Multiple WWW
by Erick Njenga 30 Oct '10

Hi Skunks. I'm just curious as to how you can use multiple WWW portions of the url to access sites like facebook e.g. http://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.… <http://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.…>works the same as: http://www.facebook.com/ but the same doesn't apply to other websites. -- Thanks and Regards, Erick Njenga Nyachwaya, M: +254-725-008-790 <http://www.facebook.com/ErickNjenga> <http://www.twitter.com/ErickNjenga>

Re: [Skunkworks] Pc Specs and help please?
by Watchman 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

So, I've been so overly immersed in the Mac world that .. i'm now Ignorant.. and that's not a good thing. Someone asked me whether this would be a good PC. Dell, 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, 160GB HD. With a 19" TFT. @ 30K. Windows 7. and i said.. urrrmmmm.. So i checked up on it. I can't find something on a similar spec list let alone something that runs Win 7 at that spec level.. am i not looking correctly for it? and if someone does know whether this is correct, and possible, is the price right? i'd like to give Sound Advice. and would appreciate the help. Watchman. -- ...and I shall shed my light over dark evil. For the dark things cannot stand the light.
