    Moving Wordpress fom Windows to Linux

    How and where are the rules for the inclusion of index.php defined on the Windows server? If you change the permalinks in the WP admin panel it won't include "index.php" by default, it has to be specified. What is the reason to keep the "index.php" in the URL. On a unix server this really is...

    Legal way to hire people of specific gender?

    I was thinking: what if I want to start a company that creates websites. Usually these type of companies are male-heavy (is this the correct word?). I believe current ratio is around 1 out of 10 developers is female if you're lucky, in most countries. I can understand some companies (who's...

It's a bit comparable to a Dove commercial. Most (if not all)...

    DPA questions - how long to store customer/employment data

    I'm looking into the Data Protection Act 1998, getting familiar with to prevent major surprises later along the road. Having data of my customers (delivery address, surveys etc) and the people that work in my company (contractors, employees, interns, volunteers etc) is crucial but then the next...

    Best Anti Virus Software?

    I've tried Avira, Avast, Nod32 (Eset), Trendmicro, AVG in the past I didn't like Avira because of their advertisement popups. I used Trendmicro many years ago. Seemed to be heavy on the system. When it comes to free AV's, AVG seemed good but my preference goes to Avast. Especially since...

    Buy Facebook fans

    If their prices are reasonable and you can afford to test it, by all means go ahead. I'd like to give my thoughts on your 100k new people who may become aware of Coolfans. In theory 100.000 new people would become aware of Coolfans, if every friend of your fan sees their 'like'. I think...
