    very basic .htaccess Question

    I know this is like the most basic question about .htaccess but I don't know the answer and when I google it I either am not understanding the answer or I'm not getting the answer I am looking for. I have an account on a webhost and four domains. The host will not direct the domains for me, I...

    text editors, worth the learning curve?

    I use notepad all the time. I just have heard that Vi and emas were so powerful by comparison that I was a fool to miss out. Yet, it's always spoken of in kind of mystical, nebulous terms. I have started the emacs tutorial and haven't yet met the great and powerful Oz of emacs.

    text editors, worth the learning curve?

    It's a toss up for me if this belongs here or in the Linux topic so I picked one.... Text editors, you know emacs vi and their kin. I know they used to be part of the standard toolkit for all programmers. I have been reading The Pragmatic Programmer and one of their point was "Learn to use one...

    USB Drives (set icon and default letter?)

    I believe the icon is handled by the .ico file internal to the drive. I seem to recall that Lifehacker.com had a feature on changing that. As for drive letter. That seems like it can be set in your autorun file but i don't know how. Typically I have to reset it on a machine by machine basis.

    Does Css Have Any Negative Effect On Ranking?

    Those guys sound pretty knowledgable on that site but... I don't think google invests a lot of time in having humans review the website listings. It seems to me that hidden text should not count against you, afterall people use meta keywords all the time. This seems like the same thing to me...

    you can reformat it but it won't solve your problem, I don't think. Do you know anyone else on campus with a thumb drive that works? Chances are they are disabled.

    How hard is HTML ?

    That depends on what level you want to use them. If you are just whipping up a webpage to convey info to family or friends, you only need a few that you really know. If you really want to work on webpages, it's probably good to know as many as you can. If for no other reason than to practice...

    I was given a PDA, a Zire 72. It looks pretty cool, it has a camera in it and MP3 capabilities built in. I've never had a PDA but hope to make a good run with this one. Any recommendations on software and so on? I use google for my email and calendar. I like to use open office when I can. I...
