Title: Hacketyhack may now start without an internet connection

hacketyhack does not crash any more when starting without an Internet connection. The only place where I had to check for this was the check for the latest version.

In order to determine whether we have a connection or not an HTTP request to the hacketyhack API is made in order to see whether the response is a HTTP Success.

I went with this approach rather than just rescuing the error, because the same function could be used to deactivate other Internet related functionality (Register a new account, Upload button of the editor).

This should close issue #140 (is tehre a way to get this pull request directly into this issue?)
