Will my old Vodafone pay-as-you-go SIM work in my unlocked, jailbroken iPhone?
I'm going to Afghanistan and just wondering if this thing will work and at a reasonable rate. Right now I have No Service in WA and can't pull up my phone number on the phone either. Or that it's not working means my phone isn't really unlocked-- I just think it is?

Anyone have any good ideas for stopping glow from laptop screen to appease sleeping spouse?
My wife hates it when I bring the laptop to bed because the light annoys her. I've been looking at privacy filters because I'm thinking they might be a good way to stop some of the side glow, but I can't find anything with more than a 3 star rating on Amazon and it seems like most people think they suck. Any better i...

To give Marx's famous and often quoted "opium of the people" a little context.
I think that putting this quote in context is important, especially considering how often it is quoted (and misquoted) in arguments between theists and non-theists. From 'Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right: Introduction'. >Religious suffering is at once the *expression* of real suffering a...
If a guy (assuming you are a guy) started hitting on you, how would you react.
I'm gay, but I not a flamer. In fact, all the people I've come out to have been surprised. This said, I'm basically asexual because there is just too much of a risk in approaching strangers while conveying attraction. I'm not too keen on the club scene, and most sites I've seen have been hook-up sites.What's a mild-man...

Hello guys, i am a senior student at computer engineering undergraduate program and looking for a master education that will close me up brain studies as much as possible.

What was your favorite Apogee game?
I was partial to Biomenace, but as a kid I mostly only played the shareware version of just about every game they came out with. I wish I could find them all now (if anyone knows, that info would be greatly appreciated). What was everyone else's favorite Apogee game(s)?

Hey Reddit, we've bashed Texas for its creationist State Board of Education, now it's time to defeat a YOUNG EARTH creationist up for reelection.
Don McLeroy, from SBOE Dist. 9, has been on the Texas State Board of Education for 11 years – two years as the Chairman, and he is up for reelection. McLeroy is an outspoken Young Earth Creationist. Like most rationalists, we agree with the rest of the community that religious extremism is dangerous to our children's ...
Variations On Simple Syrup?
I recently bought a pair of plastic squeeze bottles with the intent of filling them with some homemade simple syrup (it seems like an absurd thing to buy, given how easy it is to make). Since I have two I figure I might as well do one the old fashioned way and another with some kind of added flavor. Any suggestions on ...
What do you think of Massive Attack's new album 'Heligoland'?
Received my copy of the album yesterday and gave it a few listens. It's certainly different. A few tracks will probably take some time to grow on me. I was wondering redditors are pleased with the new sound or preferred the band's older stuff?

Dear Reddit, what's your favorite Seinfeld quote?
Dear Reddit, My girlfriend and I have found ourselves watching Seinfeld on a constant basis over the past five years. It's not like there is a shortage of comedies out there to enjoy (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Office) but Seinfeld has tremendous replay value and I find myself quoting it - both i...
I'm all for picking on Palin but at least pick on her for something less ridiculous
Sarah Palin is human, just because she needed to write down a few memory joggers on her palm to help her doesn't make her an idiot or a fool. Pick on her policies - not the way she gives speeches.
What are some examples of large corporations that are not demonized by "THE LEFT?"
I was listening to my dad's take on politics a few days ago (not talking because it's difficult to get a word in edgewise sometimes). He repeatedly made the claim that "THE LEFT" (you have to say it in evil capital letters) demonizes profit and corporations that make large profits. His example was the suggestion of a...

OK Reddit, if you're having a PB&J, what is your preferred flavor of jelly?
I was also wondering if there is a back up flavor, in case you are out of your preference. Also, brand preference? Personally, I love apple butter. And grape jelly, must be Welch's brand. What about you?
2-fold question here. Does hearing a particular artist's song in a car commercial make you more or less likely to buy that auto? Do you cry "sellout!", or embrace that the band is getting more exposure?
So I heard a song from 'grizzly bear' last night during the handegg bowl and I have to admit it was weird. Coupled with 'phoenix' being in some recent ones too, I got to thinking... As a gen xy'er, and based on the bands relatively "indie" nature, I sort of shake my head and lean towards the 'sellout' side of things. ...

Even if it's a Hallmark Holiday, participation for many is MANDATORY. Share your best Valentine's Day ideas now, so there's a little time for others to pull them off this year.
Yeah, it's probably mostly about massive markups on flowers and is about as actually romantic as Steak and A Blowjob Day...but whatever our opinions are, many face serious repercussions if they don't put at least a little effort into Valentine's Day. Please regale us with your tales of romantic prowess.

Are energy efficient bulbs really saving people money?
This has been crossposted in Science BTW Here's my thought process: Energy efficient bulbs use less electricity to light up an area because less energy is wasted by creating heat (conservation of energy and all that). So as long as the area the heat was going into didn't need to be heated, that energy that w...
Once we master sustained fusion reactions, How do we make that into electricity?
As a physics hobbyist and a long time sci fi fan, I've been following the progress of our fusion research for years. I understand the basics of magnetic confinement via tokamak reactors, and the work being done by the NIF using lasers and Helium pellets. The part that I don't understand is the practical. How do we turn...
Dear Reddit (admins): please tweak m.reddit.com to not look like absolute shit. Thanks.
I realize there's an iPhone app that works wonderfully (I'm using an iPhone right now) but there are still shortcomings; the most notable being the inability to submit posts. Furthermore, the iPhone app is just that: an **iPhone** app. It's not the only phone out there by a large margin. All in all, I think Reddit ne...
Does anyone own the 'Microcontroller Experimentation Kit' from thinkgeek? How is it?
It's pretty expensive, but it covers a world that I don't understand (and would love to). If anyone can provide alternate/supplemental learning materials I'd be very grateful. link
Can humans be intrinsically evil, or is evilness/goodness a product of socialization and upbringing?
Many serial killers' actions can be attributed in part to terrible upbringings: unfit parents, sexual abuse, etc. For instance, the Boston Strangler, Albert DiSalvo, was sold off as a slave by his father. Charles Manson was offered to a waitress by his mother for a pitcher of beer. Countless other "bad guys" come from ...
Dear ladies (or men) of reddit, do any of you find muscles unattractive?
A little background. I started dating my current gf two years ago, being 5'10 and about 170lbs. I started weight training about a year ago in order to prep for the Army, and I've packed on about 30lbs of muscle. My gf has stated a few times that she worries about me getting too big, anyone else feel this way?
Guys: do you feel regret that you'll probably never sleep with a model?
My male best friend was looking at some porn and dirty magazines when the thought hit him so hard he had to stop fapping: he would never be able to sleep with a model. He would never sleep with a celebrity. He was just an average lower-middle-class guy with a beer gut and an office job. Those beautiful women he spen...

Whats so wrong with Sarah Palin?
I'm not defending her or anything, I'm just really ignorant when it comes to politics. I just want to know why she is such a terrible person. On reddit all I see are people saying she doesn't know what she's talking about but I've never seen anything that actually corroborates this. So my question is, "Why is Sarah Pal...

Homo here (gay male, 20s).

This might sound weird, but does anyone know a good way to dream more?
Well, at all, in my case. I haven't dreamed in so long. I think the last was when I was seven or so. It was pretty horrific, that might have something to do with it. Here's how it went: I was crossing a street to go somewhere-or-other, when a car came drove toward me and smacked me pretty well in my side. I didn't fe...

What does it take for you to call in sick at work?
My job allows me to call in sick if need be with no penalties or the need to use vacation days.

Are Java Certifications worth pursuing?
I finished the Stanford CS106A course and I'm almost done with going through the Head First Java book.

Was anybody else taught theories become laws in school?
To my knowledge, a law is a description of an observed phenomenon. A Theory is an explanation of an observed phenomenon.

My sexual partner seems to have Vaginismus (a very tight vagina). Are there effective treatments?
We can usually only get two fingers in there or else it causes some pain. Intercourse requires quite a lot of preparation and is still often painful for her. Yes, we use lots of lube. She bought a vibrator to try to relax things in there a bit. We were mainly wondering if there there were any effective treatments out t...

Can you imagine life without being connected (to the internet)? What would you do without it?
Personally, as a writer, I would have to do more original research and rely less heavily on the internet, but I would only miss it for a time before other, perhaps more time consuming avenues (conversation, reading books) took over. Professionally I'm not sure WHAT I'd do without the internet.
DAE (guys, particularly teenage) cry, but only as a result of a huge amount of built up stress?
I don't know why, but I didn't cry when I found out that either of my grandparents died. The last time I cried of actual sadness was many years ago when I found my dead dog. But now, every few months or so, after school, life, and parents slamming me for those just add to stress and frustration, I'll just snap. I star...

Hey Reddit - Were any of you homeschooled K-12 and have gone on to a good university or college and graduated?
I'm considering homeschooling as an option for my children for a list of reasons.

At first I thought the idea of homeschooling was crazy. ...

To the rhythm guitar experts, do you have tips for improvising?

Dear Science Reddit, what books, sites and documentaries about socio- and evolutionary biology blow your mind?

I just overheard something pretty silly. Let's play a game using our imaginations.
Today in passing, I overheard a young gentleman (17-ish) speaking to a young lady (same) in the parking lot outside my hotel. Obviously not an unusual event by any means. But it was slightly singular in that the 13 words he uttered were arranged in such a way that I believe no amount of unheard context can make this *n...
Why do games not have interactive loading screens?
I hate staring at the static loading screen every time I boot up my game and see the same 5 game tips repeated over and over again.

In the interest of equality - FEMALES of Reddit: How do I (a male) make myself look more approachable in public?
Like in a bookstore or at a show. I feel like I always look disinterested, when I'd really be very open to girls talking to me! What are the visual cues that I'm just missing? Related to this post Yeah, sorry, I know this post seems (and is) a bit sarcastic. But what I mean to say by it is - why are we, in a society...
