More generally, if you want to be paid then do work under a contract. There are many cases where you will willingly accept promise of financial reward - look no further than Y Combinator - but you're a fool if you don't accept the risks or

ICE has no jurisdiction outside the US. As I understand it, they can seize US domains (.com) but not other countries' domains, nor can they force an ISP to block access to a domain. So what legal recourse is there?

In most cases, anyone that has application level access can already do the things an ordinary user needs authentication for. The password is irrelevant, unless you want to find it out to access another system you don't already have permissi

More specifically, it raises the bar from requiring a database dump (SQLi) to also requiring the encryption key (filesystem access or discover it yourself by cracking weak passwords). When each line of code you write is a point of failure,

I think you're just jealous, "danso"...! I could view the video straight from the browser. I reckon you're viewing it on iOS and they're driving you directly to the app.

Good thing too. 'Country' is a loaded word with various populations both claiming and denying their geographic locale as a separate country from the legal entity (or 'Member State') they're a part of.

The problem isn't that the original codebase is messy (it's aged, but there are still comparatively new projects working on it e.g. LuaTeX) or that it's non-portable, as demonstrated by the multitude of platforms it's available for. The pro

Right, first off, you are citing the brief and claiming that this is the basis on which people are marked. This is the very mistake I stated in the grandparent post and that you are making again. Stop claiming I am making 'assumptions' when

Is parsing a page template on the server and including a 'recent posts' snippet really so challenging that it justifies every client doing another HTTP request for that very same snippet?

The brief is just that. The mark scheme undoubtedly suggests a more restrictive approach into how you produce a project in line with that brief. It's like listening to the first sentence your client utters ("I want a program to calculate my
