The author does a great job of calling potential users to action. One of the cool things about the old myspace.com was the ability to customize a profile, it gave users a way to express themselves. I'm sure people made money off of &qu

Proper database design does not mean the problem couldn't happen. Consider this scenario. The database has a unique constraint on the name but the code ignores the result and overwrites the directory anyways. It wouldn't cause thi

Shameless plug: I also wrote a free site for invoicing and it has the ability to include vat reg no. One of the pages that isn't published yet is the invoice designer, which looks very similar to invoice-o-matic. Nice job by the way! T

What the heck is a techno boondoggle? What a hillbilly sounding term that only makes me cringe at what kind things the US government is going to cook up for us cyber pros, lol.

"it is not a fallacy to bring in personal details which raise legitimate questions about the credibility of what's being said. Snowden did have a difficult time in HS and he does not possess a formal CS/technical education.&q

Can we conclude from this that it is better to leak anonymously? On one hand, anonymous leaks might be more immune to character assassination attempts. On the other, having a real live person stand behind the information adds some credibili

I'm against all of the complex regex as well, having learned through trial and error that it is usually way more trouble than it's worth. That being said, there are many cases where the email address being verified is not the user's email,
