  The warranty expired? Are sure? It should be covered by the 3 year warranty on the red ring of death. And when was the last time Microsoft mailed one to you?

  Xbox 360 repair, pre-paid shipping box still available?

  From what i can see around June the 9th i think. They do have my address on file too, but i would of though there would be some request link to send it. Considering they give you other options too.

  How, in javascript/jquery, can I change what "this" refers to in an event handling function?

  By using the call and apply prototype methods of Functions. For example: function example () { console.log(this); } example.call(window); this will be the window variable. example.call(‘a string’); this will be a string. Call and apply are similar to each other, they both call the function and change the scope (the “this” variable) of the function, but where they are different is that apply takes an array of parameters to push onto the function, while call takes extra arguments, for example function testing (var1, var2) { console.log(‘var1: %o var2: %o’, var1, var2); } testing.apply(window, [‘parameter 1’, ‘parameter 2’]); will log “var1: parameter 1 var2: parameter 2”, to do the same with call, would be similar to this: testing.call(window, ‘parameter 1’, ‘parameter 2’); Hope this helps. If you need any more help with this, feel free to just ask.

  Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't use HTML newsletters?

  HTML emails are pretty hard to get working correctly. HTML support in Email clients is roughly equivalent to like the web in 1997. There are a few good ones out there, but its the minority. If you have to make HTML emails, remember, using Tables is the right thing todo, unlike in web design. Also keeping CSS to a minimum would be a good idea. Then you have the fun time of trying to test them in all the popular email clients such as: Outlook (similar rendering to IE5), Thunderbird (most Gecko features obviously), Mail.app (most Webkit features) and such, then you have to try it on web based email clients such as Gmail, Yahoo, MobileMe, Hotmail and such. Most web mail clients remove the HTML completely. Some just completely butcher it. If you keep designs down to a minimum it isnt too hard, but doing crazy stuff requires a lot of patients and time.
