  2. Re:Am I the only one who took physics? on Indestructible Super Mug To Save Humanity · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but it's hardly likely to retain any great amount of liquid after a fall. If that were the case, we'd all be using plastic cups with heavy bases.

    The point was, the mug was still functional after the fall. You could go and make another coffee. Just be more careful this time... :)

    Although I enjoyed The Office, it never raised much more than an idle chuckle. His two stand-up videos (Animals and Politics), on the other hand, truly are brilliantly funny, and are amongst the funniest things I have ever seen.

  6. Re:No book can teach you because the bad don't rea on Essential PHP Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The worst of it is that security is non-existent. They use the old '?page=page1' in the url to switch content.

    Oh and if I see one more person use PHP native sessions I am going to kill that motherfucker.

    Do you have any examples of the alternatives? On the whole these methods seem very straightforward (and I use the first method myself) but I'd very much like to learn alternate, more secure ways of doing this kind of thing, especially as they are the most common ways to access and deliver content.

  7. Re:Wowa, on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 1

    This is more likely. I would be much more inclined to believe that germs adapted to their environment rather than instigating responses in a host. That is, the germs that lived longer after being sneezed out had more chance to propogate and infect further hosts. I just don't see 'cause host to sneeze' as being part of their genetic makeup.

  8. Re:Wowa, on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 1

    Hang on... are you suggesting that it's the germs' influence that causes the sneeze?

    I'm pretty sure that by the time you're sneezing and coughing and your nose is running, the cold has pretty much run its course. These actions are just your body's way of getting the junk out after it's dealt with it.

    Whilst sneezing is beneficial to the germ, I find it difficult to believe that it was the germ's influence.

    I may be wrong, of course. It's early and I'm hungover.

  10. Re:REALLY, REALLY important /sarcasm on Startup Prepares Cracker Attack Emulator · · Score: 1

    True, but how many companies can afford these experts? Assuming they charge (partly) by time spent on trying to crack a site, presumably not many small to medium-sized companies will pay for a full range of techniques.

    In which case, an updateable boxed package may be something they would find value in. If they pass that and still get cracked, then perhaps it would be time to call in the big boys.

    Presumably this kind of tool is also part of the toolset of security experts? I don't know, but it seems like it would be a logical starting point.

    My thoughts exactly. At least with disposable cameras, when they're developed, they're retained by whoever is developing the photos, and presumably recycled.

    Perhaps the cost of these could include return-postage to a recycling company once you're done. Surely it wouldn't take much to rebuild and resell if most of the kit were still functional, or stripped and recycled conventionally if not.

    Well, apart from using a custom hosts file, you can write extensions in Opera. Just tell it to load up user javascript. There are plenty of scripts at UserJS and, while it doesn't have the huge following that FF Extensions have, there is a script that'll block Embeds, Objects and Iframes (which I use).

    Or the:
    +1 Informative/Boring: The roof of your mouth is particularly sensitive; it's part of the body's temperature monitors. It's this sensor that triggers brain freeze when you eat something cold. The sensor thinks you're far too cold, and your brain tells blood to rush to your head. The amount of blood is higher than the veins and capillaries can take, and bottlenecks. And it hurts.
