you take a piece of paper and fold it in half, it would be twice as thick as it was before. One page is about 0.01 centimeters high.  That means it would take 3,840,000,000,000,000 pages, or 3.8 pentillion pages, to reach the moon- if they were stacked on top of each other. How then, could one piece of paper folded 42 times reach the moon?  The answer is simple when you consider exponential growth. When you fold a page, it becomes twice as thick as it was before- two pages thick. But when you fold it a second time, it becomes four pages thick because it doubles again. If you fold it a third time, it’s eight pages thick....

Largest dino

Attenborough to reveal largest ever dinosaur The new species was a true prehistoric giant.  The gargantuan reptile, which measured 37 meters in length, was recently unearthed in Argentina. The largest dinosaur ever to walk the face of the Earth, this colossal beast would have weighed in excess of 70 tonnes - that's equivalent to 920 average human adults. Its massive thigh bone, which at 8ft long is itself taller than a human, was discovered in 2014 at a farm in Argentina's Chubut province. Paleontologists who went to the site to investigate eventually managed to dig up a further 220 bones belonging to seven dinosaurs of the same species. Excavation leader Dr Diego Pol described the find as a "palaeontological crime scene." "According to our estimates this animal weighed 70 tones," he said. "A comparison of the back bones shows that this animal was 10 per cent larger than Argentinosaurus, the previous record holder. So we have discovered the ...

Robots

Robots could outnumber humans by 2040 Could robots one day take over the world ? Author Logan Streondj has calculated the point at which robots will outnumber Earth's human population. The idea of a future overrun by intelligent machines might seem more like the plot of a science fiction movie than a genuine concern, but what if such a thing were to actually come to pass ? Streondj, who is currently writing a new science fiction novel, decided to work out just how long it would actually take for robots to become more numerous than human beings. To do this he had to compare human birth and death rates with the number of robots built and decommissioned each year. "While homo-sapiens live on average 70 years, according to World Fact Book, robots have a life expectancy closer to 10 years, so would need to produce about seven times more robots per year in order to have the same number as humans," he wrote. His findings suggested that robots would begin to outnumber...

Top visited websites

In the ultra-competitive world of the Internet, many websites have come and gone over the years. However, there are some websites have taken hold of the public’s imagination and become more than just websites. They have become a part of our lives, as familiar to all of us as your pet or your best friend. What would even come as a bigger surprise to you is that some of the world’s most popular websites include some names you’ve probably never heard before, while you may have heard of big names like Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Amazon, you probably may not have heard of names such as  Baidu, Tencent, VK or Yandex — but those are the most popular websites in places like China, Belarus and Russia and because of the huge population of places like China and India, popular websites in countries like these are also very popular in the global scheme of things.  The list of the top ten most visited websites in the world has remained virtually unchanged for quite a while now. This is du...

Communicate better with your company's programmers.  Maybe you don't need to be a programming pro yourself, but having basic code literacy will help you relate to the coders in your workplace and better understand how and why bugs occur. Optimize and test landing pages.  Basic HTML and CSS are key if you want to optimize and test your landing pages. And trust me--you definitely want to be doing those things!
