Now I’m not throwing stones at anyone. I’m grateful to anyone trying to give me a few more braincells, but there is an answer to this question (or at least a personal answer).
A techie setting up a question paper!!
Do I mean Thunderbird, the wonderful, open source program?
Yip, unfortunately so. I even rebooted a few times just to make sure it wasn’t true. And it doesn’t make sense because your address book will still be there. Would Outlook Express ever do something like this?
Fortunately, there is a round about way of restoring everything. The worst mistake is to panic, uninstall or upgrade.
Here’s a typical lazy developer how-to.
Doesn’t looking at these instructions make you nauseous? Forgot to add, export your address book in the old profile, import it to the new one.
And why all these stupid things. One file called pref.js got corrupted. Silly stuff, which why it is encouraged to get mozbackup. If your prefs file ever gets corrupted you have a backup.
Did you know that a variable name like $$var does work in PHP? Picked this up by accident during some bugfixing. But there’s a catch.
Let’s take the following:
echo $$var;
$var has to have a value. Lets say that $var=’person’; So what the line is in effect saying is: echo $person;
It’s kinda of a principle that if things works in the worst case scenario, they will work in the best case scenario. For this reason, it is often better to adjust your PHP settings to the worst, as I learnt yesterday. The worst case scenario PHP test for me is as follows:
The solution of course lies in:
What else could there be… a PHP4 Script running on PHP5

Finally one that works as it ought to works and is obtrusive javascript. As I mentioned in a previous entry, it was quite a tough one to work out.
Well done Phil!
I’ve said it before …

Some people are getting ‘smarter’. They taking ‘sex consent forms/ with them. Wonder how much of these forms people carry around with them?
I’ve come across quite a few useful software recently – most of them software.
If you ever received an archive from an Apple Mac user, it would probably in .sit format. Do a Google search for an application, and everyone will recommend Stuff-It Expander, who will force you to sign up and send you an email once a week.
Absurd – you need to register to open a rare file format, and get unwanted emails from them. A better program is ExtractNow available at http://www.extractnow.com/.
Its small, free and supports the following formats: zip, rar, iso, bin, img, imz, ima, sit, jar
Two dislikes:
Other than that, it is quite a nifty tool to have installed for whenever.
Shockingly, this is first post for 2006! Can you believe three months already have passed in this year. So what has happened in this time:
This is exactly what the Israelis are doing, probably to the satisfaction and delight of some people. Just goes to show that Zionist disregard for the heritage of others and human rights knows no limits – sickening!

Is this controversial? Well, judging by ‘Letters to the Editor’ in Cape Town’s newspapers, there are some deeply offended people. How dare there be a moon and a star on their spiritual cake? Are the damn Muslims imposing themselves all over? Well, lets tackle the issue (not the person):
When it comes to foodstuff, Halaal refers to a ‘dietary standard’.
This dietary standard essentially says that no pork or alcohol was used in the preparation of the foodstuff. Theres a whole list of things that shouldn’t be used, but that will be going off the topic.
The question could then be asked, if a Heart Foundation sticker appears on your Christmas Cake, would you be offended? If not, why make an issue when the sticker of another dietary standard – whether Halaal, Kosher or Vegetarian (not sure if Hindus have a special name for theirs).
A product being Halaal and being declared Halaal.
Your Christmas cake can be Halaal if it is made without the forbidden ingredients. Having it declared Halaal is an additional test to verify and then publicly declare the product as Halaal. This provides consumer confidence as well as marketing. When in doubt, Muslims would shun certain businesses because they are not considering Muslim dietary needs.
So maybe it is Halaal, but why bother to declare it?
In short, easy market access. Whats the use you have a product but it does not have access to a certain market because of a verification process. The returns outweighs the investment. Many charities sell Halaal Christmas cake as a means of fundraising.
By removing certain ingredients, they instantly have access to a wider market. This is foresight, which if implemented, makes the product more accessible without affecting the quality of the product.
Why do Muslims go for Christmas Cake?
Do I have to be Muslim to eat Halaal products?
Do I have to be Jewish to eat Kosher products?
Will Halaal Products affect me spiritually?
Halaal products are not ‘jinxed’ – they are a dietary standard. Halaal products may however affect your outlook on food. If you choose to only go Halaal, it will keep you away from unhealthy intoxicants and their effects.
Lastly, though Halaal is a dietary standard, not all Halaal products are necessary healthy. Eat too much ‘Halaal’ sweets, you still risk getting diabetes.
