Question On .EDU email accounts/address - Off-topic

Short of actually going to or having gone to or graduated from school or working for a school there is no way to grab an .EDU account, correct?
I have family members with sitting .EDU accounts open to me but I'd really like my own for use. Sometimes they come in handy for legitimacy and deals. New Years resolution number 9: if possible, find and keep a back up .EDU.

You can try this: http://www.edumail.edu.pl/ . Isigned up and waiting for them to make it.

Well it seems to work for me. Got an e-mail windows and whatnot. Now I'd just have to try it on a service that gives .edu discounts, but 'm too lazy for that. Also no spam as of yet, but GMails spam filter will probably catch it.

Alright. You convinced me. Try it on a Dropbox account. Double everything for EDU users.

Well for dropbox you need to be from an approved school. So even if you have an .edu email, if your school isn't approved, you won't get the doubles.

Yeah. You were asking for something quick to test it on. Dropbox is the quickest. Who knows? It might even work?

I know, I'm a horrible person. I thought I read that the G1 didn't have a compass but the G2 would, so I assumed it didn't have one and never bothered looking around. It's a good thing I found it, you never know when you'll be lost in the forest with no GPS reception and only a star map and the G1 compass to save the day.
Now that I think about it, I remember a demo for the G1 a year or two ago where they showed it using street view + compass to automatically change orientation of the view as you turned. That was pretty *****in'.

contact the developer via email he will probably send it to you, ive spent the past few days emailing people apks and its getting old, besides the fact that i think h build is better, and that this is one more reason why, it seems that everytime someone talks about an app, there are plenty of people that go "oh email me the apk to this app, even though its just a dumb app that uses the compass to find metal thats close to the phone (within a foot) and serves no real purpose other than entertainment, i just HAVE to have it, but not at the expense of emailing the developer directly, no, i have to have everyone on xda email me apk's of every new app since im using a build with a broken market"
ok, enough ranting, ill send it to you , as soon as you give up that secret email of yours

is my link i need 28 people to sign up and do one just on offer many of which are free.
I don't have much to offer in return but thanks, maybe some google+ invites(not that those are rare anymore), and maybe even some light cash(albeit probably very light) but i have signed up for the site and haven't gotten spam, so if you do a free offer and help me it would be awesome.
i'm in college studying architecture and this would be a huge help over my inspiron e1705 from 4 years ago
If you are willing to do it for nothing i will be eternally grateful

But good luck anyway, I wouldn't sign up for a site like that, seems to easy, if it's too good to be true, it usually is.
what makes it not too good to be true is the hassle of having to get others to buy into the idea, and actually doing offers, it's all advertising. for sites like intuit, gamefly etc.
but i do understand not wanting to deal with it.

Yeah, I feels, good luck. You should just go read the rules real quick and make sure this is even allowed. They aren't that long

You guys have that sometime you forget very important things?

You guys sometime forget very important things although you prepared it all very good, but at the last moment you still forget it.
Today it happened with me, I sent mine passport away for an visa application, but after I got home I see that I forget to put the required flight ticket with it.
After that I read suddenly that the travel plan is still needed, first I though it was not needed any more from 22-03-2012, but just now I read that it is not needed any more from 22-03-2013.
So now I'm confused, did I read it wrong or did they first put on that page 22-03-2012? Well I send two mails with the missing documents, I hope they don't charge me administration costs for those 4 A4 prints they need to make for me now.
CRAP! You just reminded me of something! Sorry about your problem but I got to go! Literally!

I guess you never need apply for an visa which requires you to put many documents with the application.
That's where I'm talking about, I forget to put two important documents and I already e-mailed the documents to that company, but I got no response back. I could be they just print it and add and that it, but I would like an response.
I'm now like tracking the package I send to them and I will call later again if I see they got it. As they must see the mistake them self to, they must control it on mistakes.
ohhh, u made a mistake applying for your visa, gotcha. Can't say I feel ur pain bro, im Canadian. Hope it works out for u thou
The annoying thing is, normally she answers the mail kinda fast, but I haven't got an reply on mine mail anymore since 22-03-2012.
I guess they are busy? May is probably a month many people will apply for a visa. Oh well I just keep tracking the package and if they wanna charge me € 15 administration costs for printing 4A papers then I will send an mail that I found a company who does the visa application cheaper.
But I don't think they send it to the ambassade whichout checking everything. I'm just human so I can make mistakes to.
EDIT
Everything will come alright the company mailed.

Anyone know a way around this?

Fairly basic maths really. 'How to unblock...' is a subset of what Google can do, therefore Google does indeed equal more than just that
Just don't bother.
That you have come to XDA to ask suggests you don't have the skills to hack the work web filter, it may be an ASA with a CSC module or similar.

To be brutally honest with you dude;-
You are at WORK. They are paying you to work, not to fu*k around with your phone. I used to have a colleague who played around with his phone at work while the rest of us actually did his job - he didn't last for long.
Keep your work at work and play with your toys in your own time, rather than trying to get one over on your employer

Did you even bother to actually read to OP and the thread, or did you just read a couple of words and decided to post this pointless answer?
If the OP's company blocks hosting sites, TOR installers etc then I don't think simply trying to use https will acheive anything - do you?
ever try underget.com? I worked for me for a few weeks, until one day I tried it, and was blocked.
I was in a similar situation. I feel if my job is done, I should be able to relax *a little*.
I know employers will never agree, and that we should be helping others who cant finish their jobs, or go clean the office, etc..
You can always upgrade your mobile data plan, and download from your phone/device. Is there a free (unblocked)wifi in the area you could utilize?
happy hacking... I can relate. I used to have a virtual machine running ubuntu, building kernels in my free time.
If you change your OP to: how to get to blocked sites so I can develop Sooper Awesome Kernel and Rom for Device XYZ, I some people would have been more inclined to help...
part of me says, yeah i should be "working", the other half says do what I feel, and I end up usually browsing the web.. and laughing my butt off to the off topic images thread... lol

That only works if the web filter is crap and the website is also running on port 443 which most don't.
OP now I'm with you, I used to work 12 hour shifts in IT at night and weekends, we used the office modem to play online games etc, and also watch DVDs.
You could talk nicely to your IT guys and see if they can make an exception for you.
Use your phone as a USB modem and download via that. If your company has blocked access to certain sites then you're risking getting sacked if you find a way to access them. Respect your company's wishes and stop trying to stumble your way around their security.
