    Suggestions for improving my PHP code

    I don't see anything in particular that would be cause for issues, I didn't run it at all though. Was there anything in particular you wanted people to look at? You could try using prepared statements for your sql queries if you're looking for something new to do...

    A+ recommended study guide?

    http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-...&qid=1255730246&sr=8-4 more of a book on the entirety of the exam than a small study guide, but it's pretty good, I have the version of the book for the older test, passed it no problem although the test isn't exactly difficult.

    Wind Shield Problems

    My windshield has an issue where any wiper blades will REALLY drag along the surface and not work smoothly at all, it's not the blades I've tried different blades. I've tried rainx multiple times on it and it has not helped any, short of replacing the windshield is there anything I can do?

    Computer related complaints I'm tired of hearing

    One of my favorites is "The cursor is just jumping all over and has a mind of it's own! The computers broken I want a new one!". This complaint comes from people with laptops all the time, people have their palms resting on the mouse touch pad causing the mouse to move and click as they...

    Qwest Actiontec M1000 Won't Reset to Defaults

    I've been using cable for years but qwest dsl launched very nice new contract free offers so I decided to give it a try. So I got the actiontec m1000 modem/router from qwest. I wanted to use it purely as a modem and then use my own router so I set it up using bridged mode and put in my login...

    Slow idle after stopping

    This is probably unrelated but about 6 months ago I replaced the ignition coils on the car due to the CEL coming on and reporting multiple cylinder misfire(also very noticeable without the light!) That solved that issue and I haven't had any issues with it since. Just recently I started...

    Anyone else love the new apple keyboard?

    I bought one a while back because I tried it out in a store and really liked it. I don't have any apple computers that I currently use, however the keyboard works really well, the keys have a little more space between them which seems to help a lot for type speed.(not as easy to hit two keys)...

    Question for IT workers out there

    If they don't want you using gmail wouldn't you be told or more likely wouldn't they block it? Intercepting communication with it seems like a waste of time to me. Still if it's something you don't want your employer to see, always better not to do it while working....

    Coolant level is fine, mileage is 88k. I've had the car for 4 years, the heat has never been very good in very cold weather it seems to have gotten progressively worse, coolant was flushed about a year ago.

    Weak Heat in subzero weather - 01 Mazda Protege ES

    I have a 01 Mazda Protege with the 2 liter engine and the heat will work fine if it's 20-30 degree outside, but when it gets to zero(which is often here in MN :) ) and below outside the heat in the car never really seems to get above blowing 50ish degree air out even after an hour of highway...

    Energy cost of Christmas lights

    That's pretty much a perfect description, don't think I could have possibly put it better. Oh add, end of semester/winter break for those in college, and time off work for Christmas day itself. :)

    Poll: Pick my new laptop

    No Dell or Lenovo? They are both far better than HP/Compaq or Toshiba if you ask me... Oh yeah, why do you want a 17" laptop? Do you plan on bringing it anywhere with you?
