Preventing mail form/comment form spam
I seem to have hit on a simple way to prevent or at least greatly reduce the amount of spam generated by having a mail form or a comment form on your website.

Installed in Parallels
I've got it running under Parallels on an iMac. Assigned 1Gb RAM and a tiny HDD (just for tests). I'm quite impressed with the speed so far. Seems quite nippy. Windows Experience score is only 1.0 though due to the graphics limitations - the version of Parallels I have doesn't support 3D...- Foamcow

Array keys - what's allowed?
I'm working on a little calculation script at the moment and for reasons I won't go into I've come across what I think might be a bit of a design faux pas. I have an associative array which is along the lines of ['Our Fees']=>350, ['Registry fees'=>60, ['Search fee']=>30 The array keys are... -
