1. Add an iteration limit on b2TimeOfImpact::TimeOfImpact, limiting the loop to 50 iterations has been working for me
2. Inside the alpha root finding algorithm in TimeOfImpact, add a check if (alpha < 0.000001) break; this will eliminate the 1/infinity solution problem.
3. Add an iteration limit on b2World::SolveTOI. I have also been using 50 here. This will eliminate situations where more and more contacts keep being found and it never finishes resolving all of them.
4. Don't use b2WeldJoint, especially if you are attaching to a static body. Either combine the fixtures into one b2Body or use b2RevoluteJoint with limits set on it.

1. Most Flash programmers are not good programmers. It doesn't help that Flash CS3 is too easy to use. By that I mean that designers are now programming games, not programmers. The result of this is that many shittily programmed games come out thus diluting the very few good Flash games. It's my opinion that if you can't make a good game, don't distribute your game, keep it to yourself and have fun with your friends.
2. Adobe's network security measures are RIDICULOUS. In order to make a connection to a server, you must first make a connection to the server and ask if it's ok to make a connection via this socket policy bullshit. WTF is that about?! To make things worse, the socket policy has to be served from port 843 (which by the way Adobe hasn't registered with the IANA). As if that's not enough, the server must also have a 'crossdomain.xml' file on the root of the server that also allows you to access its content. Yea, I'll just go ask my webhosting company for that....
3. Speaking of hosting, developers of networked Flash apps are faced with two options: get your own private server or find an excessively overpriced Flash hosting service. Of course if you get your own private server you then have to set it all up yourself, properly secure it, and install a daemon to serve back Flash socket policies on port 843. Fun times.
4. Flash games inevitably spread all over the internet and thus the networked ones end up using a lot of bandwidth from the hundreds of thousands of users or more playing them. I'm planning on Beat Me Up Too using around 100GB/month in bandwidth.

1. The plan I was on was advertised having "Unlimited Data Transfer"
2. In the control panel for my website it said I had 99,999GB of bandwidth available for the month
3. In their Terms of Service they state that "The intention of IX Web Hosting is to provide ample resources for customer convenience, so that customers needn't to worry about exceeding limits." and also that "Subscriber agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the maximum number of megabytes per month for the service plan subscribed by the customer ("Agreed Usage"�). IX Web Hosting will monitor subscriber's bandwidth and disk usage. IX Web Hosting shall have the right to take corrective action if subscriber's bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage."
4. They supposedly offer an Uptime or Cash Guarantee which they did not extend to me
5. They are now going to make me pay for the free domain registration that I had with them for willperone.net

1. A PHP page that facebook displays embeds the SWF game using FBML
2. The PHP passes FBML userid arguments to the SWF so the game can recognize who's playing it (if set)
3. Inside the Actionscript 3 code in the SWF, it reads the url parameters (Application.application.parameters) and sets the internal username to that.
4. The game then posts a URLRequest to another PHP page telling it the login/password
5. The PHP page makes a mysql request to login or add the account and returns error/success
6. The Actionscript 3 code reads the error/success code from the PHP script and proceeds accordingly.

<input type="text" name="name" value="Your Name" onfocus="if (!this._haschanged){this.value=''}; this._haschanged=true;">

1. You can create an infinite number of accounts on Reddit
2. There's no CAPTCHA or other validation system in place when creating an account to prove someone is not a bot.
3. Although it takes hundreds of upmods to reach the front page on Reddit, it only takes 1 downmod after submission of an article to immediately put it into obscurity

1. Include a CAPTCHA or other system to make sure people registering on Reddit are human
2. Provide a system to report submissions and users
3. Don't allow people to vote on articles without at least following the link
4. Provide a solution where articles that are immediately downmodded after submission don't disappear from the new list.

1. Buy a london broil (top round roast cut). If it's frozen (discouraged) defrost beforehand
2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
3. Beat the london broil with a mallet to tenderize it
4. Rub seasoned salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder and coriander on both sides of the meat then rub with olive oil.
5. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray, place the london broil on it and put in the oven on the middle rack
6. Wait 30 minutes, then put the oven on broil high.
7. Wait 10 minutes, take the london broil out and let it rest for 5 minutes.
8. Make sure to pour the juices in the pan over the meat when served and cut at a 45 degree angle to the grain of the meat.
