Comment on URL/redirect rules for WordPress and MediaWiki together (Part 1) by Andrew Armstrong

Afraid not, after I tried all that stuff and some more afterwards, I’ve not had time to go back to it, but Part 2 might appear some day.

If you have any luck give me a shout. If you have access to apache’s settings, you can make it so htaccess files only execute for their directory or something (at the very least, so a subdomain can work with only it’s own htaccess file), which should solve it. Sadly I can’t do this on my host.

Don’t start this coversation you young pups. Not when your elders are present. My Apple IIc had 128k… and we LIKED it!

Yeah, I used to play on older computers too (going back to an IBM machine for classic Doom, SimCity 2000, etc.). This just struck me as bad for playing anything that required a 3d graphics card. It was a major breath of fresh air getting a new PC after it, games at the time were getting beyond it’s meagre specs. That set of specs is likely just before my Windows 98, Voodoo 2 box (came with G-Police, yeah!)

As for Windows 2000; was what came with the PC, XP wasn’t out (or at least usable, remember pre-SP1?) at the time!

I still would use 2000 if they hadn’t stopped updating it. XP adds on a lot of cruft, but once tuned, acts similarly to the sleeker 2000 ways (although on the UI side, I did lament not having “Lock Toolbar”, heh). All the games worked on it too, since XP was very new at the time.

That is all fine and good, but Windows 2000?!
