I don't wanna put that sort of "strain" on the system without asking someone like MarcG or someone. I could always cache it into localStorage to keep from asking for it every single time, but they may still not appreciate that.
Title sums it up. I'm reasonably well off with PHP, and comfortable getting it to do what I need it to with values pulled from MySQL, however in the interest of expanding my knowledge I've been wondering if perhaps it would be a more efficient technique in the long run. Are they equivalent (due...
@mootinator do you remember that question (I think it was you that was looking at it with me) of the code that nobody could identify the source code variety?
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException, sorry for you. And as for staying up, don't bother: that is the time of day when I am actually supposed to be working, so I shouldn't complain about it being quiet :)
Oh, man. The plot thickens. Initial reports only stated that he'd worked for 3 administrations and that he was involved in legal dispute with a neighbor.
> Police also say that Wheeler’s car was parked in an Amtrak parking garage since Dec. 13th. They don’t think it moved since he parked it there that day though it wasn’t unusual for him to do this when he travelled.
I dunno, I'd have moved it first thing...that's an expensive parking garage.
What's the difference between single quote ' and double quote " in php? My idea is when one uses a single quote, there is some core value in it that needs to be used in the program, in case of double quote its just a string. Am I correct?
> Wired reports that Meir Dagan, the intelligence officer who revived the use by Israel of hit squads, was sacked as head of Mossad in the wake of the operation
"revived the use by Israel of hit squads" WTF? Aren't these guys British? Shouldn't they have better command of English?
Yeah. I'm not focused on work, due to being a student. However, I imagine refining that part of my site will be useful when I actually do start looking for work
@TylerChacha As long as you're not giving up on good opportunities. I worked my tail off during my teenage years. I wish I could've spent some of that time socializing.
@GeorgeMarian That is what I'm beginning to realize. Luckily I still have a half a year to go. At this point I'm trying to socialize as often as possible
Read some comments on that when the case was filed months ago... sounded like some government department decided they wanted Microsoft e-mail, but they have to put an RFP out for procedural reasons, so they worded one where only Microsoft's product could possibly match the requirements.
I've seen the below on the users page a few times in the last day. If I'm remembering correctly it was consistantly the top 3 or four users in the third column. It looks like the top 3 display over the next bottom 3. Although that is not consistant. I've also seen it where just one of the users w...
@balpha Any idea what this is? <script src="/users/ivc/146482/97ab" type="text/javascript"></script> It shows up on user profiles, but there's no script that lives there...
No big flexible displays yet, but now you can hang a huge multi-hand multi-touch Microsoft Surface 2 computer on a wall. The original Surface was like 1.5 feet deep, new one's 4".
definitely not your standard tablet-style touch sensors, but I don't know what it is
it still needs vision or they'd have to give up all the "domino tagging" stuff they made for Surface, where you stick labels on objects and when you put them on the table the label is read so it knows what kind of object it's interacting with
@TimStone is there an exploit that works through the URL, though? I can get PHP to hang if I assign the magic number internally, but not if I pass it in a GET variable (presumably because it's treated as a string)
One would have to find a piece of code where a GET parameter gets converted to a float, I think
> Due to the way the PHP runtime handles internal conversion of floating point numbers, it is possible for a remote attacker to bring down a web application simply by adding a specific parameter to a query string in their web browser
