In the IMAP vs POP article, it is said that IMAP mail can be stored locally (permanently) as well.

How can I do this?

I have 4 mail accounts – Gmail, Hotmail and 2 PCs to be kept in sync using WLM and Outlook.

What is the name of this text-based game from the 80s?

Answers — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:04:01 +0000

You were a detective walking through a house, a murder had been committed. Everything you did was performed by typing in text, for example: “open suitcase”. There was a mysterious figure that always killed you randomly before you could solve anything. You could try and do things to the computer and what ever you type in it seemed to have a response but nothing worked.

“Kick figure” answer was “feet won’t work here”; “bite figure” answer would come back “teeth don’t work here”. If you said “kill figure” I think it answered “your gun has no bullets” and if you got mad and said “f*** figure”, the screen would change to “You have entered the corridors of filth mouth” and you couldn’t leave until you said “sorry”.

So… what game is this?

Why does my laptop only work when it is plugged in although it is fully charged?

Answers — Wed, 22 May 2013 11:05:12 +0000

My laptop (COMPAQ) will shut down as soon as it is unplugged, even though it is fully-charged. And it will not switch on unless it is plugged.

I thought it would be due to overheating and started using an external cooler, but still the same thing is repeated.

Can anyone suggest me to fix this problem?
