Easily parseable for you, perhaps, but if you actually ran that code using < and > in the string literal it would print literal < and > characters as text... not a script tag as it was supposed to.
Perhaps you were confusing it with HTML entities inside a string literal contained in an attribute of a tag, which do need to be escaped? E.g. <option value="<Choose…>"><Choose…></option>
Clever enough, but using MD5 is still running the slight risk of collisions... of course if you verify that the content-length is the same size too, you’re reducing the risk of collision substantially.
That is an example of two surfaces radiating heat toward each other. Yes, the net flow of heat will depend on the temperature differential between them. In space, you have no outer shell to reflect heat back inward.
Temperature difference has nothing to do with black-body radiation. Absolute temperature is all that is relevant.
Now, if you mean that, in the empty depths of space, black-body radiation is the main way that a body loses heat... absolutely. It is much more significant, in this setting, than the transfer of heat through matter itself... because there is no matter to transfer the heat with. Still, it’s not instant chilly death like the movie tried to make it seem. I don’t know if it might take minutes, or hours... but not seconds, and certainly not instantaneously.
Although a parody can be considered a derivative work under United States Copyright Law, it can be protected from claims by the copyright owner of the original work under the fair use doctrine, which is codified in 17 USC 107. The Supreme Court of the United States stated that parody "is the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works." That commentary function provides some justification for use of the older work. See Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.
A parody (pronounced/'pærdi:/; also called send-up or spoof), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation.
See, there is another difference between me and you.
When I (or one of my Anonymous Coward brethren - for we are legion) suggest that perhaps you should be “retroactively aborted” or post your fugly self and parents with “KILL IT WITH FIRE” underneath, I’m kidding. (Well, except for the part about ya’ll being fugly. Goddamn.)
When your pals the Pakis get on a vendetta to get Mark Zuckerberg executed for violating some stupid, ass-backward Pakistani law, they aren’t kidding.
YES, you would have to stalk PEOPLE. stalking an immovable camp is a contradiction in terms... AS I POINTED OUT. YOU ARE RETARDED.
Main Entry: 2stalk Function: verb Etymology: Middle English, from Old English bestealcian; akin to Old English stelan to steal — more at steal Date: 14th century
intransitive verb 1 : to pursue quarry or prey stealthily 2 : to walk stiffly or haughtily transitive verb 1 : to pursue by stalking 2 : to go through (an area) in search of prey or quarry <stalk the woods for deer> 3 : to pursue obsessively and to the point of harassment

The students have submitted their site as a candidate for imaging by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. HiRISE can image the surface at about 30 centimeters (12 inches) per pixel, which may allow a look inside the hole in the ground.
With a resolution of 0.3 meters... I hope they share their results if they are able to get the site imaged.
Well, yes, except that there was not just one black hole but rather a whole bunch of them relatively close together. You can either go waaaaaaay round the whole entire thing at a safe distance, or you can fly smack dab through the middle of them, weaving your way just between the surrounding black holes along a twisting path where their forces pretty much cancel each other out. Needless to say this is a very thin line. With a really souped up engine, you can cut corners, but it’s dangerous... get too close to a black hole, and—
It screwed up for me, too. Ctrl-F5 didn’t help, and nothing in the D2 configuration settings seemed to help.
This is how I was able to finally fix it:

Do you think your fridge is cold because it's windy? When you sit near a fire and it's hot do you blame it on the wind?
No, but black-body radiation didn’t have much to do with it either. You are failing to account for one of the primary means of heat transfer.
When something hot is touching something cold, heat can transfer directly from one to the other. The air in your fridge is in physical content with the fridge’s contents; the air surrounding the stove is both in contact with the stove and you. The air surrounding that stove is carrying a lot of heat away from it... in space, there is absolutely no air, and that stove would stay hot for a very long time.
This is the entire premise of the heat-sink: Heat is generated in a small area faster than it can be removed via black-body radiation, or even safely absorbed by the mass surrounding the heat source. So you put a heat-sink on it, which is able to rapidly remove heat from that small area and spread it over a very large surface area; this large surface area can then transfer the heat into the air surrounding it. A large surface area was required to safely transfer that much heat into the air, and the heat-sink served to rapidly spread the heat out to achieve this large surface area.
A fluid is even better at transferring heat than a solid, because it actually creates its own currents. Ever seen a lava lamp? You can actually watch the heated fluids transferring heat away from the bulb underneath.
I had about the same reaction. Well, that and the otherwise generally-inaccurate science, such as the astronaut wrapping himself in insulation to protect him from the cold of deep space.
In reality, without any atmosphere to draw heat away from him via convection, he would really only lose heat via black-body radiation. Sure, the virtually-nothing of space is nearly absolute zero, but that is only because there is virtually nothing but empty space to absorb the heat from the sunlight... and by the same token it cannot absorb the heat from your body either. It is a common misconception.
Are we are going to get the same piss-poor treatment of science in this one?
Like I said... iTunes actually seems to have gotten it right, for a change.
Although I really can’t agree with your comment about having to re-download the same song repeatedly due to bad copies. I don’t think I’ve ever had to download a song more than, oh, say twice.

Disregard my prior post. Wrong thread!

I cannot hear you due to your 0 karma.
You also know the angle of the sun at the time of the photo and measure the lit (or unlit) area below the hole
Check the photo, it’s a featureless black splotch. I posted a couple of links up above.
True, but I still am betting that the window of opportunity to get the right angle would simply be too small.
Assuming vertical wall, you won’t be able to see them. You’re looking down.
Plus, the camera is using thermal imaging, so a moving shadow wouldn’t show up well.
They were using thermal imaging, not visible light.
Did you see the original image? The hole is about 9x11 pixels square. That’s a pretty rough guess, if it’s what they’re working off.
That was from the University press release, by the way, not the cnet article.
Apparently they want a closer look:
The students have submitted their site as a candidate for imaging by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. HiRISE can image the surface at about 30 centimeters (12 inches) per pixel, which may allow a look inside the hole in the ground.
With a resolution of 0.3 meters... I hope they share their results if they are able to get the site imaged.
I looked at the pictures, and it seems that they had a bug on the lens.
In all seriousness, though, I wonder how they can determine the depth of the hole, just from the surface characteristics?
Well, yes, except that there was not just one black hole but rather a whole bunch of them relatively close together. You can either go waaaaaaay round the whole entire thing at a safe distance, or you can fly smack dab through the middle of them, weaving your way just between the surrounding black holes along a twisting path where their forces pretty much cancel each other out.
