Being inherently lazy and tired of recoding stuff when adding fields in SQL and ASP (and also because this is all internal stuff for my company and I don't have to worry about performance issues), many of my ASP pages use the following script to write the data after a form is submitted.
For Each TheData in Request.Form
if (left(TheData,3)="sql") AND (Request.Form(TheData).Item "") then
FieldName = Right(TheData,(len(TheData)-3))
rsEFSOs(FieldName) = Request.Form(TheData).Item
Next
so for every field in the html form that starts with "sql" it then assigns the value of the form field directly to the field value in the recordset. So if they do try sql injection, all it does is store the sql. Although I am sure there is a way around what I have done, it allows for people to put in quotes and all that other crap which would normally break a directly executed sql string (like Note fields where people type in it's and their's and the customer's).
But don't use for outside facing websites and such. As you are exposing the field names in your table and whatnot. Or for any site that needs to write data more than 5 times per hour.:-P
Completely irrelevant. Cell phone radiation intensity is already miniscule compared to the ambient radiation we receive from space and our surroundings.
Eh? Do you mean current cellphones, or all cellphones in general? I have used two NEC 21" monitors for the past 5-7 years. Up until the last change in phones (CDMA, GSM, who knows), everytime one of those damned Nokia's rang my monitor would act like it was degaussing. I don't know if that was when they switched from analog to digital or whatever, but if a cellphone can make my monitor shake and turn funny colors from 15 feet away, it is NOT outputting less than normal ambient radiation.

Destroying it completely may be ok, since you have no evidence it happened.
My friend has a mini cnc machine from MAXNC here in Arizona. He makes rc parts for cars, helicopters, etc... I got interested in it (although I still don't have the money to buy one) and did some research into the various cnc processes. Go to 3D Systems, you will see they have SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) which allows you to make stuff with A6 steel. And 3d printers for other stuff.
So the technology is available now. Not cheap, but is it here.

I had my NEC 5D (19" I believe) on my kids pc last week until it started to make popping noises. $2300 in 1991 or 1993, I'm not home now to check the date. Worked fine at 1024x768x75Hz. Kinda sad it died. I may try to fix it anyways..31 dot pitch, but still should work great as a MAME arcade monitor. I got them a MAG 17" monitor for $99 and $20 rebate from Best Buy as a replacement.
Three times? It sounds like there is one place you shop at that has an inside guy stealing cc numbers. The odds for you to have had your card number stolen 3 times over the internet are miniscule, unless you are paying for porn sites using your cc.;-p
Ok, I am "American", (well, Taiwanese, Russian, and Jewish), and finished Calculus A/B in high school. I have not had to do much advanced math at all, but cannot for the life of me figure out what the use of finding the smallest Sierpinski number is. Real or imaginary. Can I come up with some arbitrary equation and then put my name on it so it sits in the annals of math history for all time? Or does the equation have to have something = 1 somewhere?
Not trying to be sarcastic, but I have seen tons of "math theorems" and I guess I am not geeky enough to understand the point. It is not like using integration to infinity to find the area underneath a curve. I did glance through Chris' website but the only thing I can figure out is that maybe it helps with encryption? How?
BTW, I am in Arizona, USA. I guess since I lived in Taiwan and saw lots of Japanese arcade stuff, this may be different for more European type people. I personally don't find it an "oddity"
I have a hard time understanding the news potential. Every arcade type game comes out on a home console sooner or later. Lightguns, the dance dance revo pad, etc... The local arcade has a drum arcade game and an electric guitar one also. I am not surprised that they would make something similar for home consoles.
I just have one of my kids hit the keyboard. I don't agree to anything. It isn't like a car, where you have responsbility for the driver since you have control over the vehicle. The next thing I am going to do is setup a secondary keyboard or something on the floor and just put a dog snack on there when I need to click on a EULA. "I'm sorry your honor, I did not agree to the terms and conditions, I did not read them and do not know the contents. Fido may though."
I do not understand this obsession with tiny form factors. CF is about the minimum easily handled size storage medium. Memory stick is so-so, but feel quite breakable. SD (24mmx32mm)and XD engineers should have gotten a clue. SD cards are barely finger manageable, and xd is so freaking stupidly small that they should have fired all the idiot marketing and engineering geniuses who came up with it. It is barely larger than a US penny. With "potential" to go up to 8GB. Well, my wife has potential to go to a bra size of 50G but you don't see me paying for that do you?
I don't think I ever had 720Kb 5.25's. I had 1.2MB and 360KB drives. Before that on my trusty Radio Shack Trash-80, I had a cassette tape drive and a stringy floppy. How many of you have heard of a stringy floppy before? It was a business card sized tape that was endless loop IIRC. About 1/8" thick, the tape was 1/16" thick. See TechWeb for definition, the cool manual here, an old Creative Computing article, and great scans of an old review here.
I was so l337 with my trs-80, expansion board, and stringy floppy. I was so sad when my space invaders game (galactic something?) got eaten by that damn drive.
Sprint used to be one out here in AZ. It was Speedchoice, now Sprint Broadband Direct. They still support older customers but are no longer taking on new ones due to the lack of an "optimum cost structure." It is a line of site service, so there is a diamond shaped antenna which points at an array on a mountain. Rain fade hasn't been a problem, trees growing are. Since it is a microwave system they have an fcc license or something for each installation. But the cost is only $44.95/month, six email accounts with web sites through earthlink, slow upstream speed though (Easynews using Newsbin Pro at an average of 4.5Mbps. Online gaming is ok once the command rates are tweaked a bit. And I don't have to deal with the cable company, the local phone company (Qwest, which sucks donkey balls), or an expensive two-way satellite. Too bad they are not installing customers, they skip the whole last mile link since the line of sight range is over 50 miles iirc.

The Life of a Spammer

· Score: 2, Interesting
>I'm surprised I haven't heard of anyone running an operation to automatically read those addresses and fill in lots of webforms requesting free catalogues!
I was fed up with a certain set of mortgage spam that I wrote a vb app that used the browser object to open up the spammer's web site, then proceed to fill in the information with random stuff, but had the area codes match the zips and states. I let it run and put about 40-50,000 false entries into 3 or 4 websites. Pretty funny, IMHO. The nice thing about wrapping the browser object in vb is that you can load the page and then remove the validation code that loaded with the page. So this works equally as well with sites that do the credit card verification before it does a submittal. I had a site on geocities a while back but they deleted my program and the site for some reason. I called it "spam the spammer". Unfortunately, now most spammers embed a tracking link into the url so they can link the hit back to an email address. But if we had an open source project to collect the identifiers from spam trap addresses we could really screw up the spam operations. I don't think mortgage companies like getting 10,000 false leads.

Two kids, one wife, four dogs. Although four wives, one kid, and two dogs could work also. Seriously though, I have other hobbies, including woodworking, electronics (although not on the scale to allow me to make a robotic changer as some have suggested), photography, etc... My next big thing to buy is a desktop cnc mill such as the one here. But everything costs money. Although I did trade my father a working 27" tv for his Mitsubishi 60" which I think only has to get degaussed. But he didn't want to spend the money so free 60" tv for me. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't.

My dad's autoshop had the same thing for the Mitchell car repair manuals. It started fitting into one 6 disc cartridge. Then it grew to 2 cartridges. Now, the whole system is 17 CD's! You know what a pain in the ass it is to keep cartridges or cd's clean in an autoshop? Especially when the tech has to switch the cartridges to get to the correct year/make/model?

But someone came up with this and it got manufactured. Not that it sells well. It doesn't even read the media!!! I am sure it would cost sony a whole 1 hour of engineering to convert their dvd players to be computer compatible.
The point is that the Sony system is not really bulky compared to the stuff you normally see on the net. It is not that much taller than a a dvd (5"?) and is the same width as a stereo component. Other storage systems anywhere from 4 to 50 times larger, and do not have the same storage density.
