What bothers me the most is that it took you less than four minutes to read through and understand all the top rated answers to the question @Adnan posted as a duplicate, and still commented on which parts of your question it answers and which it doesn't. That sudden flash of genius doesn't quite follow the level of understanding of the topic discussed here as is clearly shown in your question. I'm not saying any of the two are a problem, not at all, I'm just saying I find it extremely odd. And that I'm slightly bothered by taking a whole lot longer to make that mental leap myself. :? — TildalWave3 mins ago
That's it I'm a retard, newbs here read, process and learn at least 10.000 times faster than I do
@Simon God no, Python has some awful frameworks! Didn't you get the memo? :))
So I was writing a long answer, complicating as usual in a bid to include as much of relevant information as possible, and then The Bear comes and basically answers it all that I was trying to in only two paragraphs. I really wish there was some way for The Bear to "mark his territory" so I know I needn't bother :))
As no doubt most of us have experienced, we sometimes start answering a question that receives a lot of attention, and many of us start preparing their answers simultaneously, at almost exactly the same time. Some questions might thus receive nearly identical answers from different members, poste...
I still think it would be a useful feature. They could limit it to members with certain reputation, if it'd present a problem for low rep users. It would be easily achievable, so I don't really understand (still) the disapproval it received. I dig there's better and more pressing proposals there, but fail to see how mine was so bad to attract so many downvotes. :?
@HamZa well OK, but it honestly didn't feel as such when I posted it... and no excuse for any of them, just that "there's no need" or "it wouldn't stop FGITW answers" opinions which hardly render it useless and warrant downvotes.
@TildalWave lol sometimes I think they don't have feelings... I mean sometimes I see a post with 10 downvotes, question closed, bunch of comments and people keep on downvoting: it's a massacre ...

@Simon Well, the very basic stuff is still pretty easy to accomplish. I'm basically going by a trial and error process to figure out what's going on. :P
This question is a duplicate of basically all three of your previous questions that were all put on hold for various reasons. In case you haven't noticed, you can edit your questions to be more in line with requirements and guidelines described in Help center and How to Ask pages, and/or edited to follow reservations of our reviewers as described in the reason for your questions' closure / being put on hold. Please review your previous questions and edit them accordingly. Posting new yet much the same questions only needlessly adds to our workload, and might not be tolerated for long. Thanks! — TildalWave2 mins ago
they just want a solution, they don't care if it's impossible, rude, off-topic Don't bother too much, closevote it/flag it and move on ... A bit sad to waste some seconds of my life with these kind of people ...
@TildalWave It does load (for me), and it does not need access rights. SE chats are publicly accessible and can be viewed by anybody. You only need account & rep to participate.
that's a first - had to reject suggested edit for trying to fit an answer to the question within the question body, because it was put on hold in the meantime
@ThomasPornin oh yes that's same as what I just commented LOL... I just rejected with the message "Can't allow answers in the closed question bodies, sorry! I suggest you copy your contribution and post is as an answer to a new question."
@ThomasPornin and Queen Elizabeth II also announced maybe a month ago (?) she'll be involved with less of her duties due to age... and let's not forget the reasons for previous Pope to resign... same patterns there
@TildalWave Yes. It seems that retirement has become fashionable, over the more traditional way of being killed in battle or through poisoning by your successor.
@ThomasPornin we have a befitting saying here that they "wear cloth thicker than the bear's skin" (loose translation) ... I'm implying here that they're overly protected and given a bit more access to them by plebs as it used to be, this might not be a problem :)

Albert II, (born 6 June 1934) is the King of the Belgians, a constitutional monarch. He is a member of the royal house "of Belgium"; formerly this house was named Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. He is the uncle of the current reigning Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Henri.
On 3 July 2013, King Albert II attended a midday session of the Belgian cabinet. He then announced that on 21 July, he would abdicate the throne for health reasons. He will be succeeded by his son, Prince Philippe of Belgium. He is the third European monarch to abdicate in 2013, following Pope Benedict X...
@TildalWave In France we prefer elected presidents, because: 1. elections happen more often, and 2. each election implies several losers, whose discomfited faces we can mock.
> It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on 17 July 1917, when he changed the name of his family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin) to the English Windsor...
@TildalWave Ah, got it. British sovereigns are supposed to be descendants of William III (Prince of Orange, a Dutch) but Victoria (then queen) married a Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Prince Albert)
So the name came from the Germans, but the royalty is still of Dutch origin
I've got lines in my php/mysql code which look like this:

$sqlquery = "SELECT price FROM products WHERE 1=1 AND id=".$_POST['id'];

echo $price;
As a test/demonstration, how can I subvert this to show something like a user's password if I had a table users like...
@Simon Maybe he was just studying this and thought to post his findings as an answer? Doesn't matter I don't see it as a bad thing really, it keeps old questions alive.
@Simon Thomas can do this, but that doesn't mean having another account like this is a subject to free interpretation... it is not allowed for us mere mortals ;)
and he only posts answers with the other account, if you check you'll see he never cast any votes with it
not sure how long in DMZ but IIRC I didn't jump into the deep part of the pool as soon as I made an account... and I actually started being active on SO first
@Simon Creating secondary accounts is allowed by SO under the rule that any given user shall not vote more than once on the same thing. There are (unpublished) automatic scripts that runs regularly and try to detect fraudulent vote patterns.
I don't vote at all with Bear #2, thus avoiding any issue.
@Simon I have problems getting +10 most of the days let alone reach rep cap... I did reach it on a few days but those were busy days not like these last weeks
@ManishEarth He could but he doesn't (you cannot check it easily, though -- but the SE admins can see it). Ah yes, the SE rule is also "don't vote for each other".
@ThomasPornin That's true... but you do realize where our surplus of bears comes from, no? They came here as refugees during the Balkans wars from Croatia and Bosnia. We've always had pretty constant number of bears before that. And I must say most people here are quite appalled at how they ended up being treated in France. Hack, we even sent some of our younger bears that accidentally became too friendly with humans to rehabilitation camp for bears organized by Vier Pfoten in north of Romania.
@ThomasPornin I believe it wasn't really French people that were causing problems, it just happened in France (quote needed LOL). But I don't wanna go there, it's not any different anywhere in Europe these days. :I
@ThomasPornin That's a quote from somewhere? Because I know of nearly the same quote for Romania by one of their most renown poets, but I haven't heard any like that before for France :O
@Simon About half of the Québécois I talk to are unsure about whether I am French or not, after a few sentences. So I must be gradually getting it, after all.
hmm, looks like a lot of honeypot software hasn't been maintained for ages ;-/ kippo and honeyd are like 3 years and 5 years since their last versions. dunno if that scares me or not ;-)
oh, not kippo. apparently there's a april 5th version available. seemed to have jumped 3 years in releases
@AviD Wow congrats!! Blimey you're in copy mode :)) And don't worry about ignoring us, you had better things to do obviously like smoking a cigar and getting pissed and such :)
@AviD Looks a bit like you already :) There goes the neighborhood LOL
@TildalWave more like catching up on missed sleep...
I have a feeling that one month from now I am going to be so damn tired, it is going to cause a rip in the time/space continuum, reaching back to today and leaking out some extra tired. Or maybe it's because I missed a night or two...
