In a way, it's too bad that Mohammad wasn't around when Christ was walking the holy land. If the Prophet of Islam had met Christ, they would probably have formed one relgion instead of two.
Excuse me? The two religions are not compatible. The only way I can make your statement work is if the "Prophet of Islam" became a Christian.
I realize that, but any half-way competent developer would
Ahh, see, there's the bad assumption. There are a LOT of really bad prograamers... nay, that's an insult to those of us who know what we're doing. I don't knwo what to call them. And they are all over the place, writing "enterprise" software. For more info, read The Daily WTF.
ow many other billionaires have given many billions of their own money for such purposes? Wait, i'll answer that: None.
Say What???? Go back to history class, I think you missed something.
There have been many Philanthropists throughout history. How about John D. Rockefeller? He was the richest man in the world for a while and gave away atr least $500 million. But take inflation into account, it's very comparable.
This is why I gripe and complain anytime I see someone doing sql calls without using placeholder routines, such as perl's DBI or PEAR::DB for php. From the technical doc that someone posted above:
If your code is doing escaping "by hand", for instance by doubling quotes and backslashes, you really need to fix it to use the library routines instead. If you're avoiding the need for escaping at all, by sending variable strings as out-of-line parameters, then you've saved yourself a whole lot of trouble and can stop worrying.
Start using a proper placeholder syntax and variable substitution for parameters when it comes to untrusted data. It solves a lot of problems.
Is it OK for someone to walk around the neighborhood and try turning all the doorknobs? How about pushing the doors open to see if they're bolted?
No, but there are neighborhood watch groups, and it is normal to call the police if a door looks like it is hanging ajar. It's also normal to petition the local government to install or repair streetlights in dark or dangerous areas. Due to the nature of computing (zombies, identity theft) I think it is very much my business to see that my neighbors are secure as well.
What's Dad got to be ashamed of? Am I the only husband/father who is proud that I am a husband/father?
Amen! Being a father is the best and most important job I can imagine. I just wish I had more children so that I *need* a minivan. Some of the minivans I've driven are quite comfy, and drive nice. Maybe after the next child, the need will outweigh the expense.:)
ISPs can do whatever they want, but I will vote with my wallet
And they are completely happy with that. If you are soaking their bandwidth 24/7, you are costing them money, and so if you leave, they *make* more money.
But surely if a resteraunt offers me all I can eat, and (assuming I was American) happen to be able to eat a wheel barrows ammount of food. Wouldn't I be entitled to?
No. They can refuse service. I worked at a pizza place where some folks were asked to not return... family of 4, ate about 7-8 pizzas off the buffet if I remember right.
I'm usually really bad at seeing the difference between fonts, and yet, I can say that the text on the left still looks horrible. You can see it most in the word "be".
because I removed a student who not only questioned my authority, but disrupted my classroom and negatively affected the learning experiences of the other twenty people in the room.
ahha! This bit of info was missing in the earlier post. Actually, this backs up the claim that the professor works for the students. In this case, one paying customer was interfering with other paying customers, so of course, you want to remove him to protect your investment in the other customers.
But if all the students think they can learn better with their laptops, and it's not disripting the other students... why bother? Sounds like they are wasting their own money at worst. In this case it sounds like the pofessor was going too far; I'd take my money elsewhere. Then the school is out of a tuition that they didn't need to lose.
It's analogous to a tech support person losing a customer for calling them stupid. Bad decision on the tech's part.... and the customer goes somewhere else.
However, most people are like sheep... and may well end up back where they started anyway.
Um, it's not. Depending on which part of the koran you read, Islam can be sightly polytheistic, and "Allah" came from the name of the "moon god". My first google search yields: this link

Wow, by rehashing the best comments, I almost see... can it be... a good article? A real editor? I don't know, this is too much of a change...

Do you get executable code in a SPREADSHEET!?!
Buffer overflows

Wow, I didn't realize Google got free bandwidth.
I wonder what he would prefer, if not Apache?
IIS? CommuniGate Pro? NCSA HTTPd?
lighttpd
Well, no argument there. But if you are going to use php, at least use placeholders!
Ubuntu only made 27th?
;)
I'm impressed. I've always hated Debian because it was arcane and hard to use/learn. Ubuntu takes all the rough edges off.
Anyway these lists are pretty subjective. Nice way to use a non-story to introduce the new layout.
1st post not talking about the new layout....
uh... wait. dang it!
PEAR::DB does this.

Google is your friend
(Yes I know how trivial it is to cancel out the "nano" in both the numerator and denominator, but google is more fun)
Doesn't AJAX mean 'Async. Java And XML'? So can you have AJAX based on something else?
JavaSCRIPT. They're not the same thing.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Who cares what color the bike shed is....

I can't seem to find my cat... have you seen it?
I used some 99% isopropyl alcohol and qtips, and wiped down all the contactors, and many games took on a whole new life.
can someone please tell him it's the same god
Um, it's not. Depending on which part of the koran you read, Islam can be sightly polytheistic, and "Allah" came from the name of the "moon god". My first google search yields: this link
Christianity and Islam are not at all compatible.
Would you pay 1c every time you opened Google's continuall-improved word processor?
In a word, NO.
Sounds like a way to get nickel and dimed to death.
