BTW, I quote spam because it doesn't qualify if someone chooses to receive it. It is only spam if it is pushed on a user unrequested. Losing that distinction muddies an extremely important issue about our right to control what communication we receive.
Sure but if you think you are getting one thing, like a brittney spears video, and instead you get some promo video for some porn site, then that qualifies as spam yes?
Sounds like a thinly vailed advert to me. We get it, your daughter learned about life and you learned about your daughter all wrapped up in a half an hour of gaming. Just like "Happy Days"
While I agree the parent deserves "-1 Stupid", I wouldn't go saying his comments are stereotyping. I mean, how many men do know who would take advantage of a calorie counter?

Dude. It's a big country and the US armies have only been there for a month or two. Give them some time to find something. Plus, who says they will report what they find right away to the general public.
how can this post be modded as troll when he has a very valid point?
Easy, because the same could be said of ASP,.NET, VBScript, and yes PERL. I have seen plenty of bastardized perl. Yes perl monkeys, people can abuse your shitty language too. You can write shitty code in ANY language. (visual c++ comes to mind)
In the same sence that scaring the birds in the park qualifies as manipulation. It's not the same thing as breaking through the security of the matrix itself.
Wouldn't that be _cracking_?

Move out of your parent's basement and take your fucking penguin t-shirt off, nobody cares that you like linux, especially your non-existant girlfriend.
But the key point is...it's only a fucking benchmark. Who cares anyways. Just another reason to never trust benchmark programs. I don't care how well a card performs on a benchmark since I don't PLAY benchmarks.
You are comparing the.com industry to the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry has proved time and time again that is not comparable to most other industries.
In order to get money to develop an entertainment product, let's say a record, you must first prove you can sell it. Why? Because there are a million bands just like you. It's not the music that sells, it's the idea and image that sells. You can go see shitty versions of Matchbox 20 at your local bar everywhere in America. It's just all the bullshit that makes them rich and famous. Even the Beatles were sold this way. (counter-culture style and all)
Video games are the same. There are a million code monkeys out there that can design and build games, but they have nothing because either they have no good ideas or cannot pull together the resources to get their vision "produced".
What I was trying to point out is that sometimes, you need the "idea men" to deal with the bullshit involved in producing entertainment. I both write code and play music so I kinda understand how both industries work and I don't think of it as a bad model. I mean, I want NOTHING to do with sales meetings as a code monkey and nothing to do with setting up a production schedule as a drummer. (cue "idea man" [bullshit artist])
That is all true. But the fact is that you don't always need all that stuff. The reason that MySQL is so popular is that it is simple and easy. If you need more than it can offer, use something else.
I fully agree. I am working on a huge ASP project that some dumb ass wrote without knowing anything about what he was doing. Now the financial data for the last 5 years is totally inaccurate all due to bad input.
If there are errors in your script PHP will just continue to run the script. If you are lucky you see a warning. If there is an error in a INSERT or UPDATE MySQL query it will just insert a similiar value. E.g. if you try to insert "45JF" in an integer column MySQL will insert "45" and won't give an Error.
You're a dumb ass. You can set the error handling in PHP quite easily and if you're stupid enough to not check your input before you do an insert then you deserve what you get.

Ok. So I spelled veiled wrong. You got me. But advert is a perfectly cromulent word.

Good for you.

C'mon dude....

So I guess perl is a part of apache too then eh?...
http://perl.apache.org/
People still use perl? I thought it died in the big explosion at the punctuation factory....

Well, no one is going to be around to point out the inaccuracy so like....

It's funny because it's true.
Doesn't the mere fact that they were manipulating the matrix to do what they wanted it to do qualify as a hack?
Maybe one thing they can due? is spell. You should look into it here.
I bet you do really well in the text based world.
But the key point is...it's only a fucking benchmark. Who cares anyways. Just another reason to never trust benchmark programs. I don't care how well a card performs on a benchmark since I don't PLAY benchmarks.
Hacking is nice but what I really need is someone to get to work on _cracking_ Enter the Matrix. ($50??? really????) (my video card only cost $70)
less technical assets, more people in the field.
And you're qualified to make that assessment how exactly?
Where the fuck is the security hole?
Actually that's kinda false. It wasn't the design of the software that fucked napster it was the design of the SYSTEM.
In SOVIET RUSSIA, space looks for YOU.
