We've posted a number of engineering news stories from dvice, is their whole website causing you problems?

All I can say is that today is the first time I have ever seen this message.

It is I who posted the link in reference the original posting by DVCE of the same title, under Engineering news, which is safe.

I have personally haven't had problems with the site afrigadget.com. However, my sincere apologies if this has compromised your system in any way. Maybe your anti-virus is set at "paranoid?" If you saw a virus alert its best to not proceed further as I cannot fully vouch for it.

In any case I have known afrigadget for the past ~4 yrs as a great site that features seemingly rudimentary yet applicable and beneficial technologies by and for the folks in Africa. It has excellent examples of frugal engineering.

_{Frugal Engineering is the science of breaking up complex engineering processes into its basic components and then re-building each component in the most economical manner. The end result is a simpler, more robust and easier to handle final process. It also results in a much cheaper final product which does the same job qualitatively and quantitatively as a more expensive complexly engineered product.}

_{It is generally believed that Africans, Indians and other South Asians are the most adept in frugal engineering, because resources and capital are scarce in these regions.}

I got the same warning as well.

I removed the link to the site (URL remains) from the comment. People can paste it into their browsers if they want to give it a try.
