The flaw lies in an API that is specifically designed to help prevent against SQL injection attacks.

You had one job!

I've used the Speakeasy Speed Test in the past. I'm currently on a T1 connection and just got a reading of 1.5 Mbps upload and download speed, which is right on the money.

I don't know about you, but when I boil water, I bring it to a boil, to nearly 100 degrees Celsius. I don't let it all evaporate away!

Yes, people breathing creates carbon dioxide and plants use it. But you know digging up fossil fuels and burning them creates GREENHOUSE GASSES that cause WARMING, don't you?

Nice strawman. It's not about "the world ending" or "higher taxes" or "world government" at all. I don't know how you people twist a bit of warming into crap like that. We're burning fossil fuels, creating carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, and it's causing warmer temperatures. Those warmer temperatures will cause economic losses, so to cut our losses we should cut carbon dioxide emissions by generating electricity from non-fossil fuel sources.

I shall have you know, sir, that there is no such unit as a cubic story. The proper term is cubic story squared! Good day, sir!

I think he converted 40 square meters to 47 square yards, which is fairly reasonable. But then he really goofed and called it 47 yards square, which is something completely different altogether -- something that is a square with 47 yards per side!

3 editors, but they spend only 12 editor-seconds per story.

Increasing food production increases the girth of the people in the middle. FTFY

Isn't that a problem with all energy sources? Speaking more realistically, fossil fuels will run out in hundreds of years and solar will last billions. Which would you bet the future on?

There's a limit to the fossil fuels we can burn, and they're only going to get more expensive. There is far more energy available from alternative sources, and switching to them could be economically beneficial soon. If you want energy starvation and poverty, just keep burning fossil fuels.

So you perform the experiment and do not observe whether or not you get the predicted results?

Nope. Antarctic ice is melting, at an accelerating rate no less. You are referring to the temporary sea ice that forms each winter. The ice melting off the land makes the ocean less salty, and fresher water freezes at a higher temperature than saltier water. But even though there is a bit more sea ice in the winter, the overall effect is that the ice is melting at an accelerating rate. Yeah, those pesky facts, huh?

No warming for 18 years? Then how could we have just had the warmest summer ever recorded with continued melting of ice worldwide and rising sea levels? I think this was all predicted by the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming, and is now being observed. If we see the warming stop, and the melting and sea level rise slow significantly, then we can talk about rethinking the hypothesis. Let me know when that happens.

Daniel Dennett actually suggests that you should internally signal an alarm when someone uses the word "surely" in an argument. A statement prefixed by surely is quite often the weakest part of the argument, and if your surely alarm goes off automatically when you hear or read the word, you can know a good place to look for a flawed argument. I think that surely we can say the same for "clearly." Did your alarm go off just now with my use of "surely?"
