I think the votes were probably correct (my opinionated view), although I would probably have ignored the post since it's on a subject that I know nothing about. Having said that, a link to that document does not really explain anything, and since it is already published on the internet it is easy for anyone else to find. Tips and tricks are supposed to be explanations (generally with code) of things that cannor be found elsewhere.

I'd suggest that pretty much anything on this website can be found in a similar form elsewhere. It's just an almighty refactoring of knowledge already known.
And I can't see why a pointer to a good article needs to be removed when someone recommends it as a tip, for that's exactly what it is.

In much the way that we have an article that's available for anyone to edit about useful programming books, perhaps you could have created a reference article of useful reference links. Make it editable by the community and it could become a valuable resource. If I were doing this, I'd put headings for the areas the links are about, e.g. ASP.NET MVC, and then have a table containing a brief description of the problem being solved and a link to the item you're referencing.

A hyperlink is not a tip, nor an article. If it's not news, then you'd best post it on Twatter. EVERY article here on CP could potentially be posted as an 'interesting hyperlink'. People don't come here for interesting links, they use Google for that.

Can any one help me, how to redirect http://www.xxxx.com/default.asp To http://www.xxxx.com in ASP
|

You are in the wrong forum!
But! In a standard scenario, such redirection will end in a infinite loop...

Yup, you're in the wrong forum I'm afraid, and from your brief description, it's not redirecting you want, it's URL rewriting.

My cat is a goof, he likes these milk carton pull tabs[^] and will carry them around, use them like hockey pucks, and talk to them. All. Night. Long.
What goofy/strange/funny/etc. behaviors do you see in your pets (if you have some)?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

My cat when I was 9 is a white cat with orange (or darker) spots all over her body.
I also have a dog before. She's pure brown (lighter). Even her nose and color of her eyes are brown.
Is it normal?

I have a black lab pup of 10 months old who displayed OCD qualities taking a toy in her mouth then pacing back and forth before me or between my wife and I if we are both there. Reaching out to touch us once as she passes each time.
Over and over and over in a figure 8 obsession.
She also can bring about temporary blindness with her farts.

My cat likes to bring his cat ball to me while I sleep. And if I don't play with him immediately, he just climb on me and he is 5.7kgs already. If this doesn't work he starts to fawn in my face. Such adorable animal.
Once I found 4 balls in the bed.

Trust me, there are worse things to find in your bed...particularly when cats are involved

We had one cat who was as thick as thick could be. He literally could only concentrate on one thing at a time.
He got an itch, so he stopped walking; up came the back leg, and "scritch-scritch-scritch" behind his ear - as they do. While this was in progress a fly buzzed past him and he thought "I'll have that!" and tried to run-and-pounce. Forgetting that one leg was up in the air going "scritch-scritch-scritch" he attempted to charge - and promptly fell over, still scritching.He was desperate to mate with our female cat and tried loads of times, but never quite got it right - he would bite the base of her tail and sling his leg over the wrong end. This never went well...
One day he sussed it out: the teeth were in the scruff of her neck, the legs were in the right place, he was so excited! Then a fly buzzed past him, and he thought "I'll have that!"  He would charge around outside like a loon - and run headfirst into parked motorcycles...[edit]Typo: and what a typo...  [/edit]

When there is a bird or cat in our back garden the dog starts going nuts at the back door to be let out to get it.
A couple of weeks ago he was released, went charging down the garden after a cat that hopped up the fence out of his way.
When he hit the fence head first his head went straight through the panel and he stood there, head outside our garden, looking left and right trying to work out where the cat had gone.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

We had a cat, called Piffle, she was the blond of cats, long grey hair and as stupid as they come. She only ever once actually caught a bird, she was asleep on a tree branch and the poor bloody thing landed on her.
We had mice eating the dog nuts, so fat they could hardly walk, she tripped over one and had no idea what to do with it!

Once there he starts making a noise like "Woooooooooow!" then he goes back to the wood where he finds comfortable...

My cat used to love those pull tabs - I used to get them on orange juice cartons. She also used to love playing with crumpled bits of paper[^] - she could chase a bit of paper around for hours!

I had a cat that would play fetch with one of those whiffle balls with the rattle in the center. He was a goofy cat but I loved him a lot and miss him terribly.

While searching for M83 Outro, came across this video on youtube.....

I just think it is as the subject says!
And to think that the search started by trying to find the music from a Persil Washing Powder Advert!
