In a few decades, the Robotic Feminist Movement will inevitably push "android" and "gynoid" onto the euphemism treadmill for being too gender-specific. Equality for robots of all shapes!
I don't understand why placeholder arguments aren't used 100% of the time a string is placed into a SQL query. It's completely baffling. Were that the case, SQL injection attacks would be totally infeasible, excepting even dumber TheDailyWTF-grade scenarios like having clients send SQL to the server. I suspect that PHP doesn't have them (or makes them harder to use), which would explain why it's such a horrible language.
As for validating emails, check that there's at least one @ and that the part after the final @ has at least one dot in it, and you're good to go. No regular expressions required!
If you're really dead set against replacing or rewriting any libraries, the only way to improve your odds is to use the biggest, oldest, kitchen-sinkiest, most bloatiest library you can find.
And people call me crazy for embedding Emacs in everything I write!
If you register as an independent, you do not participate in the primary election [...]
Like just about everything else concerning elections in the US, this depends on the state. In my state (North Carolina), Independents can vote in any party's primary (though only one party per year), which makes it a very attractive option.
The problem is, as always, with the humans: when was the last time you saw an actual application that used instances for scalar dimensions? I've never seen one, because the laziest (and therefore most productive) thing to do is to use a bare integer and just agree on what unit system to use.
They wouldn't have to sue you because the device would refuse to operate. So unless you particularly like putting plastic bricks into your shoes just to show the establishment who's boss, you'd be better off using an approved shoe or a less encumbered technology. Of course, this assumes that the article is correct about the intent of the patent, which seems like a bit of a long shot.
Most recovery services are just "undeleting" files - e.g. locating the fragments of files that have been marked as unused and assembling them, then charging exorbitant rates for their work. dd writes directly to the device by bypassing the filesystem, so everything is, as far as the hard drive's firmware is concerned, gone. In order to get any bits back after zeroing like that, you'll need to open drive and peer at it through really expensive equipment, because the drive wrote those zeroes and it would be broken if it read back anything but zeroes.
Don't worry, some discredited scientists will find a way to pin the sunspot shortages on human activity so we can go back to our regularly scheduled societal self-flogging.
They gave away Microsoft's private keys to someone who called them [...]
This is odd because CAs should never have a copy of their client's private keys in the first place. The only party that should ever be in possession of a private key is the subject of the certificate, which in this case would be Microsoft. I suppose that due to incompetence and/or legal liability, Verisign must have been the ones to generate the key in the first place.
On an unrelated note, it's somewhat thought-provoking that the certificate authority micro-industry exists solely to fund its own audits.
Don't worry, whatever this "linux" thing is, it can't possibly run without an Operating System to support it, e.g. Microsoft Windows®. All applications require an Operating System to run, including "linux".
I'm sure you'll encounter a number of hash collisions
Understatement of the year. Note above where I approximated this number as 2 ^ 1073741696---about 0.999999985 GiB of information. That's barely less than you started with, and plenty with which to make all kinds of different, perfectly valid documents, of any type or content desired. Simply take any file and append random data until the digest matches the original. There are dozens of file formats where you can do this and still get a well-formed document. Does the digest match? Yes. Was it your original file? Probably not, and by "probably" I mean "so improbable as to be effectively impossible".
That's not entirely unlike the decentralized tracker system Bit-torrent clients have implement of late.
Magnet links work because there are specific, existing entities out there that have a given digest, and you're just looking for someone who has the file. You're not conjuring the file out of thin air; the digest is just a key you use to ask others for the document. If you wanted to write a system that works by storing encrypted chunks of data spread across a large mesh of nodes, well let's just say that's been done already, but it's not called ECC. In fact, didn't Google come up with some kind of system like that a few months ago? Haven't heard a peep about it since then, and I've forgotten the name already.
If there was some sort of insane scenario where you had to reconstruct a complete 1GB block from a single MD5 hash... (ie, "here's an MD5 hash. Give me a sequence of 1073741824 bytes to make it") well it's technically possible
Curious... how do you intend to reconstruct 1073741824 bytes from a 16 byte message digest? That's 2 ^ 8589934592 possibilities, of which approximately 2 ^ (8589934592 - 128) satisfy any given message digest. It's possible to brute-force something, but it's not possible to get the original thing without more information (like 1GiB of information)

18 bits and below is a convenient requirement to set for someone with a 17.8 bit UID.

Patents restrict who can manufacture and sell something, not who can use it or how.

Power distribution is a fun problem to have. It's surprising how much cable costs when it has to carry 200 amps.

A significant improvement. Captain Picard would approve.
