You can't learn creativity, but you can keep it in good shape. It has plenty to do with social inhibitions as well. With a tendency to question others' ideas and to trust yourself comes creativity. Here's a start: Be more creative than to a

Yes, if you're serving from Apache: * http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html * http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_include.html I'm sure other servers have similar options.

I worked full-time is a freelancer for quite a while. Nobody asked for my papers, and I won't say anything about taxes. I could've easily laid low when (the few) clients called asking for info (SSN, etc.) for my 1099s, as income was distrib

Sorry, but I don't think that this makes much sense. INS already has their hands full, and it wouldn't be much fun for them to have to check up on thousands of startup founders to be sure that they're in fact running their business (1) viab

Too late to edit. It doesn't force a scrollbar even in NetNewsWire though, so you might just want to widen the window a bit.

You know what, you're right. I was thinking of something like: if (strpos('http://digg.com/', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) header('Location: whateverPage'); But that would block all traffic from Digg, including links in comments,

It goes against the grain of the web, that's why. Sites that connect so many users to so much content should not do that.

Yes, but I've never heard of RewriteConds/Rules affecting scalability. It's common knowledge to only use preg_match, etc. in PHP if you're performing a very complex search. Of course, this is not a huge deal, but I feel that if you're advis

What do you mean by that? At the very least, most PHP devs know that strpos/strstr are much, much faster than a regular expression.

Assuming he uses Apache, why not just use a RewriteCond for that referrer and redirect to such a page? Executing that regex on every page is a performance hit, and generally I prefer to use Apache for stuff like this. If you do use the supp

It is odd, but I don't care much for the practice of inspecting user profiles, except when browsing submitted content. Edit: I've thought about this a bit, and I think it's wrong to suspect users in this way. There are likely many who just

If somebody posted an article on Python best practices with no evidence of Python experience, you'd be singing a very different tune. But I guess double standards are OK. I didn't say a thing about the poster's age, intelligence, effort, or
