Ever downloaded a nice movie from the internet (Bad you), or didn't correctly synchronize your audio and video when creating your own family video's? Personally, I think there is nothing more annoying than a video where the audio is behind, even if it is for one second.

Saving or printing a list with the content of a folder in Windows can be tricky, but it's not impossible. You can do it the "old and fasion" way by typing every filename in a seperate document, but that'll take lots of time. Faster is it, when you select a file, press "F2" (Rename), than "Ctrl+C" (Copy) and "Ctrl+V" (Paste) it in another document. Although this method is faster than the first one, it takes a whole lot of time which you can spend better.
Of course you can buy small programs that'll do this trick for you, but why spend money on something you can do on your own for free? Here's a nice little "how to" on creating folder content lists like these:

This way you'll only hear what you want to hear.
Do you want to ban people from your website? Of course you can code this in PHP, but the most efficient way to do it, is to put it in the .htaccess file of your host. This way, you can also disable hotlinking of images or other files that are hosted on your website.
Keep your website yours, don't let it be taken over by useless spammers, bots and other annoying people.
Be careful when banning entire ranges of IPs, as you may also be blocking legitimate traffic!
User IP Ban
Valid entries:
IP-addresses should have this format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
, where "xxx" is a number between 0 and 255. In the .htaccess files you can specify a certain IP from your site, but you can also block full ranges. Examples:
