Seriously, it's like one of those retarded forum users who doesn't even bother to check the first couple pages of topics before posting a question that has been answered a hundred times over.

SELECT * FROM Foods WHERE type = "hamburger" It'd have to be SELECT * FROM Foods WHERE type = "$1" PARAM1 = "hamburger"

This functionality you propose is available today, although not required (at least in Oracle where I'm familiar). Look into bind variables. in fact, let me google it for anybody reading this who wants to know how to prevent sql injection. http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=bind+variables The positive side effect (again in Oracle) is that use of bind variables reduces the CPU cost of parsing SQL statements, so not only should you use bind variables, you should REALLY use bind variables.

>>>Quite. It's dead Jim, give it up...How many Amiga systems still work? So 3 other people download it, say WOW, and then never use it again? No doubt I'll be called a troll but really shouldn't you put your mad skillz to a better use?
>>>

If Amigas are dead why can I go buy a brand-new system, right now, for less than $1000. If Amigas are dead why is a new model being released in just a few months?

The only thing that's dead here is your curiosity. You'd rather jump to false ASSumptions, rather than GOOGLE for information about the Amiga: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=amiga+os+4.1

You're not a troll.
You're just an ignorant boob with a big mouth, and
you made yourself look like an idiot with your "Amiga's dead" comment.

>>>an obsolete OS - I think my question has some merit.

Your question makes an invalid assumption, which is why it was labeled "flamebait" or "troll" by moderators. AmigaOS 4.1 is just over 1 year old. You can that "obsolete"? Hardly. It's younger than the Vista, XP or OS X 10.5 operating systems many of us are still using. - And "I didn't know" isn't a defense when you're only a mouseclick away from google: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=amigaos+4.1

The Amiga hardware is a bit slow (~800 megahertz), but then again it's always been a lightweight OS, so it doesn't need much speed. The original Amiga did true multitasking with just 0.25 megabytes of RAM and the modern Amiga OS is just as efficient.

Ass.

Perhaps you'll believe Elon Musk himself:

"I heard people in Australia thought UFOs were visiting :)," SpaceX's millionaire founder Elon Musk told SPACE.com in an e-mail. "The venting of propellants, which is done to ensure that an overpressure event doesn't produce orbital debris, created a temporary halo caught the sun at just the right angle for a great view from Australia. I thought the pictures looked really cool."

Or perhaps let me google it for you.

too often the expensive proprietary version is just that much better than the free version

With notable exception of M$Office 2003/earlier and CADs, this statement relates to the reality very loosely.

This is a fairly common problem with FOSS, and it's one of the downsides of the FOSS ideology- many FOSS projects often have great developers but tend to miss other things that proprietary vendors do not- good UI designers as well as investment into usability studies, good QA, etc.

WTF?! I use corpoware on the daily basis and what you try to advertise here is applicable optimistically to 5-10% of the said software. And the same share of FOSS is well polished and nice/easy to use.

A lot of FOSS software is developed for FOSS developers, anyone else be damned.

FOSS model is "egoistic development model" - everybody develops for himself. And many corporation also "get it" and assign developers to FOSS projects to make the adjustments - either locally or in mainline - to accommodate their business cases. What is pretty much the same as assignment of specialists to customize proprietary systems and maintain the customizations.

From a business perspective, there's often no point going free if you need more or higher paid specialists to look after said system, whilst the people who use the system are less productive.

This is the most stupid thing I have read in months.

I yet to see the aforementioned "productivity" anywhere else but marketing PowerPoint slides.

Business goes for proprietary software due to long term support contracts. And that's about 75% of reasons. The remaining 25% of reasons revolve around backward compatibility.

And assigning a specialist to "look after said system" is the same for proprietary software. With the notable difference that assigning a specialist to babysit a FOSS deployment might also result in the problems being fixed eventually - while with proprietary software that happens like ... never. (Needless to mention that licensing costs often eclipse the IT wages: often it is cheaper to hire extra IT guy than to buy another proprietary corpoware.)

I could have called our IT for the examples, but I think it is redundant. The myth that proprietary software is somehow magically better for users is just that - myth. And was debunked many many times before.

In other words, you got nothing.

the secular humanist agenda

secular humanism isn't a defined group that has a central purpose

It seems to me you don't even know yourself what agenda, secular or humanism means.

Read the Communist Manifesto for some real insight into our college profs.

Wait, the one written by Karl Marx? The one that ends with "Working men of all countries, unite!" and proposes the overthrow of the tyranny from the educational and aristocratic elites? That Communist Manifesto?

Oh.... I get. Alright, I'll stop feeding the troll.

However, it is more difficult than just googling. It requires critical thinking as secular humanism isn't a defined group that has a central purpose. You can read things like the humanist manifesto to get an understanding. You will find it looks oddly familliar. It actually is a great read.

However, that is besides the point. Read the Communist Manifesto for some real insight into our college profs. The parent was the one who thought that there was some kind of correlation between young earth theology, rapture, and work ethic...fantastic critical thinking there.

As an engineer, I tend to find solid definitions to be quite agreeable. As a scientist, I know that everything could be all wrong and we should do more research... Actually, while words are often misused/misspoken (especially with Bush), it is also important to understand that language is not static. Language is as organic as our culture (for better or worse). New words are coined all the time. Some words are made and forgotten. Other words are only used in certain industries. Marketing terms are made up on an almost daily basis, and the ones that stick seem to find themselves in our everyday language. So, as for "normalcy", this predated W's word juggle: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=normalcy http://www.cjr.org/resources/lc/normalcy.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeping_normalcy I too find many words very annoying... like, "a whole nother". What is this word "nother"? Logic takes over and says quite clearly what a person means. While I don't like it, it's akin to riding over linguistic pot-holes. I'm not going to fix every little thing. Given time it won't need fixing, because it will be "proper". ...and this ends another rant of "things that bother the hell out of me".

Also, why can't I ever find a prototype of some highly-anticipated tech candy left unattended in a bar somewhere?

Probably for the same reason I can't pick the stocks that are going to zoom from $80 to $250 in six months.

I put one of these: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=electric+door+strike between my house and garage 20 years ago, and put a simple keypad on it. Add some kind of CPU and the same strike would work for RFID access.

The keypad is not terribly high security, but my garage has no pedestrian doors to the outside or any windows at all, and the overhead door is quite secure. If a bad guy gets into the garage, they're going to find enough tools to take care of whatever door locks I have anyway -- if they don't simply steal the tools and leave.

For those not in on the joke, he's sending you to let me google that for you, snarky boy!

You must live in the bubble provided by television news. They're all over the place.

The saddest part of this whole debacle is that common catholics and even victims appear to be closing ranks and showing a tendency to want to treat this as "an internal matter" because their leaders have brainwashed them to believe in a global anti-catholic conspiracy that will try to use this issue to destroy their church.

Not a single catholic I know--I'll spitball and call that 300 people, but fuck if I know exactly how many I know.

The vast majority of the cases you are hearing about in the news exceed the statute of limitations in the relevant jurisdictions--in short, there is nothing to be done (from the District Attorney's perspective I mean) 30 years after an alleged abuse. Those are the cases where the coverup is most infuriating--the cover up is the reason those cases weren't prosecuted then, and never will be.

Transparent mirroring is of course only one way among many to use drupal (or any other cms) securely. It is my impression that the current US administration actually allows hiring someone with a higher IQ than the president, so someone probably did a google search.

I'd like to draw a hard distinction here between cases where someone is actually being an asshole (see some of the other responses), and cases where you're wasting someone's time because you couldn't figure out how to just fucking Google it.

I try to be a bit more helpful and offer to Google it for them, but seriously, there are a lot of questions by people who need to follow this flowchart before asking questions.

The attitude comes, I think, from the fact that this is an ongoing problem. There are enough real questions and real problems, and enough real work to be done, that it's infuriating to see dozens of people asking the exact same questions (which are right there in the FAQ)...

Eventually, you end up with a situation where, consciously or not, the community has learned that it's more productive to be antisocial and drive away a few good people (and hopefully get a few people who learn to ask better questions) so we can get things done, than to have to deal with the unwashed masses.

I'm trying not to be elitist here -- again, I present it moderately gently, and I do try to offer an actual response. However, keep in mind that this is not the help desk, but a community. Meet us halfway, and we're generally quite helpful and friendly, though there are obvious exceptions. But if you're not willing to do your homework, don't expect us to go out of our way, either -- in that case, you're the one being rude.

O Rly?Here, you fucking dumbass.

I see a lot of parallels between Bilski and Eldred v. Ashcroft. They are both IP cases where the Court was asked to step in and do Congress's job for it. In Eldred they refused to issue any opinion whatsoever as to what would constitute an unreasonable extension of copyright terms. I see no Constitutional basis for them to hand down any other opinion in Bilski. IMHO the majority will refuse to state anything definitive on the issue, and mumble something about it being Congress's prerogative to interpret the "progress of science and the useful arts" clause in any way they see fit.

At that point lobbyists will descend on Congress with checkbooks in hand, and we'll all end up worse off than we were before the case was ever brought.

Nice, adding me as a foe. I thought it was only supposed to be dogmatic Christians that get infuriated when someone challenges their tightly-held beliefs? Nice to see atheists can get pissy about it as well.

None of what I said was particularly controversial, though my original post was naturally flippant, what with responding to a guy talking about zombie Jesus and all.

I hope this was some "over my head" joke - i'm not seeing the serious health problems here, and not sure how this would cause "cognitive deficiencies"

Filters, every fan should have one. I wish there were standard 120mm mounted filters. Think about all the dust that DOES end up in your case and you'll realize it's a great way to filter the air. Also dampening is awesome.... get with it case manufacturers.

They exist, see here.

No they can't. Their core duties are to advance their individual causes. That's done by engaging in the political process.

At that point, everything is part of the political process. Which means that the political process ceases to exist as a useful distinction from other processes involving people.

No, you are trying to muddle the waters by putting qualifications on the source of free speech.

Well, you got something partially right - I'm trying to put qualifications on the source of free speech. Not sure how that's muddying any waters...

Either which way, it's pretty clear you've made your bed on the side of complete deregulation. I really don't see any benefits coming from it... and yes, everything is a cost/benefit analysis. Rights aren't god given or natural, they're an agreement by the population on what works and what doesn't.

I hope you'll enjoy the ads from CNOOC endorsing a candidate. I wonder if a corporation could potentially run for president now?

When I did a phone interview with Google, they asked me (seriously) what a .pst file was, and what limits applied to it. Despite never having worked with Exchange or Outlook, I correctly guessed that it was an Outlook email file and the limit is likely either 2 GB or 4 GB in size. Despite the extremely good educated guess, they turned me down because I "got the question wrong."

Of course the really retarded thing is that's the kind of question I use Google to answer. Why would anybody bother keeping trivia like that in their heads when you can look it up in a third of a second?

Ugh. Google might be a great place to work, but their interviewing skills suck.
