I was doing some tests on my server and I found that adding . or .. at the end of the URL seems to change things, but I don't know why.
It's not limited to my server, though. I can access www.google.fr.. via Firefox or wget (didn't try an other mean, but I guess it's the same).
So, do you guys know what do these extra . mean?

There are two type of URL possible.
Absolute= having fully qualified path
Relative= having path relative to current directory.
"." & ".." are used in relative paths.
"." means Current Directory or Current Path Segment
".." means one directory up relative to current Directory/Current Path Segment

Everytime I print a page or a blank one, my printer prints 3 pages. The first page is:
Microsoft World - Document1
NWORD.EXE
6:291:87
27/2/4
The other 2 pages are blank. This has happened since a few days.
I already checked in Options->Display->PrintDocumentSettings and it's unchecked!
Anyone have an idea?
It is because of the default template it is using.
The default template is named Normal.dotm in Word 2010
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
The AppData folder is hidden so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer in order to see it.
Exit Word.
Move Normal.dotm to some other folder (save it somewhere else).
Restart Word - Document should be blank now.

I want to be able to work on my app but I won't have internet. So how can I run the app? Would regular rails s do the trick or is a network required for that?
rails s runs the server locally. Furthermore, I think you misunderstand the term virtual.
rails s will get the job done. Just run that command, then go to http://localhost:4000 (or whatever port it runs on)

When I enter project configuration in Jenkins (in Firefox), the first field (Project name) displays my Jenkins username instead of actual project name. Every time I change config, I need to change that back to project name (like "foo+tests").
Running latest jenkins version, on ubuntu 12.04.
How to fix that?
It was KeeFox FF extension that was messing with project name field in Jenkins.

Is there any consensus on the best practice of path vs page url structures (for simple, relatively static sites), in terms of usability and SEO?
e.g.
http://mysite.com/about.html
vs
http://mysite.com/about/
Where the about folder contains index.html
It would seem in terms of usability, esp. sharing and linking, that the path approach is much better (predicated upon the approach of only sharing the url up to the slash after the folder, and not including the index.html), albeit more complex in terms of organization - and that the page approach is better for SEO.
Also I've never quite understood the difference between
http://mysite.com/about/
and
http://mysite.com/about/index.html
Will the first always redirect to the second, therefore slowing things down? And when sharing the first type of url, should/must one always include the slash?
Thanks

I find that there always a wavy line in the URL before people's name in its profile web page.Such as this webpage:http://cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/people/~taochen/
There is a '~' before name 'taochen'.
What is the significance of it?A rule or a habit?
The tilde (~) often indicates a users home directory (in the Unix world). So when an educational institution wants to signify webpages that are generated in more or less non-controlled ways, a tilde is a good way to tell the open Internet, "hey, this website is the creation of someone that doesn't own this whole domain". Or, "this is their home webpage".
And to answer part two... it is a best practice, not a rule.
