    Buy a gun? Oh, you meant 'Any ideas how I could persuade her?'... Use a combination of Excel and PowerPoint, produce a slideshow, lots of graphs. Use words like 'inflation', 'price-to-earnings ratio', 'RPI', etc., and show her what she could get with 30 SEK per month. OR... is there a...

    Help with my hp pavillion dv2000

    Does the HDD light flash after a moment, to indicate that Windows is loading? If it does, try plugging in an external display then turning on the laptop, and maybe pressing the key combo to enable the external display (usually "Fn" plus something).

    Global Warming, melting glaciers, extinct species -- Do u believe?

    And, thermally speaking, what have we come from? An ice age. So grab your nuts, and get ready for a cold spell... Seriously, though, anyone who says they have enough data to comment accurately either way is either a liar or misguided. Or has too much faith in the numbers they have collected...

    homosexuality ?

    There are various groups who agree with you, there. Thing is, I don't get why if I say something like "two guys kissing is odd", an opinion I am entitled to, I get a comment back saying words to the effect of "No it's not, you're odd"... It's as though common belief overrules personal...

    SMTP listed as SPAM server

    Two words: Google Apps (and importing from your existing email account via POP, so you don't lose any messages...)

    homosexuality ?

    Alex Mac: I agree with you on that... two men kissing in the street is just odd. But that's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. I don't see how it's genetic (and find that the way people put a lot of 'choices' down to genetics is just a way of trying to dumb down the brain or avoid...

    Political Correctness

    One just gets the impression that the latest list of Things-You-Cannot-Say comes from somewhere that is so out of touch with reality that it's untrue. I know of nobody who found white/blackboard, or blacklisting, offensive. It's amazing how things have changed. Eg., in the film The Dam...

    Need Help!!

    That'd be why you can password protect the BIOS, password protect the Admin account, and set the HDD to be the primary boot device ;) gomarc: don't need to abort the Windows startup process, just press F8 repeatedly as soon as the BIOS screen goes. catz154: find the Windows CD key, and...

    Very Unsatisfied - 3 days we've been down.

    I do wish people would stop saying this. Being free doesn't remove the right to a decent level of service... It doesn't change anything except the price. There are other free services, so x10Hosting must remain competitive in order to keep customers. Plus, Brandon's right (as usual...), does...

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    Are you going to? No, the reason I don't use Opera is that, despite it being packed with features that you have to install plugins for in Firefox, it simply can't render a lot of websites properly, and through no fault of its own, some sites detect it's not IE or Firefox and reduce...

    Issue with Parked Domain

    Sounds like he wanted index.html to load instead of index.php, so that should be DirectoryIndex index.html surely?

    Political Correctness

    So how does replacing whiteboard/blackboard with wipeboard/chalkboard, and disallowing blacklisting, instead favouring the colour-free 'blocklisting' alternative, fit in to that?

    Political Correctness

    Political Correctness... does it actually have anything to do with politics? What are the origins of this overused, overvalued, and freedom-of-speech reducing phrase? Discuss.

    .htaccess selective redirecting

    Fantastic. It works! For anyone finding this via the searching, and who wants to use the CoralCDN to load images from their website (without interfering with addon domains), you can use this in your .htaccess file: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}...

    .htaccess selective redirecting

    You, sir, are a legend. Thankyou. Any idea how to write an exclusion to make sure that a URL doesn't contain a certain character or string? eg., I have all my addon domains in public_html/_/<addon domain dir> . In short, I'd like to have a .htaccess in the /public_html directory that...
