    Add on domain stopped working.

    Check your domain settings on cPanel, and also check your account hasn't been attacked. On the domain you pointed to, the directory contains a saved ebay welcome page, which suggests that someone might have been trying to set up an ebay spoof there. Both domains point to the correct server, so...

    My domain still not pointing to your server.

    You sometimes have to wait for up to 2 days for DNS changes to propagate (also try clearing your local DNS cache). Also, did you set up the nameservers correctly with your domain registrar? (You need to set up the X10 nameservers with the domain registrar, and add your domain on cPanel as well.)

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    I wouldn't call windows UAC any more user-friendly -- sudo has graphical equivalents (gksudo, i.e. graphical password box.) BTW sudo and the whole idea of limited privileges isn't a Linux thing, nor a GNU thing either, it's a *Nix idea, and has been in existence before GNU came about. I find it...

    Is Joomla Chat Components Allowed on X10hosting?

    Any chat system that hosts on X10 is not allowed due to server resource usage. However services such as chatango are allowed, since the hosting isn't on an x10 server. From the TOS:

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    Somehow all the errors I have ever come across with Vista weren't user errors. Maybe in other cases yes, but most complaints I have heard about Vista were similar things to what I mentioned like resource usage, slowness, crashing... I.e. MOST Vista errors aren't user errors. If you've ever...

    SAT's

    What a perfect example of what's in a nice SAT question!

    backup web server?

    I think the X10 TOS meaning of mirroring is using your X10 account as a mirror of another site. You should be perfectly within your rights to mirror your content here on another server if you wish. (The mirroring is mentioned as part of file storage, so I think they mean only mirroring of file...

    SAT's

    I just downloaded a SAT test paper, and it is seriously a joke. The maths part of it I had enough knowledge to do maybe in 3rd/4th year of secondary school, and isn't challenging at all. The Language parts are dead easy as well. I have also been doing some SAT practice questions online and only...

    how do I set up PHP, do I have to do that?

    Unfortunately you can't on this server - you can however use SSI in html, which can also be used to run php scripts.

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    Ah yes, it's a "user error" when Vista freezes when I try to log in as a second user... (The only time I ever tried it it broke...) And a user error that it uses so many resources / is so slow. And a user error is that it keeps needing to restart to install yet more updates. It's also a user...

    Google apps ?

    Nope, you can use your own domain with google apps.

    SAT's

    4th category: highly intelligent people who are also rather social etc. Have a good memory and intellect, so therefore don't need to study too much / know how to organise themselves, do lots of other things, but get the best grades. Highly rare. BTW, trigonometry is quite useful for Engineers...

    China Creates AIDS Vaccine

    Killing people with aids doesn't destroy the virus itself, it just minimises transmission. I'm not sure this is a very ethical method though, it might be better just to castrate/? (There's no equivalent for women...) everyone with aids, which would stop the main transmission route - I don't...

    Annoying bug

    Are the ftp connection limits not already set to 8? I have had error messages on ftp complaining about too many connections (more than 8) using X10 sometimes. I wouldn't call it coinicidental: the first post does say: It would be a rather strange coincidence if occasionally after an upload by...

    What is the Best AntiVirus?

    I use a different antivirus: brain (+knowledge of how an OS works) It's quite a good tool for keeping your computer virus-free... (What else do you expect for someone with an OS where there are virtually no viruses?)

    Annoying bug

    That is likely a firewall issue, which I too experience: however I only get it when uploading lots of small files / deleting lots of files. (Your page is still available during that time, only your IP is blocked temporarily.) I do think something should be done about this since it is rather...

    decompress RAR file in java

    I have an idea: try write it so that all file headers are added to two lists, one with folders, one with files. First, run through the folder list, making folders. Then run through the file list, creating files. That *might* work, but might not. Otherwise do one run of the program in a try/catch...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    The most "treacle" like system I have tried must be Windows XP: When I got a 5 year old laptop I was astounded at the slowness, and then I found out that after 2 years of use the system already took about 10 minutes from login until it was useable, despite having just about everything possible...

    If this is Webmaster tools you're on about: There are two authentications methods: meta tag which needs to be inserted on your index page, OR creating a new page of specified name. Using the second, download the authentication file google provides, and upload it. Note that this doesn't add you...
