Having been in this position, the thing that bother me is not the material loss of the laptop (though It would be nice to know they stole junk) but the data contained on it. So long as your drive is encrypted, then this thing is a bonus
I accept php is not awesome, but what is it that is being made hard, and is it something relevant in a language that is(should be) being used to generate dynamic (x)html?
With regard to the case in point it's certainly not hard to use mysqli and prepared statements .
Soory for the double post, but I have just noticed that the story is talking about the "Government Gateway" which I have the unfortunate mispleasure of having to use.
The huge irony is that I am having a dig at 'users' circumventing security, whilst at the same time having to record my username and password (albeit not using a post -it) for this particular system, because the government gateway sees fit to not let you choose either, and instead issues you with:
username: AX58HJP7PR password: Y734BTRT9J
(sorry if that is anyone's btw!)
Making it almost impossible to remember.
The password 'reminder' process then relies on you answering a bunch of questions about your company to get one half of the new password, the other half is sent to your registered e-mail.
Convoluted? They wrote the book.
In any case- the worst someone could do when they log in is pay your tax for you!
They could split the scren vertically, then Height isn't an issue.
Provided people are able to stand in front of the machine (i know, the level of technical expertise we IT folk demand of people is just so unreasonable! Is this thing even switched on....?) neither should the X-Axis be.
I'm all for home-brew, and Nintendo trying to block it is one thing (a bad thing imho).
Whether or not they make a profit on each unit sold is another thing. You can't criticise a business for turning a profit on the products it sells just because its competitors are daft enough to sell at a loss!
I hate the oft used "But I only use my computer for internet and e-mail" that people constantly tell me when I advise them on what spec hardware they need.
People just won't accept that their spunky new "vista" laptop thay are planning on buying is going to be crap unless thy get some dual core with min 2gig, and preferably dedicatd graphics (oh you dont play games? my ass you won't)
Their logic is that "they don't need to do all that complex stuff that you do". ORLY?
Funny, I can run a full LAMP stack with X, and vi on a P3 with 256meg of ram. Let me know how all that rich multimedia content that's 'only internet and eamil' does on a similar spec, and then tell me again that what I do needs more grunt./rant over
i'll lend my voice to the freedns supporters. Had 6 or 7 domains with around 30 or so subdomains for going on 6 years. Been rock solid, really good web interface, with DNS config options I never even heard of (I'm a DBA I just about get cnames and mx!)
I have this ludicrous idea that only 5% of users won't like it, and that it *might* just be the 5% consuming 50% of the bandwidth. Some people say am crazy though.

Depends what you mean by useless.

I think you need to find different friends
Corporation Tax, VAT and Employer's PAYE.
I can assure you that I'm quite correct, Even though we both appear to be using the 'giving blood' section

I wish people would stop blaming php. Bad programmers write bad code regardless of language.
have root?
set it in /etc/passwd
username:x:100:1::/home/username:/usr/bin/bash
I think its something to do with the PEBKAC issue.

It's insecure because the default user response to this kind of 'security' is to affix said passwords to screen using a post-it note.
Admittedly, that isn't the system itself being insecure per se...

In fact, one of the great things about 'community' is that its not just gimmick.
Depending on your propensity for tinfoil headwear, I would be happy to mail you a copy.
In china its 8.
7 is certainly UK, and possible elsewhere.
My language uses an interpreter you insensitive clod!
I considered modding you funny, but felt the irony might be missed!
You have to be kidding me? Surely the 80's wannabe AI script they have up on there website isn't the real thing?
I just assumed they put up some "Ask Anna" (see: Ikea) clone, as a bit of fake publicity and the real thing was only wheeled out for the competition.
If that abomination really managed to convince 25% of the testers that it was human, then god help us all.
Easiest 'solution' I've read so far! Bravo.
I'm waiting for S3.11

No, they come once a month!

Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found.
interesting.
Or just charge per friggin' GB downloaded.

Hmm tricky, Does it have something to do with hopping not walking?
Hey, Maybe that's what MS is trying to do? God bless them!
