So who are these email hosts who are using this company? I’m glad I found your post. I thought, “Well if $20 will help get my newsletter out to more of the subscribers, it’s worth it.” But, you’re right, this is extortion. I’m also very careful to comply with CAN-SPAM and don’t send newsletters to anyone who hasn’t signed up, that’s not to say people don’t get lazy and mark us as spam rather than clicking the “unsubscribe” link when they are no longer interested in getting the newsletter.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Zane

What the code in this post does (and use the code in my comment below — not that in the post as it is more efficient) is to tell a client that requests http://example.com/index.php that it should really request http://example.com/ from the web-server. The web-server will still return the content of index.php as this is the configured default file to return.

Usually a web-server will only return a listing of the files in a directory if there is no default document configured, however, I also thing it is a good practise to implicitly turn off directory listings on public web-servers. In Apache you do this with the Options -Indexes statement in .htaccess (or the server configuration file). For more information on this, you can checkout the section on the Options statement on the Apache Documentation website.

The process of ensuring that each bit of content on your website is accessed through a singe, unique URL is called URL Canonicalization, and it is considered to be an important basic SEO technique.

If there is an index.html or index.htm or a variant of these files inside of the directory, the web server won’t let you browse through directories. If I redirect “/index.html” to “/”, will this allow browsing of my website because it no longer has a page titled “/index.html” or does the page it is redirected to http://www.sample.com/ still serve as the index page? In other words, will this open my directories up for everyone to view or are they still safe?

I have had Optik tv since um Early Nov of 2009. The menu/guild on the Cisco 430 PVR Boxes is far Superior to what shaw currently has. Tho I have not seen there boxes, I did have old older HD 6200 I think and I had nothing but problems. I could not run HDMI from shaw box to my bran new LG 42 inch HD tv. As there some kinda handshaking error and screen would blink on and off. I tried to inform shaw but they just make excuse and say was my HDMI cable. Even tho my ps3 runs fine and if I switched hdmi cable. I got same results. shaw hd box did not work on very well with HDMI.

The good:

Telus PVR box is years ahead shaw
-Fast channel change/surf
-Much better menu/guild
- anything recorded can be watch on any telus boxs
-Get more channels then what u get with shaw cable.
-Faster upload speeds then shaw.
-You can watch HD channels on normal SD tv..
-Picture quality on HD channel when on SD tv using S-video is decent.
-Works best if use CAT 5 eithernet.
-internet speed is about same I’d say.. I haven’t really notice that much of difference but i don’t do a lot downloading.

The cons:
-picture quality on SD channels is very bad
-Picture quality on HD channels is very soft/pixialed
There quality is no where near what Sat or cable gives and seems be getting worst with each month.. HD channels that have fast moving picture or water seem be very very pixailed like there using too much compression. blocky artifacts are common on SD and HD channels too.
-Sound on ALL HD and SD channels goes up and down like crazy.
-Dolby Digital is also has up/down issues at time..
The remote as has nice feel. but You have to point it right at the box. A bit of pain.
They still haven updated to version 2.0. I’v hurd rumors
that when move beond currently 1.6? ver Version 2.0 I hear is suppose be really good, but only time will tell.
This system is much better then shaw.. I was paying $160-$170 a month for most HD channel and SD channels and $20 a month to rent the crapy HD box. Not even PVR.

Currently I’m getting 2 Boxes no extra cost. but I never signed any contract nor did agree any verbal contract. But I am only paying about $130 a month.. The PVR is solid. Menu/guild fast surf channels. PVR recoding has few issues. Sometime you’ll get double shows, Sometime it don’t record properly, but has only happens few times. ALL PVRs seem have few record issues..
If you wire these via eithernet. You’ll should have no issues..
yes its bit of pain, but it is the best way to go.
If they fix the sound issues, fix the HD and SD channels so they not so badly compressed Id be happy. but for now its is better, but these minor issues are starting to annoying me.. It’s why I have 42 inch HD tv and Surrounded system. I love the PVR box as I wish I could just hook this up to shaw cable and id be happy.
Hopefully the system updates soon and gets better.
