Re: HostPapa Review

Hostpapa has taken the money from our small non profit animal welfare society for hosting but they have not even set up our account. They just take the money and run, it has been six days now since it went out of Paypal and still no service.

Re: Should feeds require HTTPS?

bowenmark — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:48:14 -0000

Am I missing something here? Thought that https was a function of the server and as long as there is a certificate attached and the server likes the directories the files are coming from, you're good. Perhaps the aggregator would throw a warning that a certificate is self signed and not save it...

The character limit AFAIK is due to the limits of a text message on your cell phone.

Re: A Windows app to shut down Apache? (Scripting News)

bowenmark — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:03:54 -0000

To stop an Apache service via the command line switches, use this:
httpd -k stop
or
httpd -k shutdown
You can also restart a running service and force it to reread its configuration file by using:
httpd -k restart

Quick Google brought that up, it's about half way down the page:
http://httpd.apache.org/doc...

Use any of the single commands above, save it as a file with the bat extension, put that file anywhere and create a shortcut to it if you like, done.

Kubuntu works great for me and all the eye candy one can stand with Compiz. HP/Intel hardware (dv9000) on a new laptop works better if you have the Vista that comes with it (wipe/repartition with the Kubuntu Live DVD, then reinstall Vista first ). Gazillions of applications available, yada yada.

Thought the same things myself many a time, storage mediums that rely on advanced technology (well, more advanced than acid free paper or stone tablets) tend to be flaky to start with, remember micro-fiche?

jeez, came here for something else and saw this thread - is this some sort of joke or experiment? It's hard to believe someone could be so full of themselves.
