    Am I wrong in thinking that this is wrong?

    I saw this written on a 1 tonne bag of sand from B&Q: NONE RETURNABLE. It strikes me that this should be "Non Returnable". Am I wrong in thinking this is wrong? Am I crazy? Perhaps history will relate... Xaqster

    How NOT to motivate your staff

    Here is one for you: Actually said to my team by the team leaders during a meeting: "Nobody this year is getting a pay rise. This is because of the state of the IT industry in general. If you want to earn more money, good luck trying to get another job, because there aren't any!!" Bare in...

    How many times we abbreviate and then expand a little of that ?

    I cannot find a reference except http://www.startwright.com/words1.htm , but I thought BASIC was a bacronym? "Strande things are afoot at the Circle K" --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness" http://www.kerbside.net

    Modifying text file

    Another way of doing this is create a file containing only your header. Then use cat as so: cat myheaderfile mydatafile > mynewdatafile Then you can check it in the morning, and rename as needed. Or you can just cat myheaderfile mydatafile > mydatafile if you are a confident sort... This...

    Getting Apache to automatically load on boot (Mandrake 10)

    Thinking about it, the Easiest way in Mandrake 10 is to go into Start Menu -> System -> Configuration -> Configure your computer ( under KDE at least! ). Put in your root password. Click on system, Then services. This will bring you up a list of services with the info, start and stop buttons...

    Newbie confusion: script error

    I had a similar problem myself. easiest way to sort this out is to use vi as so: vi Somescript.sh :set ff=unix ZZ That will sort them out. Cheers Xaq --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness" http://www.kerbside.net

    Xwindows and Kvm problem

    I have had no end of problems with Belikn KVM boxes, Windows and Linux. I have solved it by using the Belkin for the Keyboard, and a seperate mouse per pc. Not Ideal, but this is the only way I could get it to work :-( --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness" http://www.kerbside.net

    Installing a Larger Hard Drive

    It might be worth looking at the program partimage, which I have sucessfully used to move from a 10G to a 40G drive. If you have another pc handy, the latest build can backup a partition accross the network. --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness" http://www.kerbside.net

    Getting Apache to automatically load on boot (Mandrake 10)

    On Mandrake 10, as root do service httpd start Or httpd2 depending on the version of apache you installed. This will start apache, and from my experience put all the files in the correct place to start up again after boot. Cheers Xaq --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness"...

    Backup size bigger than disksize???

    Could be a block size issue. What sort of format are the files in? If they are all small flat files, they can take up more room than you think. --- "I'm just here to regulate funkyness" http://www.kerbside.net
