Sounds like it should be Apollo 13, but it's really The Tourist
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Could be a dairy one circling cockney request to raise we hear this weapon (7)
Could be a dairy one = Farm
Cockney request to raise we hear = ire ( higher with the h removed ( cockneys are known for doing this))
weapon = Firearm

"Cockney", "East End" etc. are all crosswordese references to speakers without aspiration. No, not unambitious; droppers of aitches. So ...
Cockney tile = AT (unaspirated hat)
East End shelter from the wind = AVEN or ARBOUR
time passed in Bow = OUR
|
|
|
|
|
For the purpose of explaning it amounts to the same thing - don't see where unambitious enters the equation.

It doesn't. T'was but a humorous aside on the other meaning of 'aspiration'.

A Cockney is supposedly one born within earshot of the Bow Bell so you could be right.
(I was going for crossbow because it has "c..ow" but too long enough.)

I assumed Cockney is related something with London and so Longbow. Sometimes CCC from pkfox makes me more dumber than the usual average day

I recently took service of a new provider for web hosting because the last provider was overcharging. I had to develop a small website in PHP. Since I did not want to change the page extension, I used .htaccess file to be able to use PHP code on my html pages. Everything was working fine on my local system. Mr. Zafar was very happy because first time he worked on PHP and everything was spot on. Now was the time to host the website on live server. The complete code was copied on the web server and the URL was accessed. The moment it was typed in the address bar and enter key was hit, boom...error 500
After a lot of code verification and testing, one more try and one more failure. I was in panic and contacted technical support. The support guy made me wait for a good hour and out of frustration I just uploaded a "We will be back" page and disconnected. Next day when I came back and tried to access the site, the home page was shown and there was PHP code smeared all over the page 
I checked the directory and found that .htaccess file was renamed to .htaccess_back. I deleted it and reloaded a new .htaccess file and bang, again error 500. I deleted it and there was my website with crappy looking PHP code all over the page. I took down everything and left again with only "We will be back" page". After this I again contacted the technical support. This is the most important part. Kindly notice the responses of the guy 
You are now chatting with "Support Guy" - General
19:42 Support Guy:
Hello..! Welcome to our Online Live chat helpdesk), May I get your name and contact information in case we get disconnected?
19:42 Zafar Sultan:
(I gave him my contact number)
19:44 Support Guy:
How may i help you ?
19:45 Zafar Sultan:
Why can't I use .htaccess file in my application?
19:46 Support Guy:
What is your domain name?
19:46 Zafar Sultan:
I hosted my website(the domain name) and it was giving error 500
19:46 Support Guy:
please wait
19:47 Zafar Sultan:
Some genius from your support staff renamed .htaccess file to .htaccess_back and the error was gone.
19:47 Zafar Sultan:
But you know what? The whole site became crap. It still is.
19:48 Zafar Sultan:
I recoded some part of it. But without using .htaccess file, I have to re-develop a whole lot bunch of php script.
19:48 Support Guy:
Thanks for waiting
19:50 Zafar Sultan:
And?
19:50 Support Guy:
kindly consult with your developer regarding .htaccess file. It's coding issue.
19:51 Zafar Sultan:
What issue? I am the developer.
19:52 Support Guy:
Please wait.
19:58 Zafar Sultan:
I hope you will be back. Probably with an answer.
20:05 Zafar Sultan:
You want me to wait and meanwhile you will visit the US to look into the server directly?
20:13 Support Guy:
Thanks for waiting.
20:14 Zafar Sultan:
Tell me the reason. I am not here for whole night. What is the problem with your service?
20:16 Support Guy:
We were renamed .htaccess file.
20:16 Zafar Sultan:
Yes.
20:16 Support Guy:
kindly check your .htaccess file
20:16 Zafar Sultan:
For what?
20:18 Support Guy:
As earlier you said your website was not working so we just rename the .htaccess file and your website start working.
20:18 Zafar Sultan:
What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you repeating the same things I have already stated?
20:19 Zafar Sultan:
You renamed .htaccess file and the site started working but the php code didn't so the pages were all crap.
20:20 Zafar Sultan:
And by the way, are you really looking into the issue or you are paid for the time spent online?
20:20 Zafar Sultan:
It's been 40 minutes and you can't bloody find the reason. You are getting on my nerve kid.
20:21 Support Guy:
please wait, we are arrange call you for within 10 minutes
20:21 Zafar Sultan:
So I need to wait another 10 minutes banging my head against this monitor. Right?
20:27 Zafar Sultan:
Genius kid, you wasted 45 minutes of my life. What a disgrace you are for your profession.
After this I disconnected the chat. 10 mins later I received a call from them and the loop started again....

EIG strikes again?
Although it's not much consolation, this is not really the support guy's fault. He's probably under-qualified and overworked and gets harassed by both the management and clients.

Yes, the guy will have had 30 mins training on the basic questions that get most frequently asked and has a script to go through. Anything not on his questions he isn't going to know. In these cases you normally need to go through some kind of "escalation" to "second line support". In the OP's case, the most likely answer is that the hosting service simply doesn't support what he wants to do.

Apple's current strategy for new releases
1. Release with bugs and essential features missing
Apple fanboy reaction - None, they are too busy showing off their new gadget and bashing the competition to notice anything amiss.
2. Release update with some bug fixes
Apple fanboy reaction - "Oh look how wonderfully stable xxx is! Apple always ships the best software!"
3. Release update with a fraction of the missing features added
Apple fanboy reaction - "Look everyone, xxx has gotten even better than before!"
(note the use of "gotten")

Well he was being kinda hard on them so he had to put a bit of praise in there for their correct use of English.
What?

You've gotten me all figured out!
I'd give you a list but that would be too much trouble.
There, that should be reason enough.
