[mysql_real_escape_string] is made for escaping strings in case it contains a character that would break SQL. It's up to you to filter your inputs.

And this is why you fail, and why PHP coders have the reputation of clueless monkeys.

You don't filter your inputs when you are about to feed them to an SQL query. You use place holders and let the database cast your input into the right data type. You trust the database library to know that something is a data type and feed it to the query as a parameter, not as query text. If you trust filtering, all you need is one mistake and it's Bobby Tables time.

Actually, since there are virtually no competing views being offered in peer-reviewed journals, I'm just going to say that, yes, I have a good correlation. The onus is on opponents to provide a better theory, and so far all I've seen is lots of shouting in blogs, and one or two minor adjustments being actually published.

So why don't you just fuck off back under your rock, you ignorant troll.

Greenpeace activists: actually do something in the physical world, like doing a penetration test of a nuclear facility.

Slashdot poster antifoidulus: whines from his easy chair about Greenpeace activists on Slasdot.

I think the facts make it pretty clear just who the spoiled little rich kid is here.

Your comments get modded down because you're a one-trick pony who cannot do anything but post the exact same extremist libertard screed in any discussion, no matter the subject.

I generally ignore usernames while reading and/or modding. Often, after downmodding such a screed, I think "Wait, was that roman_mir?", and nine times out of ten, you know what? It is!

How about we start with Professor Dawkins producing verifiable figures, and not just a convenient soundbite for the Daily Hate?

It's the bloody Daily Mail we're talking about. If they were to state the Sun rises in the East, I would be sitting outside with a compass in the morning.

Sometimes the well is poisoned, and it's not a fallacy to ask for another source.

Apple fanbois in glass houses should not throw stones.

Seriously dude. I like your posts on other subjects, but just re-read your work in Apple-related threads.

And then you have this lovely dialog:

Dev: The software is done, can you deploy it to production?

Admin: Sure.

(30 minutes later) Admin: it doesn't work.

Dev: Strange, it works on the dev machine.

Admin: It crashes with permission errors. Probably because you ran it under your account.

Dev: Oh, just run it under admin privileges, then it'll work OK.

Admin: No way in hell I'm going to run just everything under elevated privileges. Please reconfigure your deployment so it can run under an unprivileged account.

Dev: Stop being so obstructive!

You'd be surprised how many developers expect that their software can be deployed to production under the same privileges as on their development workstations. And its not only in-house development either. I have seen plenty of commercial packages that don't deploy correctly in a multi-user environment.

But there is no physical mechanism linking pirates to CO2. There is one for temperature, a mechanism that has been known for over a century.

I specifically and explicitly mentioned this by the way, to cut off the stupid kiddies who try to outshout each other 'correlation is not causation!'. Guess what you just have proven yourself to be?

Mar

Typical denier bullshit: when presented with the facts, start whining about something else.

Mart

Oh shut the bloody fuck up, will you?

We have the following facts:

1. CO2 is a known greenhouse gas.
2. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing.
3. Measurements of isotope ratios prove that a significant portion of this increase comes from burning fossil fuels.
4. The global mean temperature is rising.

Now, you might scream like a little kid 'correlation does not imply causation' all you want, but science doesn't work on misunderstood soundbites. Correlation does imply these facts are linked, and in the presence of a causative mechanism (the centuries-old known properties of CO2 as a greenhouse gas), only an idiot like you would accept that stupid soundbite as enough reason to doubt the peer-reviewed science.

What we get is every 10 years a new set of predictions and models explaining why the last 20 years models and predictions weren't correct

Yes, I believe that is generally called 'scientific progress'.

Yes, climate scientists are overwhelmingly biased in favour of a theory of Anthropogenic Global Climate Change. I'll give you that.

However, I'll point out that historians are overwhelmingly biased in favour of the theory that some 10 million civilians were systematically murdered by the Nazis during World War II, the largest group for no better reason than who they were born to.

And biologists are overwhelmingly biased in favour of the theory that complex life evolved from less complex lifeforms over a period of millions of years.

And rocket scientists are overwhelmingly biased in favour of the theory that we did send people to the Moon. So you see, it both figurativelay and literally isn't rocket science: rational people are biased in favour of scientific reasoning.

The most immediate consequence for people now living outside the Roman Empire was being raped and plundered by the next Germanic tribe migrating across their land.

Geez, if you're going to use analogies, for fucks sake learn the history first, will you?

So you're not actually replying to me or to the poster I originally replied to then. I guess we're talking at cross-purposes here.
