It isn't just that, the whole security theater is really affecting it.
Me and my girlfriend were recently looking at plane prices to travel to the UK, and then came the realization that we were actually looking for options that did not make a scale in the US, leaving out pretty much any plane from any airline in the US.
I mean, what in the world are the school administrators thinking? That parents are not going to care if they force their daughter to give them their log in information to their personal accounts?
That is about the best advice that I can give you, treat every single piece of data that comes from the outside world as malicious input, if you can validate against expected values or patterns, do just that, and discard anything that you aren't expecting. Once an user is logged in, do not trust them, at all, be very careful with privilege escalation. Use prepared statements for every single data that interacts with the database if this data leaves your control even for one operation, it doesn't matter if it comes from direct input, from a session variable, from a cookie, you check the data and use prepared statements ALWAYS. Keep your software updated, if you need this to be secure, you can't just make one installation and feel good, you will have to be prepared to constantly update the software in the server, and there will be no end to this as long as you want a secure platform. Protect the passwords in the database in case they are stolen, a hash+salt per password is an option to do this. Security is not about preventing a hack, it is about reducing the chances that a hack occurs. If you have valuable information, you will get experience attacks, and you have very valuable information, you will eventually get hacked, you have to find every single hole in the software, the attacker only needs to find one.
I just added you in G+, so I am guessing this is not the last that I hear from you, but it is going to be strange to not see your name in many articles in the future. Good look in your future endeavors.
"When you think of product placement on television you tend to think of cumbersome 1950s examples where the actor would cheesily turn to camera and hold up, say, a bar of soap—where do you think the sobriquet soap opera came from—to deliver his line."
Say what? When I think of product placement on television I think in any current television show coming from the US.
They live in a fancy world...

where the demands of their gimmick (3-D) drives the development other new gimmicks (higher res) ignoring entirely the demands of the people who actually buy things (such as, well, nothing more than a plain 2-D tv).
Do either of you understand what a "scientific theory" is?
One question I'd like to ask Darwin, if he were still alive, is this: If man evolved from apes, then why do we still have apes? Why didn't all species evolve like man supposedly did?
I'd say "unbelievable", but it is not, it is just sad.
Of all of the mobile platforms, this was the one that I was really looking forward to, not just as a user, I was looking forward to program things for it. It seemed just so nice, well developed, well planned, and it even had some nice touches such as the Konami code. I didn't care about iOS and android just wasn't as interesting, this was, and I was very sorry to see it fail and fade away.
I know that HP bought it, and that it plans to do something with it. I just hope that they handle this correctly because it is an interesting concept, and I would like to see it become something great.

What is the difference?, they are endless anyway.

I found it sad =/ (and I have to avoid them)
I mean, what in the world are the school administrators thinking? That parents are not going to care if they force their daughter to give them their log in information to their personal accounts?
Oh, and I just used my mod points =/
Seriously, why in the world would someone combine all that with a partner?
I am going to try this about right now O.o
They should have use duct tape.
Most of the world doesn't buy the story. As for me, I find physically impossible for a plane to completely pulverize a building.
oh, did the truth bother you?
The government of Hong Kong is independent of the government of China, find that information in a .ch domain and you will have a point.
ok, a hash+salt is not an option to do this, maybe it was at some point, but it isn't atm =/, the rest of the advice do applies tho.

I did get that.
What I thought about was South Park.
Of course not, I was intended to be humorous.
Aww, for a moment I thought that my country was getting a new spaceport =(

FFS, find out who she is before you call for her execution.
Now that is the definition of a self-defeating post.
Oh wait, yeah it's just a dwarf moon.

You don't realize that the economy of a country does not work in the same way than the economy of a college student. It's nothing like that, at all.
In the United States you can. (Applying for a patent on a system to fuse hydrogen into helium by gravitational force, prior art be damned).
Florian? Is that you?
