In terms of stability and processing speed, is there an advantage to getting a "Core 2 Duo" rather than a 3.+GHz processor? Note that I mostly do the average type of computer work -- a little light Photoshop for photo editing, but no high-end video construction or anything remotely close to...

Does anyone know if an online service exist which will scan a webpage and then report whether or not that page is attempting to impose a virus/spywear etc? It would work something like this... I would go to the service homepage and enter a URL for some other site; They would use their tools...

When I upload an .htaccess file that I create with NotePad, it of course wants to add the .txt extension. Generally when the upload is complete, I use the "rename" feature of my FTP program to remove the .txt. However I use one hosting service that for whatever reason, will not show me files...

I've had a strange experience with htaccess. I tried adding a .htaccess file to a subfolder (2 levels from top) on my website. The purpose was to allow pages from within my domain to access the pages in that folder via internal links, but no access for external links placed outside the domain...

I have a Sony "Spressa" cd rw drive that has worked for several years (running on Windows 98SE). For some reason today it is not being detected -- I've tried turning it on/off, plugging the USB in/out, using "Detect New Hardware" in the control panel, and rebooting, but to no avail. Is there a...

We have a directory that needs minimal password protection . I realize that htaccess is the very best security, however I don't even want people to have to remember a username -- a single common password for everyone would be fine. I searched through many tutorials this afternoon looking for a...

Is it possible to protect a directory so a person would only have to know either a password or a username to gain access? I need minimal protection and would like to use htaccess, but don't want the box that requires both username and password -- one or the other would be adequate. Thanks for...

I had asked in the php forum how I could drop a php include directive into an existing HTML page. One of the participants suggested: "...if you can use .htaccess include a mod-rewrite rule to redirect the "old" .html page to the "new" .php version." The writer wasn't exactly sure what the...

Is there a way to reference a php script from within an existing html page, in a similar manner to how external javascripts are referenced? For example, I'd like to utilize a php script that will detect a person's ip and redirect them to another page. I want to put this on my mail form html...

I am looking at an image generation program called "Vorras Antibot" to prevent automatic form submission by robots (http://vorras.com/products/antibot/). Under the System Requirements, it says: "Python 2.0 or higher installed". Since I have never worked in Python I'm a little confused -- does...

Some cgi scripts say that they require SSI to work -- an example would be one that displays the number of visitors online at any given time. However if a person wants to incorporate that particular feature into existing pages, then it could be a real problem to have to rename everything with the...

I use an html editor called FirstPage2000 (not to be confused with MS FrontPage). When a javascript has an error, it will put up a message that will refer to a line number and character number. Unfortunately, when I check the line# / character#, they do not seem to correspond to anything...

I realize there are perl scripts that can measure the server uptime and server load, but I was wondering if it's possible to measure server downtime over a specified period. For example, such a script might allow us to access an .shtml page that would say something like "This website's...

I realize there are scripts that can measure the server uptime and server load, but I was wondering if it's possible to measure server downtime over a specified period. For example, we would access a .shtml page that would say something like "The server was down 4 hours 6 minutes 12 seconds...

I noticed today when looking over a list of servers that the Linux based were consistently better priced than other options. So I have a question -- If a person moves an entire site from a unix based to a linux, are there any changes that must be made to any files (especially cgi)? or from the...

I came to Windows at 98SE, so never had to learn DOS, and would like to know... If I boot from the emergency floppy in the [A] drive, and want to run Norton System Works in the cd drive [D], is this the way the dos command should look? If incorrect, please advise... A: \D: cd

Following a recent 15 hour server outage, I installed a cgi script that tells me some data about my server, including "load average". What does that mean? Is a higher number worse than a lower number? When does it get to be a concern? Here is an example of what the script displays...

Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to login to my website directory online (not my harddrive), and then search & replace a text string in an entire folder of files? I have a program called InfoRapid that will do this for an entire folder on my harddrive; and I have another program...

Some time ago I accidentally filled in the wrong user name for a website's login screen, then clicked "Save" when Windows asked me if I wanted it to automatically use that from then on. It's been driving me nuts ever since, as I have to keep correcting the error. So the question...

I have found a number of perl scripts that count outward clicks. They seem to break down into 2 groups -- (1) those that simply count/log the clicks; and (2) "re-direct" scripts (also will count/log). Is there an obvious advantage (or disadvantage) to using one method over the other...
