Google turns up many advertisements, but I thought I'd go to the source:

Aside from burning and ripping, is there a way to convert an m4p (from iTMS) to an mp3 and retain the tag info?

Mac app preferred, but not a deal breaker if it's Windows based.

Thanks!

A client of mine has requested an html email template to be used in Outlook. I'm almost positive this can be done, because I used to do them for clients at my last workplace. Problem is I never actually did the set up portion in Outlook.

I use Thunderbird so I can't really mess around with it that way, and google has failed me. I seem to only find how-to's on inserting a single picture or link. Rar.

Okay, there's my problem. Does anybody here know a link to a tutorial or can explain to me how you can set a template from a pre-existing html document?

thanks!

This is not really PHP related but I know you're all smart and someone will be able to help. :) It's to do with .htaccess and rewrite rules and stuff..

I've got a website with a page structure like this:
/page.php?p=page_name_here

I want the urls to be this:
/page/page_name_here

It has a category structure like this:
/cat.php?c=1

I want the urls to be this:
/category/1

A friend suggested:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/([A-z0-9-_]*)/$ page.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/([0-9]*)/?$ cat.php?c=$1 [QSA,L]
..but it's just giving me Internal Server Errors. Any suggestions? I've googled like mad but can't see what's wrong.

Resolved. Used this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ page.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ cat.php?c=$1 [QSA,L]

Google seems to have developed a habit of introducing new services and then withdrawing them due to high demand and reintroducing them selectively later. Google Web Accelerator, Google Analytics and now Google Pages, all follow this overused pattern. So it is with (now withdrawn) Google Pages.

Google has newly introduced Google Pages which allows you to create your webpages with AJAX interface (Web 2.0?) . It is quite a slick product, provides 100MB of space, file uploading etc. However it also exposes your GMail email address (which it requires for signup) to be harvested by spammers.

Howdy! Does anyone have any idea how Google indexes images for their Image search? I have an artist client who would like her paintings to come up under 'Images' as well as the Web search, but I can't seemt o find any info on how to do this.

Alt-tagging seems to have no effect and - judging by the images that come up when I image-google my own site - they're not catalogued that often anyway (the image is about six months old). The criteria for listing an image seem to be completely abitrary, but maybe there's something I don't know?

Hey!

I would like to make http://freekat.com/ an option for the search bar, in fact, I'd like to make it default to replace Google. I don't know how to edit the search.ini file, meaning I don't know what to replace with what. I know there are some useless search engines in there that I could replace, but I don't know the specifics of what to put in. Does anyone here know how I can do this?

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way is a web site I find very informative and I thought I would share it with the group. Everyone should read this website from top to bottom before ever posting on any forum (technical or not), before dashing off a emails, or bothering someone by IM.

Here is example of the wonderful wisdom imparted by this website:

There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply that reads “RTFM”, the person who sent it thinks you should have Read The Fucking Manual. He or she is almost certainly right. Go read it.

RTFM has a younger relative. If you get a reply that reads “STFW”, the person who sent it thinks you should have Searched The Fucking Web. He or she is almost certainly right. Go search it. (The milder version of this is when you are told “Google is your friend!”)

In Web forums, you may also be told to search the forum archives. In fact, someone may even be so kind as to provide a pointer to the previous thread where this problem was solved. But do not rely on this consideration; do your archive-searching before asking.

Often, the person telling you to do a search has the manual or the web page with the information you need open, and is looking at it as he or she types. These replies mean that he thinks (a) the information you need is easy to find, and (b) you will learn more if you seek out the information than if you have it spoon-fed to you.

You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, your respondent is showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You should instead be thankful for this grandmotherly kindness.

This website should be a primmer and required for anyone using the intarwebs! Don't Thank me, just RTFA!

Nowadays I see irrelevant Google AdSense ads much more than usual and they are often pretty outrageous. Here is a glaring example (click on image for larger view): I think it is trying to over-optimize or simply running out of ads. Not even a single relevant ad!

So I actually have questions along the lines of my cable modem. It's a Scientific Atlanta WebStar (BrightHosue service), and after looking into some research on my Cable box (to TV) I just decided to google my modem as well, and saw a few forums that mentioned uncapping. Now, I got the jist of what it is... I think. In a nutshell, it's deleting/enlarging the restrictions of the modem, right?

I don't want to know how to do this, as I think it's illegal. But why would it be illegal? Someone 'stealing' bandwidth? Has anyone ever done this? Guess I'm just curious about it. Thanks.

Hey guys. I've taken up a project to help out the family of a missing person in North Carolina. I'm researching some cheap web hosting plans for them.. something they could pay monthly.. and was just wondering if any of you had ever purchased a plan like that before. I don't want them to have to pay a ton of money for this, but I don't have the space for them on my own host either. Been looking around on Google, but wanted to hear some personal experiences/recommendations if they are any.

Thanks!
