Don't you mean "mysqli_real_escape_string?"

I kinda liked PHP but this stuff started to annoy me. Not only are these methods database specific, but there are tons of deprecated functions in PHP. Sure it's usable - but it's very easy to use functions you're "just not supposed to." Though perhaps that's something they're trying to change as well?

It's pretty obvious you're using "muslim" to mean "middle-eastern." Being "technically correct" doesn't really matter in casual conversation. You're a dick either way - we're just debating how to describe what *kind* of dick you are at this point.

Basically what happened was Microsoft tried to take the same keyboard/mouse interface of Windows and shove it in a portable handheld form factor. Apple realized that the UIs must be different because interactions are different between a precise keyboard/mouse and an imprecise touchscreen - things that are easy with a mouse can be quite hard with a touchscreen (drags, for example), and vice versa.

And now Microsoft has taken the same touch interface from their phones/tablets and shoved it into the desktop/laptop form factor...

This is my biggest concern with all of the crypto currencies.

I know inflation is seen as the tool of the devil today - but if you have a 200,000 BTC 30-year loan (for example) on a house that you're paying back over time then, as I understand it, it becomes in *harder* to pay it back (in 30 years the remaining value will be worth more than it was when you started rather than the other way around).
