Why are these websites blocked?

Several major websites in China have recently become inaccessible from BT (but not from other networks). E.g.
news.baidu.com
tv.sohu.com
Why is this?
Thanks in advance.

F14, F15, F16 -- why are these keys on my Mac Keyboard ?

*** !!
Why are these keys added to my Macintosh Keyboard [circa September 2006] if the **** operating system won't allow us to use them ?
What the **** Apple ??

My 5+ year old keyboard has the F13 F14 F15 keys sitting all by their lonesome above the help, home, page up block of keys, and I set them to do the three Expose functions, so the system will use them (at least if you have the right hack). All the F keys used to be handier though, back in the OS 9 days, when I assigned them to do all sort of things.

Why are some websites, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the BNY Mellon website, denying access to users running Firefox versions newer than 3.6?

Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?
The following information was displayed in regards to this issue -

The majority of our users are using these modern browsers, so we can present content which is optimized for them. "

That is a question for those websites to answer. Firefox 4.0 was released almost 4 months ago, IMO more than enough time for those 2 websites to verify that Firefox 4 & 5 are compliant with W3C standards.
To be able to access that FAFSA website, my advice is to install the Portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to your hard drive. It won't affect your other Firefox installation. <br />

Why are these Webservices not supported in VC ?

Hi all,
I am using NW04s SP9, and I plan to make MDM-Application with VC.
Therefore I introduced MDM-WebService into NW and defined it on VC.
but "searchRecords" of "MDMSearchRecords" was displayed with "Not supported"
in the right frame .
Mmm...
So I decided to think from a beginning.
[http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl|http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl]
I defined above it on VC and I used "Getholidaydate" .
Good! .
However,,, "Getholidaysforyear" was also "Not supported".
Why are these methods "Not supported" ? .
and how will come to be usable these methods in VC? .
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
k.sugimoto.

Why are these words not acceptable?

Following up from another question regarding the frustrating password validation, you answered back that these following words were not acceptable in one's password:
1234
4321
qwert
test
skype
myspace
password
abc123
123abc
abcdef
iloveyou
letmein
ebay
paypal
I understand that it'd be a problem if someone used one of those alone without any prefix or suffix with it, but WHY are you blocking it altogether? Why not allow it at least in middle of a cryptic word, like !@#$skype**&& , or ()()skype<><> ?
It seems your password validation rules just check for an occurance of those words (some of which are questionable as to why it's blocked in the first place) anywhere in the string.
Why are you making it hard for your users to come up with a password they can remember?Pretty much every other services (gmail, facebook, twitter, etc.) are equally as important and used (if not more important/used than Skype, on a daily basis) and don't enforce as much password rules and blocked words.
It would be nice to see Skype go in the direction of 2-step verification like Gmail has.
Use a simple password, bind a Cell-Phone number to it, get your temporary code via txt-message (if it's your first time on that computer / non-cached in browser), Simple!

SnippetPreview$.htm - Why are these not being deleted?

I have the following files in my project folder:
SnippetPreview$.htm
SnippetPreview1$.htm
SnippetPreview2$.htm
SnippetPreview3$.htm
SnippetPreview4$.htm
I noticed them because they are not in Visual SourceSafe so they appear when I go to add files to VSS when I create new snippets. They contain the text of snippets I've created.
I know they are harmless, but why are they not being automatically deleted from RH when no longer needed?
Is this a setting or preference I can set?

Sometimes temporary files are left behind. These are just files created on previewing a snippet and like any other temporary files are not deleted. Just delete them.

Why are these protected- finalize() & clone()

Why are the methods finalize() and clone() declared as protected in Object class when any class that we write extends java.lang.Object? I mean what design considerations made them being declared as protected?

Object.clone() is protected so that it cannot be called unless the person writing the code intends it to be cloned.
In other words to make a class cloneable one must over-ride Object.clone() with a public method that does the cloning. In this way the method can only be called if an implementation of the mehtod has been coded.
Convinced this is poorly explained so reply if you don't get it!
Cheers,

Why are there white blocks on my website?

Hello guys!
I have been creating a site for an aviation thing, and after I got the site ready and uploaded onto the hosting, white blocks are near the slices. Any ideas? In dreamweaver, it shows up perfectly fine.

Please respond ASAP
Cheers!

Your link takes me to a BC login page, but from your post it's likely that you have committed the first deadly sin of web development: using a graphics application to create your HTML. Your symptoms perfectly match what is expected to happen when you take a cumbersome table layout that is only intended for use in controlled demonstrations or presentations, and try to use it on the web. What is happening is that your table with its many colspans and rowspans (merged and split cells) is not able to respond properly to different browsers and different viewport widths and different character face sizes. One should use graphic apps to make graphics, and use DW to build your HTML. Here are some informative and interesting articles about this -

Why are most websites only displaying code like text?

Almost all of the web sites that I frequent have began displaying code like text on a blank white background. Some sites still have hyperlinks and images here and there with random text, but others are fully blank with what appears to be the code of the website showing. I wasn't able to access this web site until I tried multiple times and it magically worked, but others are still not working. The only sites that I have tested that have worked from the start are Google related sites (Gmail, Google, Youtube). My yahoo email is inaccessible, which is an important email for me and all other sites that i frequent are inaccessible. One major thing to note is that the sites are also inaccessible on Internet Explorer. This would typically lead you to believe that the problem lies with your connection in some way. I have reset my router/modem and it had no effect. I also have ran CCleaner and have deleted temp files, cookies, and caches. I have tried running Mozilla in safe mode with add-ons disabled as well. My malware protection and antivirus protection find no issues after completing full scans. One last thing to note is that, on both Firefox and IE, certain sites allow to me to access the homepage, such as yahoo, but once I attempt to check my mail the random display of code appears. On IE it simply says that the site cannot be displayed once I click to check my mail. Gmail works perfect on the other hand. The only things that I have done during this time are:
Setup a LogMeIn account (Hamachi) and connected my PC to their service
Downloaded and began using Malewarebytes software to remove malware that I had picked up
Other than those two things it has been the same usual actions on my PC. Could the malware that I had still be effecting me somehow even though it was found/deleted? Is my router to blame even though resetting it does not help? After all the things I have tried, what could it be?

What is the content type of those pages if you check that via Tools > Page Info > General?
Is that text/html as it should be or text/plain as your screenshot would suggest?
You can also check the Net log via the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K)
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Web_Console
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Web_Console
This can be a problem with your firewall that modifies the server response headers if the settings in Firefox are correct.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

Why are these files showing? and how do i get rid/hide them?

can anyone tell me a fix to hide these greyed/faded out files and folders? they are littered around EVERYWHERE on my mac, even in my external hard drive. Also, why is there a file called .DS_Store on my desktop? i've tried putting it in the trash and emptying it but it just appears again! thanks in advance.

1. Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.
2. To store the metadata associated with items on the desktop.

Stumped in a space invader tutorial: why are these code for?

EDIT: Hi thanks to those who viewed my post and attempted to help. I found the answer, it's called double buffering.
Anyway if you guys want to make additional infos or add something feel free to do so. Because I don't fully understand what's going on. (like what kind of graphic does getGraphics() return?)
Thanks again!

          Invaders inv = new Invaders();
          inv.game();
}I tried reading the Java API but I don't get what it's saying for these:
buffer = new BufferedImage(WIDTH,HEIGHT,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); //what is the meaning of TYPE_INT_RGB?
ventana.setIgnoreRepaint(true); //why ignore repaint?
public void paintWorld() {
Graphics g = buffer.getGraphics();
g.setColor(getBackground());
g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
g.drawImage(getSprite("bicho.gif"), posX, posY,this);
getGraphics().drawImage(buffer,0,0,this); //why add this line?
}and lastly:
      public void game() {
        while (isVisible()) {
         updateWorld();
         paintWorld();
         paint(getGraphics()); //why call paint here?
         try {
            Thread.sleep(SPEED);
         } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
     }I understand the rest of the code, it's just the parts that I've mentoined that I can't really understand.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! :)

Why are the websites all messed up?

Hello. I don't know how to explain this. But a few months ago, all the websites I load on Firefox were fine. But its been a month that all the websites are like messed up. The thing is that if I want to login to Yahoo Mail, the login bar and the password bar is tiny. And even if I type anything, it won't show what I am typing. I don't know what is wrong. IE won't even open the whole website and Chrome is also messed up.

If this is happening on Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, then it seems like it might be an issue on your computer itself.
However, you can try doing a few things. Read [[How to clear the cache]], also, [[Websites look wrong]]. These two websites may be of some assistance.
You can also Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Why are these websites blocked?
