Afetr creating a new setupand adding a few files then pulling a full dump fr4om MySQL it was easy to see that inside the DB they were 12:30 ahead. Turned out that particular module contained inside a modified script that was done by a programmer in the New Delhi TZ which is UTC+5:30. I am UTC-6. A total of exactly 11:30 and forward across the dateline.-questorfla (January 27, 2015, 10:10 PM)
I can download and conduct a learning Q&A session.
I can disconnect from the Internet, and conduct the entire session disconnected.-bit (January 26, 2015, 07:00 PM)
But when I 'master' a 'section', although it allows me to return and repeat the mastered sections online, it 'rewards' me by giving me fewer questions, instead of the full original list of questions.-bit (January 26, 2015, 07:43 PM)
Um...there are some "business establishments" on the fringes of the 'hospitality' industry that will do just that for you. For a small fee of course.-40hz (January 26, 2015, 08:56 AM)
Survey data from Australia indicated legislation was a poor approach as it discouraged cycling—e.g. child cycle use fell 44% by the second year of the helmet law in New South Wales, Australia-The Article
I've found that if I cycle well, i.e. keep a very straight line, some drivers will pass dangerously close to me. So I tend to weave slightly to try and keep them more aware, and wary, of me. Not ideal, but I'm still here :-/-tomos (January 25, 2015, 11:04 AM)

Edit3: So far not so good. I installed in Portable Mode. Even after a reboot I get "Ice Dragon is already running but not responding." It doesn't show in Task Manager. Something is busted.-MilesAhead (January 22, 2015, 03:48 PM)
My experience with HP is to stick to the real business class products and you'll be fine. T'was a time when that was all they sold, so it was a no-brainer going with HP. The old Laserjets (II/3/4/5/81xx/85xx, etc.) were built like tanks and un-killable.-40hz (January 22, 2015, 02:21 PM)
And they were repairable (often even field repairable) if anything did go wrong.-40hz (January 22, 2015, 02:21 PM)
Then HP (of necessity) got into home/consumer-grade products...and the results are what we live with today.-40hz (January 22, 2015, 02:21 PM)

Add a little extra to the Mix.
If i upload a document created on the 20th, it shows that it has a date of the 22nd already. If i DOWNLOAD that same document back to the web-server, it shows the 21st which is correct. The only time it LOOKS wrong is when it is viewed through a browser on the website.-questorfla (January 21, 2015, 07:16 PM)
Also ad hoc networking is a topology. Ad hoc networking can be done in a number of ways. It's not dependent on specific hardware per se. And it doesn't need a wireless capability to make it work. You could do an ad hoc network with a crossover cable and two NICs. Or with multiple PCs, cables, and a dumb network hub or switch - no router required. That's how it used to be done before wifi came out.-40hz (January 21, 2015, 09:26 PM)

Using a wifi connection just makes it much more convenient.

I predict that the next cause for movie zombies will be malware. I think that a lot of people then will get a new antivirus system because of their fear of developing a hunger for brains.-Arizona Hot (January 21, 2015, 09:31 PM)
Makes for an Interesting wrinkle, once a 2nd (inactive) gateway gets introduced (IT hits the fan). Because it will either need a gateway-less static IP scheme, or a really low priority for the wireless adapters gateway to be sure they can get out to the web. Both of which either of us could probably do blindfolded...but neither is a great time for a novice. Not to mention if it ever required them to do any troubleshooting ...

actually not that hard as the tether doesn't need to be shared - we obviously only connect when we need it and the connection is direct to the PC in question, so not part of 'a network' at all-Target (January 20, 2015, 09:28 PM)

All the heavy lifting and dithering in the background that's needed to make your network stable and pleasant to work with is handled by the router.-40hz (January 20, 2015, 03:56 PM)

but there's a counterpoint to that in that we don't actually need a network, we only need to be able to connect to the printer.-Target (January 19, 2015, 06:26 PM)
That said I have been wondering about buying a wireless router so there would at least be some form of network
