It is. But if they're competing with the free stuff, the solution is to make stuff that's worth more than the free stuff. So much more that people are willing to pay the price. They may go out of business if they fail, but if they succeeed,

The thing is, the bit of difference is actually quite a big difference. It's the difference of helping yourself by not hurting others and helping yourself by hurting someone else. It's the difference between reading a newspaper you found on

I'm genuinely curious about that as well. I'm hoping it isn't. How would you prevent spam from bringing down your site's usefulness? How would you prevent that swearing overtakes an otherwise family friendly site?

I did some experimenting with recursive regexes after reading this article. I hadn't heard of it before and it sounded like an interesting concept. However, captures in the recursion can't be retrieved after it gets returned. This may not b

On the other hand, my experience has taught me that going to bed late and not having to get up at a certain time in the morning, leads to going to bed even later. I've found that this does not make me less tired, but more.
