The fact that one of the bugs still remains from his original/2007/ Month of PHP Bugs shows that the PHP developers are clearly not doing a thorough job.
...but this sort of thing just makes me want to cry. Multiyear bugs exist in multitude. And these are just the ones they admit exists.
php 6.0 isn't even finished yet. It took years for php5 to get adopted - which isn't even available on some crappy hosts - and the inertia holding php5 is going to be that much stronger, if only because it's not in the atrocious state it was in with version 4. People aren't going to pick up version 6 on a whim, exactly for reasons like this.
Most security vulnerabilities in major php offerings these days are not php's direct fault, except perhaps as a function of the language's accessibility. If someone creates a script to allow uploading files, and sticks it on a server with both mod_php and mod_perl, and the script doesn't check non-php extensions, how is it php's fault when the server promptly gets owned?
The server owner has a responsibility not to allow one user to threaten others (by running php over FastCGI rather than mod_php), and the script author has a responsibility as a programmer to make a secure application. PHP is not where it was in the 4.x days.
Bugs in the bloated function list can last for years. Interfacing with external applications can often be incomplete - see the memcache versus memcached extensions. The best solution in one version may not be in the next, and may not even be available shortly after (see all the changes they are making to version 6).
And yet, php is good where it dominates - pulling data from MySQL and shoving it through FastCGI. If someone ends up forking php 5.3/5.4 to flesh it out as a language, I would seriously consider looking at it.
After all, they can't compete legitimately. They're still going to run into the old issue of respected laws needing to be respectable. The more onerous and invasive they get, the more people will notice.
No, it has to be used more by providers. Why does everything have a H.264 codec, because Youtube and everyone else uses H.246. What Google needs to do is to get providers to switch to VP8 and make their intentions clear to swtich off H.264. HW manufacturers will follow the providers.
I think they might just throttle it and put up a notice. They would need to let their users know that their phone is using 'outdated software' or whatever.
That does not remove Earth and other planets as valid data points. We know that Venus and Mars, if they had life at one point, don't have much now, for a variety of reasons we can only work to refine our data on.
At the same time, we can look at a number of extrasolar planets and come to similar conclusions by observation. While we can't really know until we find another world harboring complex life, we can look at an ever-increasing number of dead rocks to see what conditions are obviously unsuitable.
Titanium dioxide itself is ridiculously stable. It's what makes it so safe - we use it to whiten marshmallows for crying out loud.
How stable the structure is is an open question though, it doesn't say what frequency or intensity of light.
Making a viable third party in this country would require a staggering amount of time, effort, and money. Any such third party would have to have a pretty solid message, with some pretty solid heads on its shoulders, to have a hope of getting anywhere.
The rank level of dissatisfaction with the current party structure means that yes, it is probably possible. But if you're going to tell me to vote for and possibly help promote a third party, you'll get a much better reaction if you show me some damned smart people working on some damned smart platforms. Most third parties are not run by the best and the brightest that this nation has to offer.
I've been doing it for several years now, and it's invaluable. Something to keep in mind is that there is software that validates and cross-references zip codes, addresses, and phone numbers, which is intensely frustration. So, likewise, I've done a bit of research on my fake selves to fool that crap.

When was Facebook's database exposed?

...can be a good idea as a standard practice.

If anything it's forward thinking. Why not integrate computing power into your furniture?
It also looks rather awesome.
Microsoft's investment in Facebook aside, both Google and Facebook have lobbying teams. Few companies have the power to buy -all- of Congress.
seriously.
Here's hoping, at least.

Or was the good doctor merely going after being 'first' at something?
The Pacific Northwest doesn't need to worry about the Tsunami. That's the job of everyone else living near the Pacific.

I wonder how many people we're going to make feel old with this one.

...just use connlimit. There are some slight flaws in it but there is certainly no need to allow someone to open a thousand connections.
