Everyone doesn't own one, nor does every body want one. I'm waiting for the second gen of the Google Nexus.

"But Trolls live under bridges." Yes, but at least those trolls you can kill with a sword.

Better not piss her off Mark.

Your money has already been spent before too. Guess it is worthless.

Because you love writing web sites in C?

are they going to charge me twice and if they do, is Microsoft going to sue them for patient infringement?

In the 1990s, three University of California scientists allegedly developed and patented features that have become integral parts of what we today know as the "Interactive Web" -- including online video, image rotation, and search bar autocomplete. Eolas Technologies (a company owned by one of the scientists) and the University of California are suing several major companies -- including Internet heavies like Adobe, Amazon, GoDaddy, Google, and Yahoo, and retailers like Staples and JC Penney -- that allegedly employ these patented features.

Please show me where these "scientists" actually invented something. Online video? Ever hear of something called TV. Image rotation? Really, isn't that just an application of a matrix transformation. Search bar autocomplete? Isn't that just navigating some kind of tree like data structure and displaying the results. I just can't see the non-trivial innovation in these examples, maybe if I had no clue about math or computers, sure, but there is nothing here remotely outside the norm.

Maybe we need to rethink who we are labeling "scientists" in this day and age. Seems our standards are pretty low.

If the only choices are Apple and Microsoft.

Because Paul Vixie says so, and we all know he is always right.

Put the parameters into an indexed array and let the script that deals with the data sort it out. Much simpler and less likely to be exploited because you aren't doing calculations based on the input data.

I don't think you understand the vulnerability. By the time the POST parameters get to you, they may already be in a hashtable. For example $_POST in php.

Brushing their teeth with a bottle of Jack?

when "let's shrink the size of government" republicans propose more and bigger government.

Seems to have worked ok for them.
