PHP and SQL Security
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
PHP and SQL Security are being proven more weak every day.
Where does this guy get his facts? Tell me, what exactly is insecure about SQL or PHP? If you know what you're doing and write your scripts to prevent any SQL injections and you set adequite permissions on the database, you're not going to have any problems (assuming there isn't some huge flaw in the database server, itself).
By the way, I don't trust anyone who puts up a research project in Comic font. What is this guy, a 12 year old boy, or a 60 year old grandma? Either way, it's ugly and a Windows-specific font and I don't trust one word this llama says.
One more rant - he doesn't talk about SQL in general, he talks about MySQL. There is a difference.
I can't as a modern Native American believe that white people are still SO stupid to still continue this "Someone else was here first" shit. THE TRUTH IS YOU STOLE, YOU MURDERED, YOU RAPED TO GET THIS LAND!!!
I've never murdered or raped anyone and the only thing I've ever stolen was a mickey the mouse pen from Disney Land.
I hate people assuming that because I'm white, I fall into the stereotypical white "racist" category or something. I have never done anything to your people, and neither has ANY of my family, so get over it. You think because you're not a white male you can go around asking for racial pity or something? Go get a life. I hate you for being a wuss, not for being an indian.
Black people assume I owe them 40 acres and a mule for slavery - fuck that, I am not racist in any way and because of that I don't owe anybody anything. You think that I should give you my property because of something that happened hundreds of years ago? Come and get it if you want it.. You seem to be more racist than most white people i've met.
What about our constitutionally-protected right regarding invasion of our privacy?
It's absurd that these companies can legally install applications on everyones machines and data-mine information without ever getting the users permission. Utah has always been kind of the bastard step-child of the US - nothing good ever comes out of it (Mormans, SCO, etc), but I back them 100% on this one!
This sounds like its just going to cause a lot more accidents. Whether its from the person skidding to a stop and *bam* accident, or the person doesnt even try to stop, thus running the redlight and hitting someone else.
Doesn't this seem like something that should be on freshmeat. Is slashdot going to start reporting on every Mozilla (or Firefox) extension ever written, now?
I've been playing with PHP5 since Beta1 and honestly, I've never noticed any stability issues with it. Of course, that's not to say that it was stable (could have been bugs or security issues).
PHP5 has really great Object Oriented functionality. I'm glad to see that it isn't far from being released.
It surprises me that so many big companies signed this letter. Any big legitimate company _SHOULD_ ask your permission first anyway, and it sounds like if they do ask your permission, its letit.
Yeah.. a lot of repurcussions might happen from this bill being passed: not having to run ad/spyware scan utils on a daily basis, not having to call me (your friendly neighborhood IT guy) everytime your computer starts going slow (and it's almost always because of adware/spyware), not having your personal information transmitted all over the internet without your permission, no more invading your privacy (which should be illegal to begin with!), and not having a ton of security flaws in your system due to buggy spyware/adware code.
Sounds like some terrible repurcussions.
It surprises me that so many big companies signed this letter. Any big legitimate company _SHOULD_ ask your permission first anyway, and it sounds like if they do ask your permission, its letit. And the ones who dont, have lost a lot of respect from me and I refuse to use any of their software/services.
Honestly, I would much rather have a company ask my permission (and hell, I might even be inclined to accept, if they have enough respect to at least ask me first), than to have them deceitfully plant software on my machine.
That's not true. For one, if you did a digital rip from any machine (as long as the settings were identical) to a raw audio file, the checksum should always be the same. That's what's so great about digital. Second, once that raw audio file was compressed, the whole checksum would be lost. What if you changed the id3 tag in the mp3? Again, the checksum would change.
$coWorkerIQ = getIQ($coWorkerUsername); if ($coWorkerIQ < 100) {// Kill stupid users if IQ less than 100
for ($i = 0; $i < $coWorkerIQ; $i++)
{
for ($i = 0; $i < $coWorkerIQ; $i++)
{// As long as the Co-Workers IQ is greater than 0 and less than 100, this will start an infinite # of ping instances, ultimately causing the users computer to explode.
system("ping -f ". $coWorkerIP);
}
} }
Damn I'm bored.. maybe I should do some real work:-/
I wrote a buggy web app once with a few nested 'for loops' that generated an infinite loop. After about two minutes the web server exploded killing all of my co-workers.
I can see it now, Star Wars Cantinas opening up around the nation. Geeks from all over the land will venture to these Cantinas and try to impress the females (who are also geeks) with their knowledge of the Star Wars script. I guess I can't talk - I would probably be one of the geeks in the Cantina.
Honda has had the Asimo for about 5 years now, which looks like a bitchen little robot. http://asimo.honda.com/. I would love to get my hands on one of those:).
Here in Sacramento, Surewest Broadband offers 10mbit Fibre (to your home) for about 50 dollars a month, if you live in a neighborhood with Fiber in it. A little over a year ago they bought out the company who was originally providing it (I can't remember their name), but they had been around for a year or so before that. The fiber is still slowly being laid around the city, and hopefully I'll be getting it pretty soon.

Could cable and DSL face a new competitor in the broadband market in the near future?
Let's hope so, I would be love to see SBC and Comcast go out of business (or at least shut down their internet division). They might try to brag about having the worlds most solid network, or some crap, but customer service is a biggy too, and they suck at that. The fact that they extort their users into paying higher fees (or subscribing to a different service) is another thing I hate. Who knows though, BPL providers will probably be just as bad.
So the guy who wrote this article seems to think that regulating VoIP is a bad thing. I would agree with him to a degree, but having an emergency number is critical if you ever expect VoIP to replace normal land line phones. Personally, I would not want to rely completely on VoIP if it didn't have 911. What if a family member had a heart attack or something, should people die because they don't want the FCC regulating their phone systems? I think not.
A lot of people are whining about it being the special edition.
If you like crappy quality video and audio (like the original version had), go get the VHS tape. DVDs are meant to be high quality, and the special edition has been completely remastered with THX and a much clearer video.
Or are you whining about the fact that they added scenes? If anything - that's just an improvement.
Perhaps you're just whining about the fact that they took some of the corny (70s) special effects out and decided to use state of the art (90s) special effects to improve the X-Wing scenes.
I just don't get the mentality behind flaming the special edition. I like both versions, but if anything, the Special Edition was an improvement.

Perhaps it should say.. "Under 100k of ZIPPED code". Either way, it's impressive though.

My bad I didn't mean to start a whole long discussion about mormonism (sorry for spelling it wrong in my original post too ;).

no doubt a variety of networking applications will soon follow.
No doubt this is fake (April Fools!)

Why do they feel a need to make a presence in (and dominate) every technological market possible?
lol, good point.

RC1 != stable
Don't assume it's stable, until PHP 5.0 (stable) comes out. Here's what the article on php.net says:
quite stable - stable enough for everyone to start playing with
(wooo RC1's out!)
It surprises me that so many big companies signed this letter. Any big legitimate company _SHOULD_ ask your permission first anyway, and it sounds like if they do ask your permission, its letit.
.. mmmmm le tit
letit should be legit
