Apache Server Frequently Asked Questions
It means just what it says: the server was expecting a complete set of HTTP headers (one or more followed by a blank line), and didn't get them. The most common cause of this problem is the script dying before sending the complete set of headers, or possibly any at all, to the server. To see if this is the case, try running the script standalone from an interactive session, rather than as a script under the server.

Why does composite wood siding fail?

Home Siding Claims - Masonite Siding, Omniwood, OSB, Synthet...
Several factors contribute to the failure of composite wood siding: the performace of the product itself, the quality of its installation, and/or the design of the sturcture. Composite siding does not handle water very well. Water droplets collect on the bottom edge of the siding after a rain shower or morning dew. The wood fibers expand and contract causing the boards to crack, buckle, peel and delaminate. As the paint cracks it allows more moisture and damage to occur.

Why does a leach field fail?

Sloboda Brothers, Inc., dba American Septic Service - Scient...
JSA: The main reason for failure of a leach field is plugging caused by a failed septic tank. Particles of non-decomposed septic material escape the septic tank outlet baffle and decrease the porous nature of the leach field earth. Over time the effluent water may seek relief by bubbling up to the surface since it no longer can be absorbed properly downward into the ground. Offensive odors and dangerous bacteria in the surface water can be identified.

How does a fail safe work?

BONZÍ SPORTS Frequently Asked Questions - Have a Zeno...
The fail safe is an electronic device that plugs between the throttle servo and the receiver. It senses voltage and frequency changes or signal loss. In other words, if your battery drops to a specific voltage that could cause loss of signal to the radio or if you lose signal between the transmitter and the receiver, it shuts the throttle to a preset position, usually idle, preventing runaways.
