Americans aren't doing shit about it and haven't had the balls to protest much of anything since the Viet Nam war.

They are stupid, frequently religious (essentially the same thing) fools who want to be entertained.
Americans are, except for a tiny few, as bad or worse than the stereotype. (None of this means foreigners are any better, BTW.)

Both Democrats and Republicans are at least as awful as they describe each other.
Too bad Flight 93 didn't slam into Congress, fuck 'em all.

The last two major organizations that fight for freedom are the NRA and the ACLU, though they only like specific, different bits of the Constitution and hate each other.

I hate to break this to you, but part of being a child is that they're not mature enough to understand the consequences of ANYTHING. Of course, this diminishes with age and exeperience. Why you're creating an artifical wall between sex and violence is not clear to me, because when talking about how much a child understands consequences, there's no difference.

...or alternatively just don't sweat about not getting jobs where the employers are a bunch of cockends when there are plenty of good employers out there if you're a smart hard working guy. Even in the recession with high unemployment I've not met any competent people out of work for more than a few months when made redundant, the long term unemployed are generally the incompetent and/or lazy.

Sorry, was that too pragmatic ;) ?

I'm not in the habit of combing through forum code looking for unvalidated inputs.

That is not the correct way to address SQL injection anyway; there will always be one that you don't check for or a textbox that slipped past your validation routines. No, the proper way to avoid SQL injection is to avoid using string operations to build your query before running it directly against the database (a common practice in cheesy php and old asp tutorials on the web). To avoid falling victim to a SQL injection attack, use either stored procedures OR parameterized statements. SQL injection is trivially simple to avoid provided that one knows about it (all web devs worth their salt should by now) and knows how to code web apps properly to avoid it (again simple).

Comment You need more stuff on the web (Score 1) 888

"I've generally tried to keep a low profile online and until recently there's been very little information about me available from the major search engines."

This is your problem. If the only thing about you on the web is this report from fifteen years ago, that's the only thing prospective employers are going to find on Google. Start a blog, use your real name in discussion groups, write letters to the editor, start a StackOverflow account under your own name (this is my highest ranking Google hit). You've got to put good stuff about you on the web if you want to drown out the bad stuff.

well they make sure someone sees the source code...

Q: Will the source code be available to the public?
A: No. The EAC will make all information available to the public consistent with Federal law. The EAC is prohibited under the Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. 1905) from making the source code information available to the public. However, the test labs will examine the source code to ensure compliance with the voluntary voting system guidelines. Test plans, test reports, and other information about the test labs and the voting system manufacturers are available on the EAC Web site (www.eac.gov).

Submission + - Supreme Court to Hear 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' Monday

theodp writes: "In 2002, 18-year-old Joseph Frederick held up a 14-foot banner saying 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' as the Olympic torch passed by his Juneau high school, sparking a feud with the principal that heads to the Supreme Court on Monday. Legal experts say Morse v. Frederick could be the most significant case on student free speech since the days of Vietnam War protests."
