...was in conjunction with an error page which displayed the results of failed SQL.
I was able to change an innocuous 'select... from catalog where section=1' into 'select... from catalog where section=(select password from users where id=1)'.
This was nicely reported back to me as a SQL error stating that SQL was unable to convert "sdfsdfsdfsdf" into an integer, where "sdfsdfsdfsdf" was user id 1's password. I reported the problem to the site's owners, and it was still a month before they fixed it.
Moral of story - don't show the users any SQL errors, it gives them far too much information.
I like Chris Rock's solution. Make bullets cost $5000 each.
"Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystander."
For those advocating "arming everybody" you have to also look at arming the mentally ill - since you wouldn't want mentally ill people to be unable to defend themselves now would you? You wouldn't want someone to be able to just walk into an asylum and shoot all the inmates and staff just because it was a designated "gun-free zone".
Personally, I think that any civilian who wants to walk around armed is a lunatic and should by no means be allowed to carry a weapon.
Dang. Serves me right for scanning the GP. Ain't the English language wonderful when we can use the term "close" for 1.64 light years. next time my approach misses the green by about 75 yards, I'll be happy that I was relatively "close".
Peeing is no problem, I worked once in a place where the lights in the rest/washrooms came on and went off automatically. It's a disconcerting feeling when the lights blink out and leave you all alone, sitting in the pitch dark.
When you consider that the atoms that made up his body were most likely created by stellar nuclear synthesis and distributed around the universe by supernova.
If they shot my toenail clippings into space I wouldn't really feel like I had been there. No matter how many clippings were used.
If there's content that is being blocked by the GFOC, how about a concerted effort by webmasters of sites that aren't currently blocked to provide a webring of sorts to each carry some blocked content.
I'm sure this sort of thing can be organized over the net in time for - say the Beijing Olympics, when the Chinese will have world focus, and lots of other things on their hands at the same time.
Just a thought. It would need a website where you could sign up to either provide or host some content (just a page or 2 will suffice), with links to other sites. If you could "turn on" all this content at the same time, they'd be so overwhelmed that there's no way they could get round to censoring it completely.
When you figure that Microsoft will be attempting to find prior art to invalidate the patent. If they fail, they will be hosed, if they succeed then the concept is something that they will be unable to patent and therefore will be available to the open-source community.

dammit, the correct idiom would be "shit off a shovel"

The 64bit DVD torrent is going like shit of a shovel right now.

Looks like I'll have it in 4 hours.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of them...
You're forgetting that creationists have an explanation for absolutely everything.
I am _not_ making this up.
1. Build Creationism Museum in Kentucky
2. Profit!
Yikes, there's even a site devoted to it...
It would be a good start if they could even name just one patent infringed upon. Just one.
Careful! It could be a double-bluff!!
...of one of these domain names, then it really isn't going to be secure now, is it?

Cool, so we don't have to travel to the stars. If humans can wait long enough, they'll come to us!

I thought the nearest star (after Sol, of course) was Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years? Is this one closer?
I really like the 'camera-shake' introduced to the animation. Real Star Trek stuff there :)
You mean: Features Quantum Entanglement - Yes, No and Maybe.
It's easy to Google it, but let's give the attribution anyway:

Maybe they'll come up with the idea of putting virtual desktops on a cube?
But if I can imagine finding my lost car keys on Google Earth, I sure can imagine trying to find someone else's car keys on Google Earth.
