Is PHP Insecure?
Him – PHP is Insecure.
Me – What makes you say so?
Him – I read it in a book.
Me – And what have you read exactly?
Him – I can’t remember, I’ll send you the book.

Sharing called Piracy
Most of us, have been taught to share, if you have candy you should share it with your friends, but what about software, not any software, proprietary software ???
In the terms we have on the planet these days, if you share proprietary software, you are called a pirate. which implies that illegal copying is ethically equivalent to kidnapping and murdering people.
Who believes that sharing software would be like that. So if you gave a friend that has always been nice to you a copy of a proprietary software, then you are a pirate.
For me I never believed so, sharing is good, even if it’s proprietary software, so instead of calling it piracy, I urge you to call it something like “Prohibited Copying”, “Unauthorized Copying”, or my preferable “Sharing Information”.
For me, I don’t use proprietary software, and if someday I would, I won’t mind sharing it at all
Broken Leg
After a week of my leg hurting me so much (for no reason), I went to a doctor, and it came out that it was broken, the problem is that I don’t remember breaking it, or even hitting it with something, so he explained that this kind of fracture is called Stress Fracture, which is a result of overuse of the bone, it happens a lot to the athletes, specially tennis and Basketball players, and to the soldiers.
The thing is I’m not a soldier, and I don’t play Tennis nor Basketball, I hardly play any kind of sports …..
“Do you walk a lot?”, the doctor asked, “Yes”, I answered, “Oh, well that is the reason”. Walking is one of my hobbies, actually I love walking a lot, I don’t do it to lose weight, to be more precise, none of the people I know walk as much as me.
Well, I guess this leads me to the question that I always hate, What is it with the human body? If you don’t walk or play sports, you would have lots of health problems, if you do, you would have this Stress Fracture thing. and getting me back to teeth, you brush them twice a day, and you end up having problems in sleeping from their pain, and looking at animals, My parents have lots of cats, and a couple of dogs, I don’t remember any of them ever brushed their teeth, also I don’t remember any of them having problems in their teeth too.
So would someone explain to me what is it with the human body?
Open You Windows To Freedom (ReactOS)
While surfing the Internet last night, I reached some sites talking about a free (as in freedom) clone of MS Windows called ReactOS, ReactOS is an effort to create a Free Software replacement for Microsoft Windows(TM) that is compatible with existing hardware and software!
A good review for the product can be found on The NeoSmart Files here.
Well, it’s still in an alpha version, but they seem to have a lot of good work done.
Now to my point of view, for GNU/Linux which is based on UNIX, the root is not a proprietary to anybody, it’s based on the POSIX standards (which the only UNIX that doesn’t comply them is Sun Solaris, I don’t know if Sun ever heard about it), so any change in UNIX is not forced to be done by the GNU team, when it comes to ReactOS (also WINE) I guess this is going to be a problem, there root is Microsoft, which means any change Microsoft makes, they should do it too. Also would it be really free, GNU/Linux was a crowning achievement in the free software world, because it eliminated the one remaining barrier to having a 100% free software environment on your computer. ReactOS isn’t leaning that way, because even though it’s shooting for a free kernel, O/S, and GUI, you’re still doing it in the service of proprietary applications.
Anyway, I guess I’m going to try it soon using VMWARE, and surly I would post my feedback.
And remember, A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
NULL Is Not A Value
Before a few months, I was working on some mysterious issue regarding some SQL statements, it was something like this.
SELECT count(*) from some_table WHERE (condition_a);
the result was:
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 11223 |
+----------+

Chain Letters
A typical chain letter consists of a message that attempts to induce the recipient to make a number of copies of the letter and then pass them on to one or more new recipients. A chain letter can be considered a type of meme, a self-replicating piece of information that uses a human host to distribute copies of itself. Common methods used by chain letters include emotionally manipulative stories, get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and the exploitation of superstition to threaten the recipient with bad luck or even physical violence if he or she “breaks the chain” and refuses to adhere by the conditions set out by the letter.
Warning – Too Dangerous Together
Just listening to one of these songs makes me high, what happens if I heard them all together. But be ware that this would effect you, only if you are a Blues listener, and adore Jimi Hendrix as much as I do.
Well, you think I’m kidding, well if you match the conditions above, try to listen to Once I Had a Woman, OK after you listened to it how do you feel, aren’t you high already, Now if you are not high, well you don’t need to continue, as you don’t match the conditions, if you do, well be careful this can be extremely dangerous, it’s preferable that one of the other type be with you – but of course he needs to shut up, cause these people can ruin everything – in case you needed help.

Apple Launches New Site for Open Source
Mac OS Forge dedicated to projects focused on Mac OS X.
Mac OS Forge, a new community development site hosted by Apple, was recently launched to support Web Kit and other open source projects focused on Mac OS X. In addition, developers can create and browse third-party open source projects that are closely related to the Macintosh operating system. Current projects on Mac OS Forge include source code to the new iCal Server in Leopard Server, and Apache-licensed versions of Bonjour service discovery and Launchd process management.
While select projects in Mac OS X are featured on Mac OS Forge, a complete set of open source software within Mac OS X can be found by visiting the Apple Developer Connection.
