That awkward moment when you're reading this comment, and you can't stop reading because you are so intrigued by it, that you keep reading, and then you realize it says nothing important.

$.get('makepayment.php?code=mysql_query("INSERT INTO TRANSACTIONS (passtoken, moneys) VALUES ("' +prompt('enter passkey')+'", '+$('.moneys').value+')');
 
Followed by an eval($_GET["code"]), correct?
 
@ColeJohnson Of course.
@ColeJohnson That awkward moment when you're reading a comment, and you can't stop reading because you are so intrigued by it, and you realize the guy has a point, and start laughing at his joke a the end, then you realize it's your own post.
That awkward moment when you're complaining and insulting people, then realize @JanDvorak is in the room and is who you're complaining to and who you're complaining about…

(okay that one really didn't make much sense at all but who cares)

Did you just look that up?
The A.S.S. was a French automobile produced from 1919 to 1920 by Bernard Verdy. Advertised as "L'automobile pour tous", the car was powered by a 1240cc, 12 hp (8.9 kW) two-stroke Thomas engine and used a 2-speed epicyclic transmission. The car featured electric lights and starter. The vehicle was launched as a 4-seat tourer (the catalog also mentioned a 2-seat coupe) in March 1919 at a cost of 4750 francs. Plans for mass production went unrealized, and in March 1920 it was announced that the company had merged with the Société des Moteurs Thomas. == References == == See also == Automobiles Sans...
 
6:46 PM
@ColeJohnson why? there would be people that can do that for me in SE, so why I should make the effort?
 
Good point
Automobiles Sans Soupapes war ein französischer Hersteller von Automobilen. == Unternehmensgeschichte == P. Schmitt oder Bernard Verdy gründete 1919 das Unternehmen in Lyon zur Produktion von Automobilen. Der Markenname lautete ASS. Das Unternehmen warb mit dem Spruch L'Automobile pour tous, also Automobile für jedermann. 1920 endete die Produktion. Insgesamt entstanden nur wenige Fahrzeuge. P. Schmitt wechselte zu Automobiles Beck. == Fahrzeuge == Das einzige Modell war ein Kleinwagen. Für den Antrieb sorgte ein Zweizylinder-Zweitaktmotor von Thomas mit 1240 cm³ Hubraum. Im Angebot standen offene…
 
Sam
Did they really expect us to buy an ASS?
 
We moved beyond that era.
 
@Sam would the frog eaters even care about tea-sipping customers?

2^16?
 
@ColeJohnson what's 2?
 
Oh you must be using base 2. See, I use base 10
How about 10^10000?
 
@Doorknob no such thing!

The problem is the scope of the subject matter in the question

But to know the problem, you need to know the solution
Wait, that's backwards. I think?
