Nice job, this looks really useful - would certainly help for the times when I'm stuck with no internet access and need to look something up. One minor niggle - when I changed the file I wanted to use in settings, there was no confirmation

I can access the Web Store fine with my apps account. The apps account administrator needs to enable it in the Apps control panel. IIRC it's in "Organisation and Users" --> "Services". The only thing not in there (that I've found) is Go

I often find the hardest part is actually starting whatever it is you're putting off. After that, it's a lot easier to keep going (provided you don't get distracted by interruptions). My solution is to turn off all my IM clients, load up a

Apps like Lucid Chart and Sketchpad are where I think HTML5 will be most useful. Flash is still (and likely will be) popular for games for a long time, but it doesn't work too well for the 'productive' apps, which is where I see HTML5 stepp

I think they seized some domains, but not necessarily the ones this article is talking about. If this is a hoax, it works particularly well, as ICE does't seem to have confirmed which domains it has seized.

My first (real) programming experience was with PHP when I was 14. Before that, I fiddled around with a bit of flash and ActionScript. I found it so much easier to learn by actually having a project and working out how to make it a realit

I've had a project under the AGPL for a while now, and it always annoyed me that Google Code wouldn't support the license. It's good to see them stepping forward to allow the use of these newer licenses on the site.

Agreed. Most of the time, we don't eat until we feel full, we eat until we finish what we've got. I can see the benefit to those who like to snack because they're hungry during the day - regularly drinking water will help ward off the hunge

Personally, I don't mind when sites complain about my browser, as long as there is still an element of choice. Not all HTML5/CSS3 features are there in stable versions of a lot of browsers, so if your site were to use a feature only availab
