Sometimes, a Windows printer will print multi-page documents in the 'wrong' order...so you end up with a stack of papers with the last page on top. One possible reason is a configuration problem in the Printer Settings:

I recently set up a Linux (Ubuntu) based network to allow VPN connectivity, and to avoid headaches1 I wanted to modify the internal IP address scheme from the default (192.168.1.0) scheme.

This definition was categorized as 'cynical', but it looks pretty honest to me...

My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going on to be scared.

I wish I could remember which airport this was in...it just struck me as funny that EVERYONE has trouble with Windows and the 'help' it offers:

5 or so years ago, I had all my domain management and hosting done through Network Solutions. It turns out they were charging $35 per year for domain name renewal, when relative newcomers like GoDaddy were charge about $8. Switching away from Network Solutions was purely cost-savings for me then, and I haven't been disappointed with GoDaddy since switching.

I just got off the phone with Network Solutions, after about 2 weeks of mind-numbing attempts to wrestle another domain from their clutches. Here's the run-down:

On a decent sized (500+ users) Drupal 5 web site, I ran into the same problem documented here, wherein the extra fields defined for users (in the Profile module) caused each user to occupy several rows of the table in a table-mode View.

Mark Peal did a nice job describing the problem, so I'll just copy/paste it here for completeness:

I followed the tutorial detailed here and am now able to use my Palm 755p as a tethered USB modem, connecting to the Internet with an eeePC. My service provider is Alltel, and I paid for the USB modem software (I tried it first - the demo version worked fine too).

In scanning through a ZDNet article/interview with Lawson's Harry Debes, this quote caught me as particularly funny...

People are stupid. History has shown it repeats itself, and people make the same mistakes.

I'm working on a project which requires me to read (with C#) existing SQL Server 2005 'Image' datatype data, making it useful to the end user in an ASP.NET application. The trouble is, the mime type for the data stored in each row is not stored...there isn't an easy way to tell, in advance, if the data I'm pulling out is a pdf, gif, jpg, zip, docx, xml, bmp or some other file type.

Looking closely at the stored data, I noticed that they start with consistent values (headers), and there are only a handful of different headers there.
