While I'm quite terrible at design (I'm a coder, if anything at all), when I do end up designing websites, the first step is sitting back and figuring out what I really want: what kind of content will go there, who's the expected audience,

Perhaps, but definitely not MMOs. There's a lot to read on the internet, for example. There's also a lot of forums (bible forums, if she's religious, for example) where one can participate..

I wouldn't want to play an MMO when I get old. Seems like such a waste of time when one's already short on time. Factor in that every MMO will have it's fair share of abusers... that's not something my grandparents would've enjoyed. If one

I would suggest you give one such opportunity a try: promotion is a strong tool, and while it usually costs more than you can immediately count as income from it, in the long run, it can be beneficial. However, that's not always the case, e

I'm using Magit, it's perfectly fine for my uses (commit, merge, rebase, stash, and branching - usually very little deep plumbing). It has good documentation, I can only recommend it. Sadly, I can't compare it to the others you listed, as M

Another option would be to use robots.txt to stop bots from accessing a particular URL (for example, an 1x1 image or somesuch). Hide that somewhere in every page, and only count visits where the image was shown. This does require that the u

Someone, somewhere will read it anyway. With a carefully calibrated spam filter, one could even make it so that no human interaction is needed: when the filter tags the message as spam, it tells that to the user. He can then contact the sit

Run a spam filter on the incoming messages, if the filter tags them suspicios, require manual review before postage. Another option would be to check whether the abusers are coming from a specific IP range, and simply deny access to them.

Once you can distinguish person X from person Y, showing something different is the easiest thing. And yes, it is of course possible to do what you want, once you can figure out who is visiting your site: X or Y? That's the harder part.

That only means that even if you were in successful teams, they weren't good teams.

I've been looking at bug trackers recently, but haven't found anything quite like redmine, in either language (though, I would've preferred perl or python over php). The closest thing might be mantis, but even that is fairly different.

If I want to access google (which is pretty damn rare), there's DDG's !g, and the "No more matches found, check google." link at the end. For me, it is easier to prefix my search string with !g than to hit the back button. Especially if I a

I disagree with the statement. However, you need a good team to work well as a team, and when you're at the stage of trying to pinpoint faults, the team already failed. That doesn't mean that all teams suck, though. The one I work with cert

While using the back button is a neat trick, it looks kinda awkward... Couldn't you have a toolbar or similar on top instead (or in addition to the back button thing, thus getting rid of the even more annoying popup)? The idea is interestin

Provide an API to get the lyrics, so music players can use the site (you can embed the google ads at the end of the lyrics, or find another way to get something out of it). Most people I know, myself included, use music players that can que

http://xkcd.com/327/ comes to mind. But, to answer the question: If I absolutely had to, I'd find a language which has a function which also happens to be an acceptable name. Or, if no such thing exists, I'd quickly hack up my own >;]

Sit down into a comfy chair, grab a keyboard, try to type the domain name 100 times, without paying much attention. How many times did you type blink.com? If it's more than ~30%, then it will be a hindrance. blnik is awkward to type, and wh

I use rebase often: I develop on a feature branch, experiment there a lot, and before I push it, I rebase it to squash the thing into more managable and straightforward pieces. (I push my branches public when they're ready, and when I won't

If you have a lot of time on your hands, and you like experimenting - give it a go: you'll learn a lot (and more than likely, you will also lose some hair). However, you can learn linux pretty darn well without ever building a system from s

You're looking at Emacs, which has a terminal, and a browser (well, the browser is a bit trickier to add in: http://www.haxney.org/2009/08/its-alive.html ), among other things.

After being an Emacs user for the past 10+ years, nothing else feels more comfortable. Not even in those few rare cases where I have to use windows. Once my keybinds I'm so used to stop working, I can't work fast. Thus, anything but Emacs f

It would have the same advantage as distributed source control: it's distributed. It works offline, meaning I can add bug reports, comments, change them and so on and so forth while being offline. Or one could work on the reports and publis

There's two ways I create database tables: - either I create them through an ORM, in which case I don't document the database tables or fields, I document the object instead. - or I create it "by hand", in which case I use the standard comm

staging would fit well within the work flow outlined above: you just branch out a staging branch, and export that. If the client needs any fixes, you fix it on the stating branch, and merge it back to master. That way, further development o

What I like most about DDG (switched to it about 2 months ago) is zero-click info. While google does provide more relevant search results fairly often, DDG's zero-click info easily makes up for that as far as I'm concerned. The various bang

My inbox is fairly small usually, and most of my email traffic comes from mailing lists, which are easy to filter. Due to that, I'm only using Nested Labels from Labs, so my labels look like "lists/foo/bar" - and my filters just label appro
