    [quote user="MiffTheFox"]If I was designing a new language,[/quote] ... it would not support direct string concatenation and all string formatting functions would automatically escape their arguments.

  • Re: Fantastic router security

    [quote user="Salamander"]I'm not hallucinating that eval doing a variable assignment am I?[/quote] The assignment to location instructs the browser to open password.cgi?adminPassword=THENEWPASSWORD. TRWTF: Since password.cgi does not check credentials on access, that means you don't even need the old password to set a new one!

  • Re: Explorer fails at sorting

    [quote user="dhromed"]I like the Win8 Explorer ribbon.[/quote] Yes, overall it's nice, but the Undo button could have been placed in a more prominent location. [quote user="Daniel Beardsmore"]Vista's Explorer toolbar was the best a simple subset of commands with nice icons.[/quote] Simple, random, useless.

  • Re: The Comparer

    [quote user="zelmak"]As it turns out, someone thought it would be clever to handle the cases where there was no data (apparently null cells are to be avoided at all costs!) and create their own comparable object to stuff into a model cell when the actual value was null so the user would have something nice to look at:[/quote] Consider ...
