Update: The contest has been cancelled due to legal restrictions, you can read more on the contests web site.
The $100 house contest is both interesting and sad. Not sad because of the idea, but clear proof at just how screwed this economy is and how it is affecting the housing market.

May has just begun and is already a busy month for Scriptplayground. To date we have released 3 unique articles and have some bigger stuff in the works. A special thanks to guest author aklement for writing the introduction to OOP and Design Patterns.
The other two tutorials are a custom rollover script for Flash and a dynamic class for linking. Both of which are meant to be a starting point for the readers to expand on.

Resolved: As it turns out, Charles does indeed change those settings, but for some reason didn’t revert them when it closed. Leaving the Network dialog box open will show an alert message that the settings are changed and then will show those 2 boxes checked/un-checked depending on whether Charles is running or not.
Update: Mark (in the comments of this post) has informed me this could in fact be caused by Charles “Web Debugging Proxy” tool, so I will be investigating this further.
Has anyone else noticed that WebKit installed using a nightly build tends could be to add adding a 127.0.0.1 web proxy? This essentially means the computer is linked to itself. This was a common “attack” in the IRC days that script kiddies played on each other, but is it possible a legitimate piece of software is doing this?
See the attached screenshot to understand the problem.
Simply un-checking that box stops the error, but it will make you scratch your head if your not aware of it.
