    I'm getting "please install this update for bank X" for several months now and they usually link to a site that uses Joomla.
    I'm reading about this super SQL injection for several days now, but what I would like to know is what kind of sites are targeted this time. Who should be worried? Who should spend some extra time upgrading or hardening their sites?

    best argument still is that you don't shit in your living room or store it in your shed.
    we know how to deal with shit and so we use the toilet.
    we still have no solution for dealing nuclear shit.
    the best one so far is bury. but that still leaves us with massive amounts of pure shit.

    From my other post: If he's using it since he was 9 the essence is probably not too difficult. Let's say a variation of pig Latin. (-be -se)
    He might have made some refinements over the years, but the concept probably stayed the same.

    ROT-McCormick maybe? I'd think if it was a substitution system, mathematical analysis would already have shown something like that.
    Part substitution, part something else?

  16. Re:Nuts. on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    A big tool kit might help, but having a lot of tools doesn't make you a good developer, so yes :)
    If you want use WCF (to name one thing) you still need to know what soap is, know about authentication and authorisation and so on to be able to use it. You can de the same thing without WCF, but good luck spending a lot of time developing your own framework. And debugging it.

    The nuts fit the CEO who thinks if you use a big fancy language, you can't develop.

  17. Nuts. on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    A programming language is a tool. Some programming languages have a bigger tool kit than others, but in the end it's all about understanding what you're making and knowing how to do that.

    The "fancy" parts of the tool kit, for the things I develop, is only required for a small part of the solution, but that probably depends on the field you're working in.

    And to question #4. Once I'm working somewhere and I'm happy there I'll be more than glad to help recruit more people. Until that time I'll be more than glad to bill for the recruiting that I do for you.

  23. Re:Considering ..... on Japan Battles Partial Nuclear Meltdown · · Score: 1

    The waste is a problem indeed.
    Safety. The reactors are quite safe indeed. The problem is only when it goes wrong, it REALLY goes wrong.

    Cars, smoking and drinking cause WAY more fatalities than nuclear energy. And terrorism.
    Thing is terrorism and a nuclear meltdown are much more terrifying so we don't want these.

    But from the site of the CDC:

    # The adverse health effects from cigarette smoking account for an estimated 443,000 deaths, or nearly one of every five deaths, each year in the United States.2,3

    # More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.2,4

    We should be more afraid of tobacco. But we aren't.
