    Wither English?

    According to the dictionary, as a preposition, the word "of" can be used as a function word to indicate the position in time. With this usage, "of" becomes a synonym of "before". Interestingly, in German, the quarter, half and three-quarter measurements of an hour are quite common --...

    Yahoo IM, or other popular IM clients are just like Incruddiemail and Outlook Express -- as has been mentioned, they don't install spyware. They have relatively little security to help protect against virus and spyware attacks. Compound this weakness with poor or no malware protection, and you...

    Suse 9.3 quirks

    After playing with Suse 9.3 for a bit, I think I'll set it up as a file server in my house. Plus, I might start up Apache and use it for web development. But as far as a desktop environment goes, and the Windows applications that must be run, it doesn't cut the mustard. I am impressed with...

    Suse 9.3 quirks

    Initialize the boot sector? Do you mean write zeros? Besides erasing the boot sector, you also need to erase the BPB at sector 74. The best thing is to write zeros to the first few hundred sectors of the drive.

    Dear musicians et al., I do not have a technical understanding of music, so I'm appealing to this group for an explanation of a riff. I've looked online for definition, and I believe that I have some idea. However, is a riff required to play through an entire song? Could (Is) a riff be one...

    NV Pain

    With the Gigabyte boards that I've used, there is a PATA/SATA-RAID option that is enabled by default, which I normally disable. Plus, for other Gigabyte boards that include NV-RAID and a Silcon Image controller, there is another option labeled RAID-5, which is enabled by default, for the...

    NV Pain

    Just as a note Steve, I usually end up disabling the NV RAID feature. When disabled, the SATA drives show up during POST. Anyway, this can also become a problem, as I've had the BIOS inadvertantly drop back to default settings (how, I don't know, but it caused a few service calls), which...

    Holy Hurricane, Batman!

    From what I've been told, Puerto Rico is very much on par with this idea. A friend of mine has family there, and his father-in-law builds homes. They are normally designed to withstand massive hurricanes and earthquakes, since they are both frequent occurrences on the island.

    Just as a note Tony, if someone visits regent.org.au and has images turned off, the honeyeater logo is no where to be seen. It would be a little bit more complicated, but you might want to create the text for the logo with CSS. So, when the background image is gone, their name continues to...
