We all know that the pictures that we find in magazines, posters and movies are edited. A lot. But it’s hard to really get a good idea of what actually goes on behind the scenes until you see something like this. Scary eh? Makes you realise that absolutely anyone can be “model material” as long [...]
This isn’t a question directed at you guys This is a question that lots of people have been asking me of late, and I felt the need to answer the question once and for all.
The short answer is: No.
The medium answer is: I have a licenced copy because I am an MSDN subscriber and [...]
I love my sport. Without it I’d go nuts. It’s a great venting mechanism, it lets you burn off calories and makes you feel good.
Unfortunately, not every sporting session turns out the way you’d like it. You might lose a game, or run a bad time, or twist your ankle - you might even get [...]

I haven’t posted a challenge for a while, so I thought I’d get you all thinking again with another basic little program. It’s simple, but there are a stack of possible solutions, so I’m expecting a bit of variety. So here we go.

It’s been a very long time since I last ate fast food (such as McDonalds, KFC or Hungry Jacks). In fact, it’s been years, because I just can’t stand the stuff and I know it’s really bad for me.
