LastPass vs. KeePass: What's the Best Online Password Management?
Oct 27, 1:43PM
For years, we've been touting the virtues of KeePass Password Safe, a free open-source program for storing all your website passwords and associated notes behind a single master password. And to synch KeePass across multiple machines, we've been recommending that readers store the encrypted database on Dropbox.

There Are Actually Lots of Ways to Time Travel
Oct 27, 1:10PM
Okay so yeah, we can't actually do all of this time traveling in practice, but there's a lot of jumping around that physicist know would work in theory. And if they could just figure out how to create negative energy, also known as exotic matter for some reason, we could build spinning cylinders and wormholes to our collective heart's content. And as Minute Physics points out, don't forget the type of time travel we all do constantly. It's quotidian enough to be kind of annoying, but it's actually kind of great to remember that we're all moving through space-time all the . . . time.

Climb Your Family Tree With These Online Genealogy Tools
Oct 26, 7:00PM
The questions of who we are and where we came from can often be answered, not by looking inward, but by looking backward.

Luckily, tracing one's roots is easier than ever thanks to the Internet.

Oct 26, 3:15PM
Though there may be plenty of hurdles when it comes to getting self-driving cars on the road in large numbers, Google has gotten one step closer to its goal of replacing every human on Earth with machines (I think that's what "Don't Be Evil" meant).

He used C4 and det cord to create explosions better than any Halloween party. [Rated RR]
