When you ran into a problem, try to find the solution here first. If it's not here, try to find an answer by googling your problem, asking fellow students, or, as a very last resort, ask your tutor! If you found a solution, please put it here such that others can use it! Try to be as consise yet descriptive as possible, and try to file your Problem-Solution pair under the correct category (or add a new category if necessary).

Example

Just as an example! Please remove this section if you're the first to add a Problem-Solution pair!

My computer is on fire. Is this a bad thing?

Nah, probably not, the fire will soon die out. Be sure though to commit all your changes to the SVN! Just in case...
