#52Closed as soon as I saw the Facebook login needed prompt.
Re: Regex Crossword
#53Nice, but the answers being phrases ruins it for me, because you start seeing the answers without needed to check the regular expressions. Really nicely designed though. Clean UI. Wouldn't mind if it was enlarged to use more of the screen real estate (tiny fonts are hard to read). I had fun with this.
I thought about this too- the phrases- but, isn't that how normal crossword puzzles are? You can gather clues from the context of surrounding words when doing one of those puzzles.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
A site knowing my facebook account is a small issue, facebook knowing a visited that site is the big one.
There is a good chance that Facebook already knows you visited a particular site because that site is already serving Facebook content (via a like button, for example).
Nope, I use browser addons to protect my privacy.

This is exactly why I use a different browser for Facebook than any other web browsing. As far as they are concerned, the only site I ever visit is Facebook. Same with Google properties. I only use Chrome to visit Google properties.
It's much easier to just block Facebook stuff with browser addons, and you can easily nuke every other tracker as well while you're at it.

#56No facebook account here either. Would be nice to be able to sign up with email or log in with google.
Re: Regex Crossword
#57I really dislike that patterns using * wildcard required using the letters beforehand. The game requires A* to match a row with zero or more A's, but this is absolutely incorrect, as A* will gladly match ANY string, like QQQQ.

Anyone understand what (.)*DO\1 should match?
edit: Okay, I was writting 0 instead of O that's why it wasn't working.

#59How about you save my progress in a cookie? You might find this hard to believe, but I don't have a Facebook account.
Off topic, but god I just wish Facebook would disappear. It's ironic that such a popular company with such a huge valuation would produce an immediate and significant benefit to me if it just disappeared overnight.

Why not create one but never post onto it? That's what I did. I don't see any detrimental effects if I create an account but never use it to its full capabilities.
