Bring lost window to main monitor

Q. I've opened my application on a computer hooked up to 2 monitors, when I uplugged one of the monitors, I can't see some of my applications. They are on the task bar, but nothing happens when I hit "restore".

Run MS Exchange through Apache

Q. I don't want to expose my windows machine to the world and much rather run Outlook Web Access (OWA) through an Apache Rewrite/ProxyPass - how can I do that?

A. We haven't tested MS Exchange 2007, but it worked with 2003. It is not something that is highly recommended, but it has its advantages. First of all, you are right - the windows system is blocked and only exchange web is accessible. Second, you have 2 servers - Linux and Windows. With ProxyPass, you can host windows applications (ie. .Net, mssql, etc.) and with direct access - you have Apache, MySQL, PHP, python, perl, etc.

Printing a logo (Raster to Vector conversion)

Q. I'm trying to print our logo (that I got from a <whatever - our website, my outlook signature, etc >) and it comes out blurred. Is there a way to fix that?

A. Yes. First of all, your logo is blurred because of the type of image used. The image that you are using is a raster graphic, what you need is a vector graphic. (See the links for a detailed description of the formats). In short, raster is not suitable for printing sharp images - you need a vector graphic.
