I never used it because I've got Photoshop installed on Windows but just gave it a try.

The first thing I noticed was the enormous lag of the mouse movements. So I think for an free alternative I will stick to Gimp.

First: this could result in:

  echo $blah; // hi <script>alert('foo');</script>
But maybe it's just because you posted an example...

Second: it will double the memory used.

Third: you can't use the variables global anymore

I think it's still very easy to create injectable queries. Prepared statements are a good start but people still forget to escape everything.

For example:

  prepare("SELECT name FROM users WHERE country = ? ORDER BY " + unescapedVar, country);
  
So I wonder, is there any way to force programmers into writing secure queries (by not writing queries)? Is ORM the way to go?

Android users better use TextSecure which is secure and even can send secure sms.

If you mean all accounts + data I think a lot of users will just register again and start over.

If you mean all code it will be the end of Facebook.

But ofcourse this is never going to happen.

Maybe the time has come for Google to use Go for Android. I think it will give Go a nice boost.

Nice :)

Years ago you could buy an old submarine in the Netherlands for around $1 Moving costs excluded ofcourse.

But I always fantasized about putting it on a piece of land using it as a house.

Yep, it also took me 2 steps:

  * search on Google
  * download the software on the page you are linking to.
But: I agree that it's strange you can't get there via de MS site directly.

There already are theories about this. For example: http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ29.html

I'm not sure why you think creationists are dumb people. Even scientists don't agree with all theories in the science books.

So yeah, maybe there was an event where fountains of the deep opened up. Some people believe dinosaurs were killed because after that a change in atmosphere provided less food. Others believe a comet killed them. There is and isn't proof for both theories so maybe there is truth in both.

Our creation / existence is one big riddle everyone tries to solve different.

I think this is how the NSA became the NSA as we know it today. When your task is to prevent terrorism you need to see. You need to see in time and detect patterns. So you need to store as much data as possible because.

So it's good to stick to some boundaries. In the example of the robot: you could measure room temperature, because maybe the sensors are acting to it. Or you could measure the amount of people in the room because sensors could act to it. Heck, maybe the sensors are acting different to different people, so track there faces and store it. Well maybe sensors are sensitive to somebodies smell so track that too.

There are limits to what is useful to track.

I always like this Vocaliod opera song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VseHlKR4Ew8 (Voi che Sapete)

While the song is playing you can see the settings. I've played with it once but it's hard to get it right.

First you place the notes to add pitch and length. Then you attach phonetic codes to the notes. So it's not like you are adding words to notes. It's all about how it should sound. Then you also can add things like amplitude settings.
