I'm not sure I like the idea of using my head as a conductor. :shock:
Quote:[b]Remote Car Key

Suppose your remote car door opener does not have the range to reach your car across the parking lot. Hold the metal key part of your key fob against your chin, then push the unlock button. The trick turns your head into an antenna, says Tim Pozar, a Silicon Valley radio engineer.

Mr. Pozar explains, ⿿You are capacitively coupling the fob to your head. With all the fluids in your head it ends up being a nice conductor. Not a great one, but it works.⿝ Using your head can extend the key⿿s wireless range by a few car lengths.

Wow. Instead of looking like a tard why not walk the extra 40 feet? Plus, what is the advantage of unlocking your car before arriving to it anyway?
Seems like nonsense.

Crashed Hard Drive

If ⿿ no, make that when ⿿ your PC⿿s hard drive crashes and can⿿t be read, don⿿t be too quick to throw it out. Stick it in the freezer overnight.

⿿The trick is a real and proven, albeit last resort, recovery technique for some kinds of otherwise-fatal hard-drive problems,⿝ writes Fred Langa on his Windows Secrets Web site. Many hard drive failures are caused by worn parts that no longer align properly, making it impossible to read data from the drive. Lowering the drive⿿s temperature causes its metal and plastic internals to contract ever so slightly. Taking the drive out of the freezer, and returning it to room temperature can cause those parts to expand again.

That may help free up binding parts, Mr. Langa explains, or at least let a failing electrical component remain within specs long enough for you to recover your essential data.

Would not work with mine, I have just bought a new Toyota Avensis and it relocks itself if too far away.
