PHP.net Compromised

· Score: 1
There is an RFC (at affected PHP.net site), which discusses the idea of named parameters for PHP 5.6. The proposal suggests that you would be able to use both named parameters and non-named parameters in the same function, but specifies that all functions using a mix must declare the order-dependent params before declaring any named params so that the interpreter knows how to handle the two.
What if this person who believed in ID also happened to agree with the evidence that the earth is billions of years old? There are people out there who believe in the principles of science and also believe in God. Not everyone who is a Christian has the same basic premise about the age of the earth and the nature of creation. Further, as was stated earlier, belief in God does not preclude the ability to do scientific research. While this bill may not be going about it the right way, the general premise is that it is possible to be a scientist and believe in God. As others have said, this may backfire on the creationists such that other religions are able to capitalize on this as well–that would not be a bad thing.
The goal I believe is to support freedom both of religion and employ, such that a person is not disqualified for a job simply based on religious views. To speak of competence in that field is another issue. In academic circles, competence would mean the ability to exist and work in an environment where different viewpoints exist. One may disagree with certain viewpoints, but they should still be able to discuss the merits and shortfalls of all positions. The teacher is there to give students the tools they need to make their own informed, reasoned decisions not to dictate which positions the student should take.
Got a 502 error on far7 and two of the others didn't load. I opened up web snooker only to be told that my Webkit nightly of Safari isn't supported and I need to "update it." The only one that worked for me was z-type–fun, but only for a little while.
How frequently do they make copies? Assuming they make a copy on a consistent enough basis, they could chart the entropy and thus always calculate back to the original weight.
I have just started to attempt to learn Drupal, and on the surface, it looks really great, but a lot of things are difficult to get working correctly. The appeal for me was not having to build user management and CMS features that already exist elsewhere and probably have more features than I can afford to build. The unfortunate thing is that to get those features, I have to give up a properly designed database. While writing custom forms to work with my data took some time, it's taken me longer to try and get views to accomplish the same thing I can do with a few fairly straightforward SQL queries. Drupal has great potential, a huge community and a lot of extensibility that are easy to tap into for novices–which are great features to have, once I have the few custom features I need in place, but getting my customizations in place is worse than when my appendix burst.
My ideal CMS handles user management/roles/acces control and has the ability to create/edit static pages, and gives me an easy way to integrate my own application. Is there anything out there like that? I tried CodeIgniter, it was fairly easy to use, but doesn't seem to have pre-roled CMS I can use on top of my app–I'd have to build it all from scratch. I need something half way between Drupal and raw PHP, haven't found it yet.
One of the difficulties I face as someone with bad eyesight is "mobile friendly" sites that disable zooming–it's a usability nightmare. A font like this would be impossible for me to read without the ability to zoom, and as you mentioned, it looks terrible when you zoom in. I could live with it, but I think there are better alternatives.
As an aside, if you have disabled zooming on your sites or know someone has, please re-enable it for us visually impaired folk.

Which still results in someone simply needing to find a hash = hash(password+salt). No matter how many characters you throw at it, as long as you're relying on some form of hash, only the output has to be the same and that is all.

Cal Naughton, Jr.: Those are three pretty good things.
The latest gens of macs are already using something like this. I can manage apps/windows with four fingers, use three fingers for navigation, two for contextual menus and document manipulation. It's not fully customizable, and it isn't entirely native (not all apps make use of gestures), but I think it is clear evidence that technology is moving this way anyhow.
Personally, I'd like an agnostic input surface that can be used for keyboard input and multitouch gestures. That way, I don't have to move my hands anywhere to change from one function to another.
Holy cow I just had an idea! What if we made a way for news agencies to post little "abstracts" of their articles in one central "page" Then we could link these abstracts to a full-fledged article. This way, people could browse all of the articles at once. No more flipping pages looking for flipping articles.
The same goes for movies projected in 3D using polarized light: as long as you wear the glasses, your sighted eye will only see one picture and you won't be able to tell the difference (it'll look just like a normal movie to you).
That's my problem with this tech-it looks just like any other 3D to me, it's nothing special. At least this is one area in which I won't be overcome by my obsession with new tech. Hopefully by the time this tech becomes commonplace they'll have figured out a way to stop this from inducing headaches in those of us who cannot process the effect.
I'd love to give you my ideas on the matter, but I'm worried you might steal them. Maybe if you email me your ideas I can tell you whether they're worth getting an expert opinion on.

VItamin D can be found in mushrooms, fish and several other foods.
Seriously, I'm surprised no one has mentioned libraries as a public space with internet access and no obligation to purchase anything.
It is pretty good, but does have bits like lines 81-87 of photoshop.r:

#else

Can you be more clear? You can browse the store without being logged in or even having an iTunes account–is that not window shopping?
Wow, I have the same model MBP with only 4gb of ram and a 320gb hard drive, and my fans didn't even kick on.
I ran this on Webkit nightly (version 534.15) twice.
1. 10202
2. 9929
I got those numbers with Mail, iTunes, MAMP, and eight other apps running.
Hmm, must be a webkit thing then since I'm running Safari.

Yeah, just like the way they deleted the Ewok song from the end of last DVD of RotJ. Yeah, that was some great editing there! Bleh!
But, there's an app for that!
Now, I think this is just as cool as the next guy, but this isn't all that new. There is the Wordpress CLI, and others I'm sure.
You mean F-zero? Yeah that game was pretty rad!

I'm hoping we'll see calculation times down to a grand quantum tick before I die.
p.s. for the life of me I can't remember the name of that valley of time you enter if you slice thin enough. Pratchett fans?
