Yes, that's true. When I talked about injection attacks I was thinking more about using this to run JSON-like strings of code when you don't trust the source.

It allows for something similar to eval in
"Hejlsberg demonstrated a C# program that passed a few code snippets to the C# compiler as strings; the compiler returned the resulting IL assembly code as an object, which was then passed to the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for execution. Voilà! With Roslyn, C# gains a dynamic language's ability to generate and invoke code at runtime.
Put that same code into a loop that accepts input from the user, and you've created a fully interactive read-eval-print loop (REPL) console for C#, allowing you to manipulate and experiment with
.Net APIs and objects in real time."
If your program is doing what the demo code does, then sure, you're asking for code injection attacks.
but still I'm saddened by the number of people using the occasion of Richie's death to take another gratuitous slam at Steve Jobs
Except it is relevant. Jobs' death caused mass hysteria that elevated him to god level, while Ritchie will go unnoticed by all except the IT community. What would be of Apple and Jobs without C and Unix?
But anyway, I haven't seen many people here are taking a gratuitous slam at Steve Jobs... Aren't you overreacting?
Same here. What's not to like about the awesome bar?
even the best cellphone camera is a toy compared to what a pro or semi pro would be using
I agree, but we should be careful not to underestimate cellphone cameras, they can be surprisingly good:

Gee, where did I said I brake hard when people are right behind me? That's obviously stupid. Eventually, people catch up to you and think "there aren't any cars between the 50 meters separating this guy and the red light, why the hell is he going at 20 kph?!". Way to take a general observation and extrapolate the worst possible case...
I do this too, but it sucks when people behind you don't get it and go mad on you... And that's almost always the case.
I'm using G+ only for people I actually know unlike Facebook.
Funny, I'm doing exactly the opposite. Facebook treats all of my contacts as friends and when I share something it has to be shared with all of them. Yes, I can exclude people, but for that I have to pick them one by one...
G+ circles let me organize my contacts in as many categories as I want and I can choose which circles will be able to see what I'm posting. So I can have something like this:
* Family
* People who would not be offended by goatse
* People I know
* Random people I met online
* People I subscribe too (a la twitter, I guess...)
* Rest of the internet
I'm very happy with the circles feature, it makes it very easy to manage all of this.

Seriously, everyone I know (at least in IT) has Google+...
