Technology FAQ -- RFC

ZenSkin · 02-20-2004, 02:59 PM

Hey all,

I am asking for input on a FAQ for this forum specifically about technology issues.

So far I have these questons that have been sort of wrangled from all over the place :

YaHooka :
What's a web board anyway?
Who runs it?
When was it started?
How does it work?
What's the best browser?
The text is the wrong size, what do I do?
What are cookies and should I toss them?
I forgot my password, now what?
I keep seeing some error about smtp or something, what's up with that?
Why is it so slow (or not even here) sometimes?
Where is (insert cool feature), I've seen it on other sites.
I can't see images, what's wrong?
I can't attach a file, help!
What are BB tags? Can I use HTML on YaHooka?
Where can I get more emoticons? (and what is an emoticon anyway?)
This user is really bugging me, what should I do?

The Interent and World Wide Web :
What other marijuana sites are there?
What's this I hear about chat?
Who runs the Internet?
How does the World Wide Web Work?
What's Peer to Peer?
Alphabet soup, what are all these damn acronyms!?

Desktop problems :
Eek, I have a virus!
My computer is really slow, what's up?
My computer keeps crashi.....
How do I get rid of spyware?
Cable, Dialup, DSL, T1?
Is (insert program name) any good?

If anyone has some feedback, I'm all ears. If you think there should be more (or less) stuff, let me know. I've started working on this a little, but I want some more input.

Should there be a section on gaming? Should there be more on video/audio formats and players? What are some good external sites to link to that have the lastest on virusus, shareware, windows and mac tricks, etc.?

Thanks!

a few good sites

hardware:

software:
versiontracker.com
download.com

game sites:
gamerankings.com
gamefaqs.com
zophar.net (emulation portal for pc, for mac- emulation.net)

marijuana/drug sites:
erowid.org
cannabisnews.com

also maybe mention some of the more general sites like google, ebay and amazon. those are the search engines i typically use to find, well, stuff.

*rubs hands together*

Oooh .... links!

Much appreciation.

I gots to get that faq typed up. Still working on it.

krangs_androidbody · 03-20-2004, 12:13 PM

came across a site that might be helpful

http://filext.com/

it's a database of file extensions.

heres another good one

http://www.tinyurl.com

it makes little redirect pages, and is especially useful for those links with a lot of characters.

qaijinx · 03-24-2004, 08:49 AM

I've tried many browsers, firebird, IE, Opera and everything in between that all of them suck ass for diff reasons until I found one that works just right for me, I program as well so I have to have a powerful browser with allot of shit, I found this browser about 3 months ago and haven't gone back to anything else since.

A few links:
http://www.tomshardware.com/
my irc script
The best fucking audio player ever made fuck winamp wmp and everything else!
Another cool forum

I like to think of that page as spyware 101. It has links to everything you could possibly need from spyware prevention, removal and basic mechanics of spyware.

Is there a Technology FAQ's sticky somewhere? Would be a great resource for some of us less technically literate. Apologies if this a stupid question, but I havent tried the search function yet...but who does, right?

№1 · 05-13-2007, 01:31 PM

Yeah, who dropped the ball?

Weren't we supposed to have an FAQ section here?

Someone smoked a joint and it was all done, eh?
