Well I suppose games are simulations after all - wonder if you could put teammate's mishaps down to bugs.

I was rather surprised to see Georgia missing, however I don't know about it's availability on the Mac. I actually think Myriad Pro is becoming a web-safe font if your primary audience is designers - it's shipped with Photoshop after all.

I'm also a fan of Segoe UI, which (as far as I can tell) is actually used in the Vista dialogs more frequently than Calibri. Unfortunately Calibri doesn't look great when it's used in small sizes so I tend to use Segoe as a small-size alter

Is this illegal now? I tend to use the free editions of these sites (e.g. coursework.info) to help improve my essay writing (I don't actually hand them in). They're a great source of revision.

I know many people deem Python as sexy, but when you start calling Python error screens sexy I think you have a problem. Serious commentry will resume after the blip.

> though I wonder why he chose to write about it instead of alerting Kaspersky. Probably for the "fame". I have to say I'm hardly impressed by the recent exploits that I've seen, the phpBB.com one for example.

Could I suggest an alternative to the maxtime/minaway method? I was thinking have a set time when you know you are at work, (e.g. 9-5, Monday to Friday (or Saturday you poor soul)) and just have it disabled between that time. Perhaps even h

I nearly started a project like this but decided that it wouldn't be worth it - how many developers would be programming on anything except their rig?

A well worked natural language processor tied into this would work wonders. "Computer, call Home..."

PHP's how I got into programming too. It's a relatively easy language to learn as it doesn't worry too much about typing and it's syntax leaves a nice bridge to C which could be just what you need.

While I'm not a Vim user (or even an emacs user) that sounds useful without the knowledge of Vim keyboard shortcuts.

I agree. I use the scroll button to open links in new tabs, but sometimes I really want to open a page in the same tab. This is only seconded by links that are something like: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="someStuff();"> I

They've cleared up now but make sure you turn visible error_reporting off, no excuses. You should also look into better error trapping and handling. On another technical aspect I notice you're passing regexes via GET. Don't - setup an array

I get lots of nasty mysql errors when I open the link. Make sure error_reporting is set to 0 and that you log errors to a file, which can be done via Apache (or your choice of httpd server). Because of the mysql errors I cannot use your app

Exactly - UserVoice is a suggestion tracker and I'm sure this isn't official. Still got 6 points though :?

I agree. I did my "2-second-glance" technique - something I use to see if I can gather what a site is about by looking at it for 2 seconds. My first thought was that it was a personal blog - might be something you want to work on. Perhaps t

Physically pulling out the network cable from the router (presuming you're at home/in a place where you can) is also a beneficial psychological push to get on with your work. I do this and have found myself opening Firefox/Outlook/Newsgroup
