A fresh installation of Windows with all its updates and tweaks run's fantastic for most people. Then, we start throwing gunk into the system, including antivirus programs, firewalls, etc. and all the garbage we collect from the slumasphere: the dreggs of the public internet.
It is possible to run a faster, cleaner PC. It's also possible to keep it that way, even if you're not a computer genius. Just a few commercial tools and a little planning will make it an easy process - and your PC much more useful for much longer.

Alexandria's first real php script. I really wrote this one all by myself and I'm only ten, thanks to my dad who works with computers for a living. He is teaching me all the things that he knows, and he said that if I learn how to work on computers like he does he'll get me my very own labtop!! :)
I wish that my sister Victoria's bird would shut-up! I think I'm going to save money to buy it a shock coller because it's sceaming hurts my ears.
Now I'm going to test variables.

INFO: Simple, fast, straightforward... and a dash of JasonN blunt opinions.
Ever since 1997, I've been giving people the straight dope on PCs and internet technologies. I didn't come to tech as an Information Systems engineer, or via tradeschool, college, even a career choice. I got here selling stuff, very non-tech stuff at that. I first noticed the internet as a commercial opportunity in 1994, then in 1997, someone talked me into starting an ISP (Internet Service Provider). I was young, and learned fast. The rest of the 90s was a fast track conversion to hybrid businessman / tech geek. You may call me guru if you wish :)

Debugging PHP is an increasingly important process for web developers and PHP coders alike. Typically, PHP is used for web applications. And, you will find I almost exclusively deal with such issues on JasonN.com.
Here's a few links to php information.
Gubed PHP is a free Debugger PHP version 4.X and later,
http://gubed.sf.net. XDebug, http://www.xdebug.org is also a free debugger. XDebug has a tutorial. Commercial tools:
PHP has an internal debugger. The debugger functions by connecting to a TCP port for each PHP instance. Various IDEs and editing tools connect to this debugger to print reports.
This is an extremely simplistic topic, but many people get stuck building their site, or one for someone else, and suddenly find this silly little file is fairly important to some people. Most annoying to me is that if I don't create a favicon.ico for each and every website I put up, I get logs of 404 errors, or a failure to find the file. Web browsers ask for this file, it seems every time they request any content from a website. It's the icon, or the small graphic that shows up in your saved favorites to mark or brand a site. It also shows up left of the URL in the address bar. It's a small and relatively insignificant image, but helps brand your site.

Brands are mostly meaningless in today's market. The chance the company that slapped its label on the device actually participated in any way with its manufacturing is very small. One day I'll buy brand X and it's awesome. The next, it's garbage. And, I can't see any manner of trusted prediction.
The tech market is totally commoditized.
