  How can I get Apache to accept a domain with an umlaut in a virtual host?

  In case anyone was following this or finds it through google, etc, the problem was how I wrote the domain name in the virtual host. I needed to use ‘Puny Encoding’ – https://portal.ascio.com/idnconvert/idnconvert.aspx

  Get debt free?

  I don’t know how those companies work, but you can end up paying less than you owe just to clear the debt. It wasn’t through one of those companies but my mum struck a couple of deals with her credit card companies and managed to pay £2000 worth of debt with £900 (this was an unusual circumstance, mind you, but the point is, deals can be made)

  How can I speed a clip up to somewhere around 65x its original speed on a Mac?

  Final Cut Express will do it, but I guess you don’t want to spend $200 just to speed a clip up.

  Given the fact that 15 years ago I still played on my zx spectrum and now I play xbox360 on a hd projector with surround sound, what do you think we will be playing in 15 years time, or what will be the next big technological advance?

  I think it’s all heading towards more and more interaction and emotion. Using motion for control, even more ‘movie like’ games, better quality, etc. Also, games seem to be becoming more and more community-focused (hardly any games don’t have online multiplayer of some sort any more), so I can only see that becoming more and more prevalent. I’d love a matrix-esq body plugin thing (but not as painful or ugly looking as it was in the matrix) and to actually be in the game. That’d be amazing!

  What do you all think about DLC (downloadable content) in games?

  It depends on the game and the content for me. If I buy software for my computer (often at the same price as a chart game) and they release an update which adds a couple of new features and maybe a new theme or two (since it’s easy to compare to getting new costumes and the likes in games), I’d expect to get that update for free. If the update was a considerable re-write or added a lot of new features or improvements, then I’d be willing to pay. I think that, if a couple of the big games developers started to work on this mantra and give small updates such as costumes and the likes for free, others might step in line. I mean, really, charging for a theme or costume is absolutely ridiculous. It seems that only because they all offer it for $$, that they all offer it for $$. Also, I think it plays on the fact that a large proportion of the games market is young kids.. It’s harder to sell small upgrades to mature adults.
