   I think the author could have spent 5 more minutes and elaborated on how this is supposed to work. Tried to get it working, just couldn't.
   
   Some basic questions include:
   1. This is meant to go into the .htaccess right?
   2. Why is there commented code here? Why?
   3. Isn't that PHP code? Why is there PHP code in a .htaccess file?
   
   I'm sending the dish back to the kitchen. It's cold.
