What's the best FTP server for large files?	1
Which server is fastest and easiest to use?
In: Tech.Software Asked by: EricC - 11 Hours Ago. Viewed 5 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: EricC - 10 Hours Ago. For large files, you'll want the RESTART (REST) feature. That rules out the one included in IIS for Windows. I tried many FTP servers, and found Cerebus FTP to be the best: http://www.cerberusftp.com/download.htm Here's what else I learned: * Core FTP is Java, so it keeps a Command Window open. It's okay for small files, but times out for large files when trying REST. * Filezilla server won't even connect... gives an MTDM failure. (Then again, it's only Beta) * Fastream IQ FTP Server forces you to install the server and Admin GUI separately. IT works okay for small files too. When interrupted, the REST failed to work on large files. * Cerebus started and connected flawlessly. With intentional disconnection, the REST worked flawlessly, even on large files.

How big can a windshield chip be and still be repaired?	1
I have a small chip in my windshield but they want to replace the whole thing.
In: Tech.Automotive Asked by: imisd - 4 Days Ago. Viewed 12 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Doug - 4 Days Ago. The chip should be repaired as long as it is roughly smaller than a quarter. It shouldn't cost you more than $100 for the repair. Some insurance covers chip repairs without any deductable or increase in premium. If the crack is larger than that, the windshield should be replaced. Then it will cost $600 to $1000. You can also repair it yourself for $10. Buy the Bullseye Windshield Repair Kit or equivalent.
Is it bad coding practice to have many deeply nested IF statements?	1
What's the alternative?
In: Tech.Info-Tech Asked by: Andrew P - 4 Days Ago. Viewed 15 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Andrew P - 4 Days Ago. Deeply-nested IF statements can become hard to read, especially on the ELSE side. if ( file exists ) if ( file empty) if ( file is XML ) process XML else Log "NOT XML" else Log "File Empty" else Log "File Doesn't Exist" Good coding practice is simple and efficient. So this is MUCH better. if ( file NOT exists ) Log "File Doesn't Exist" else if ( file empty) Log "File Empty" else if ( file is XML ) process XML else Log "NOT XML"

Why NaCl is used to clear snow from roads?	1

In: Help.School Work Asked by: dragonball - 4 Days Ago. Viewed 6 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: sherwin - 4 Days Ago. The melting point of water with salt solution is lower, so the roads are less likely to be icy. Ice is bad because it causes cars to lose control. And people to slip and fall.
How do I get fast relief from seasonal allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes?	2
Eye drops or pills?
In: Health.Allergies Asked by: Christine - 6 Days Ago. Viewed 17 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Neil W - 6 Days Ago. The best remedy is prevention. Staying indoors, and getting a whole-house HEPA filter would be the ultimate fix. Because the less you get allergic the better you will be able to handle the outdoors. When your face is hot, itchy and irritated, the best thing to feel better is to keep you head cool. Cold towel, ice water, etc all help. Get lots of rest. When you're tired, your symptoms are worsened. Finally, drugs that will help include Reactine and Claritin. Nasal sprays are not recommended.

How do these Liberals like Jon Stewart get a TV show like the Daily Show?	1

In: Fun.TV Shows Asked by: r56 - 1 Week Ago. Viewed 11 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Doug - 1 Week Ago. How the rightwing conservative nutcases get all that air-time on TV still amazes me. * Glenn Beck on CNN, who says Malibu wild fires victims hate America. WTF? * Bill O'reilly. "I just wish Katrina had only hit the United Nations building, nothing else, just had flooded them out, and I wouldn't have rescued them." * Rush Limbaugh, who accused Michael J. Fox of exaggerating the effects of his disease, "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act." * The only thing common between all these people is they're rich. And they cancel Phil Donohue for being too liberal?
