How To Defrost a Refrigerator

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 07:52 PM PDT

Most modern refrigerators sold today run on a no-frost technology. This means that the freezer will not build up frost on its wall, ceiling and floor. However, not everyone will have a brand new refrigerator in their kitchens. Also, some people will prefer to use traditional refrigerators, because these use less energy than no-frost refs.

Most modern refrigerators that don't run on no-frost technology will give you an easy way to defrost, though. You will usually just need to push a button, and the compressor will turn off. The refrigerator will cease from cooling, to let the ice melt. The melted ice will then drain off through the chiller pan, and the water will drain to a collecting pan usually found at the back of the refrigerator.

How To Defrag in Linux

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 07:49 PM PDT

If your computer uses a hard drive with a spinning disk (like about 99% of computers), your data will probably be scattered all around the disks. Hard drives work with an index or table of contents, where each particular piece of a file is physically located. When a file needs to be accessed, the hard drive head will move to these blocks of physical space on your hard drive to read or write information.

Unless you use a solid-state device for your storage (such as a flash drive, or a true SSD, which comes with some expensive portable computers) data that is extremely fragmented will cause slowdowns in accessing information. On computers running Windows, defragmenting is usually a no-brainer, as Windows usually schedules defragmenting at regular intervals. With Linux becoming a popular choice for computers nowadays (especially netbooks, laptops, and PCs in educational settings), more and more users are trying to learn how to do things on Linux.

How To Get Better MPG with Properly Inflated Tires

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 05:49 PM PDT

MPG, or Miles per Gallon, is a unit of measurement used to determine how many miles an automobile can run on one gallon worth of fuel. In 2005, students of Carnegie Mellon University made an informal study and its results show that out of eighty-one cars parked on the campus, only one car had four properly inflated tires. Studies made by USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) shows that a consumer can save up to 3.3 percent of fuel usage if you make certain that your tires are properly inflated before use.
