Always sanitize user-inputted data before displaying it on screen (strip_tags)
Except strip_tags will not save you in all cases. As a matter of fact, it's probably better to never use that function.
This is why PHP is viewed as insecure - it puts in tons of these pitfalls, and makes it LOOK like you're doing the right thing, while you are actually happily shooting yourself in the foot.
The rest of the Kindle interface is entirely visual, so I doubt any blind people will be using it in the first place. Text-to-speech isn't much use if you can't navigate to the option to turn it on, or select a book for it to read.
I am talking specifically about Japan, you know. You don't live in Japan, and "the vast majority of cell phone users" don't either. And the vast majority of JAPANESE cell phone users certainly don't use SMS, which was the whole point.
Japan has never even used "text messaging" as in the horribly lame and limited SMS - they use normal email for that. I don't think anybody is missing some kludgy extension to a protocol they never used in the first place, either.
Look, you can either swear, or not. Either one is just fine, this is the grown-up internet. But that kind of weasling where you want to swear but don't really dare to is just pathetic.
There's no need to speculate what it will turns out to be, because it's well known what it is: Tracks from sonar runs by ships. You can see them all over the map.
As a bonus, you're almost guaranteed for this thing to ONLY fail when you're NOT over water, eliminating the only chance you have of surviving that big of a fall.
You could just, you know, not try to fly over land.
Oh, yes, that works well to track a small, high velocity object in a similarly cluttered field.
It is exactly the high velocity that makes it so easy to track. It would stand out like a sore thumb on doppler radar. And since you only care about bullets aimed at you, it will also be almost stationary in the radar's field of view.
It's not like limiting yourself to 32bit is going to magically make it faster
Actually, it is going to make it faster. 64-bit code generally isn't as fast as 32-bit code due to larger data transfers being required.
However, you are entirely correct that 32 bits is nowhere near enough these days. It's not just physical memory size - it's also stuff like mmap() being far more useful on 64-bit architectures.
DDT is banned for agricultural use. And as it happens, agricultural use of DDT breeds DDT-resistant mosquitoes, and makes DDT a less effective weapon against malaria.
Not only that, it's entirely possible he may be right.
Unfortunately, this is far less likely. His ideas are based on really simple mathematical mistakes, and it should be fairly obvious why he is not right, if one just wants to look critically at what he is saying. The problem is that his tales are fascinating enough that people don't want to find out they are not true.
Thanks for these very important updates on how we should be manipulated! I was kind of feeling like I was thinking a bit too much on own, but finally I get some more ads to dull the senses and reinforce that conformity!
Slashdot Mirror
Code Geass was planned from the start to be two seasons, like many Sunrise shows.
(And the second season was still horrible, geez.)

No, but taking blatantly obvious bait like "Linux Torvalds" sure does.

B*t*h.

The browser has been "tightly integrated into the operating system" for years and years. Welcome to THE YEAR 2000.
Too late!

It's not an anomaly and not really interesting. It's just sonar tracks. You can find them all over the map if you just zoom in and scroll around.
The person quoted is Japanese, in case you didn't notice.

Since it doesn't work.
Isn't this something like the third "second Android phone" announced so far?
Luckily, it also happens to be the truth.
It's only propaganda if you don't like what it says, huh.
What did you think that "giant, cartoon stomping feet" was a reference to, anyway?

And every normal OS "reinvents" filesystems, then?
The guy must be just another cracked out developer..
None of the ideas in this OS are new. They have been around for decades. He's just taking one more shot at implementing and popularizing them.
Nobody said that this OS is suddenly incapable of serializing data to a byte stream.
DDT is not banned for anti-malarial use.

but the idea is absolutely intriguing.
This is why people want to believe it.

You know, the absolute basics of manipulating someone is making them think they're not being manipulated.
