Apache sometimes has problems serving up CSS when @imported, something abut caching:

@import url( http://www.stinner.com/wp-content/themes/trident/style.css );

And it seems to affect Firefox only. Any reason you can’t use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.stinner.com/wp-content/themes/trident/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Try something like:
if( is_page() ) {
the_post();
if( 0 != $post->post_parent ) {
$post_name = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_name from $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $post->post_parent");
}
}

Well, the biggest thing is that I was assuming that $post was defined at the time, like in a Loop. Are you going to be including this code in a template?

There was a big discussion about this on the Kubrick Flickr group. You can wade through there and see if they ever got a real solution.

You could do something like the following:

if( 0 != $post->post_parent ) {
$post_name = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_name from $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $post->post_parent");
}

Untested but should be about what you’d need.

Empty the permalink structure string to get back to “ugly” permalinks.

The fact that Apache issues a 404 on the complete permalink means to my mind that the rewrite simply isn’t happening. I’m no expert on Apache versions, so I don’t know what to tell you about getting pretty permalinks in that environment, but I will say that whatever is in your .htaccess right now isn’t having any effect on your URL. If it was, by the time Apache got down with it it would be in the form of something like index.php?blahblah.

Try wp_list_cats('child_of=2').

If you’re going to post your commenters’ email addresses, be sure they know you’re going to be doing that. People visiting WP blogs have come to expect the default behavior and I know I personally would be ticked if there was no mention that my email address would be laid out for all the illicit spiders to grab.

That said, you can use echo $comment->comment_author_email; from within the comment loop to echo the address. May your readers have mercy on you :).
