Responding to a Schema Master Failure
There is a little known FSMO role in Active Directory called Schema Master, quite simply it manages changes to your Active Directory Schema. Whilst this is down, no schema changes can be made. Chances are, you'll forget to move this role as it isn't listed in the usual Operations Masters tab.
Does anyone know why?! Anyway, if you've ever lost or moved a Domain Controller, chances are you didn't move this role.
What is the difference between ‘learnt’ and ‘learned’?
Apparently, not much. These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is more common in British English, and learned in American English. It's an irregular verb, and this is a part of its irregularity.
British people - 'Learnt' please.

SEO Friendly URLs for CubeCart in Windows

Simple fix...
CubeCart Tax Classes on Product Page
A client of mine sells a mix of VAT and VAT exempt products via a CubeCart 4 store I setup.
Although CubeCart allows this and calculates the VAT right on the checkout process, it doesn't have any facility to show the customer which tax class the product falls into on the viewProd page.
Annoying.
