Free Answers from Experts-Exchange.com » gHacks tech news

You might have stumbled upon this site if you ever had a computer related question that you could not answer. First step, ask google. Second step, find websites that force you to login or even pay to see the answer. Big thanks to eonestudio for making this little trick public. The above link displays a video which shows how you can take a look at the answers for free.

All you need to do is the following. Search for something, e.g. printing from a website, the search string you would enter would look like the following.

printing from a website site:experts-exchange.com

Please note that it is not neccessary to use the site:experts-exchange.com parameter, this is only done for demonstration purposes.

The first search result will link directly to the experts-exchange.com article with no solution but a button stating View Solution. If you click that button you see that you will have to subscribe to view the solution. Not today though.

Go back to the google results page and click on Cached which loads a cached version of that webpage. Guess what ? The cached page holds all the answers to the question right at the bottom. Just scroll down and see for yourself.
