justabloke I don't wish to be pedantic. But, hotmail. gmail, aim and yahoo are not email clients, they are webmail, which means you log onto a server with the ues of a web browser one reads/deletes/writes email. An email client like OE, Firebird and Outlook run a...

How to use your IRS Rebate check

deebomb @deebomb (15304) • United States 28 Apr 08

A good friend sent this to me and it gave me a good laugh but at the same time it is so true. I knew that eventually some one would come with an idea that is dear to my heart! As you may have heard, the Administration...

justabloke What is even more ironic is that (from what I understand) that the money for this stimulus is being paid for with loans from China and/or Saudi Arabia!

tjades @tjades (3591) • Jamaica 28 Apr 08

justabloke Down here in the Southern US we say "hey", but, on the streets of London, where I grew up we simply said "right", short for "alright"!! In Korean they say "ahn young", which seems to be hello and goodbye.

justabloke It's hard to blame anyone individually for the high oil prices, as one of the legitimate reasons is that the supply of "easy to drill" oil is on the decrease. Saying that, I think the Bush administration has to shoulder a lot of the responsibility for getting...

subdomains and parked doamins, what's the difference

nubsnovets @nubsnovets (72) • United States 10 Mar 08

While sorting through web hosts, some offer parked domains and some don't. What is the difference between parked domains and subdomains? If parked domains are not allowed does that mean I can't have an affiliates' link on my web...

justabloke I think you'll find that "parked" domains are where you buy a website name/domain and do not do anything with it. When someone accese the web page, it'll say a simple message, like "under construction". A "sub-domain" is where you take a domain name, like...

justabloke I think it another good think to happen to English football. With Spurs winning the LC and now neither of the top team Prem teams left in the FAC, it could end up with 3 different teams winning the major English trophies.

Democrats want a $3,500,000,000,000 tax increase. Yup, that's trillion!
