Thanks to a pointer from Seth Maislin that auto-indexing an MS Word file can corrupt a document, I can confirm that this is the case.

Reason

My Samsung Galaxy Portal runs Android 2.1. I could find no documentation explaining how to enter a "£" British UK Pound sign (and other symbols) into messages.

The solution

Installing and configuring Thunderbird 3.1 for the first time, I discovered it would automatically create an IMAP email account, rather than POP3. In Thunderbird's Account Settings / Server settings, there is no option to change from IMAP to POP3.

The Solution

EasyPHP is a free Web-server software suite, providing a Windows version of Apache, MySQL and PHP (WAMP) in an easy-to-install package. But it doesn't run CGI programs automatically. But it is quite easy to enable.

After installing easyphp.org, and ensuring it runs to make the changes, you needs to quit!

Each time I started my PC, one of the boot-up screens was showing an error (edited):

Since my PC was still working, and I my hard disk was showing more than 465.8GB full, then the second physical drive must be working OK, despite the error message.

Although there is a control panel associated with this screen, there is not an option to fix the problem.

Our radiators needed bleeding to remove excess air (they were hot at the bottom, and cooler towards the top). But we need to get more water into the system via our Greenstar 24i junior (or 28i junior) boiler, as the panel was showing a pressure of around 0.5. Here's how.

Thanks for your email regarding Google Scholar. In order to improve coverage and citation accuracy for your content in Google Scholar, we recommend that you provide us with article-level metadata for your publication(s). The easiest way to do so is by embedding "metatags" of your bibliographic information within your website's HTML pages. Once the tags are in place, our crawlers can re-crawl this data and add it to the Scholar index.

bid4vouchers.co.uk is a site that auctions store vouchers, with the winner typically winning a voucher at 75%-90% off face value.

Each bid cost money, which is how the site says it makes its money.

I discovered, for example, that of the last 7 auctions, the winner averaged 6 bids (max 13), for vouchers averaging just over £60 a time (max £150). If this is typical, it should be easy to pick up a bargain.

A reoccurring issue, is to change the a colour in an image to another, but retaining the color gradient. For example, changing a greyscale image to green, but the light greys change to light green, the dark grays to dark green. The image is greyscale because the black drawing is anti-aliased with varying shades of grey.

Corel Paintshop Pro includes the Color Replacer, which is supposed to do just this.

I run a small PHP script that uses $HTTP_HOST to return the current host URL name, usually "127.0.0.1". Today is stopped working. My suspicions are a new Microsoft Windows Update (KB951748), though I don't think it has fully installed yet.

The problem arises with PHP v4 on Apache 1.3 and Windows XP with Service Pack 3. The problem does not arise with PHP 5 with Apache 2.2.8.

The workaround is to change occurences of $HTTP_HOST to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
