      ...and none of the buggers have even heard of parametrized queries. :sigh: I dunno, what do they teach 'em these days? When I was a kid, they taught us proper! (carving your own wheel, the secret of fire, that kinda thing)

        here A bunch of universities around the world were hacked using SQL injection supposedly. Now some of the names mentioned in this article are fairly big, well known, pricey colleges. You would think they would be able to afford some Admins who had a clue about SQL injection and its prevention on their databases and sites?

        Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

        No. They're much more likely to buy an off the shelf student record system from a company who would be able to afford some admins who had a clue about SQL injection and its prevention on their databases and sites. (I don't know how this works in the US but there are about 3 major players in this space in the UK)

          Reminds me of the time that two other guys and I were talking about geography. The one guy (older) said that he always had a hard time with the subject. Me, being the smart donkey that I am, told him that, "I don't see how that could be Bob. When you was in school all you had to know was 'Pangaea'". I don't think he ever quite forgave me for that one.... :-)

          Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Please stand in front of my pistol, smile and wait for the flash - JSOP 2012

            Have you counted how many questions are posted every week in Q&A with glaring examples of the same? It's the universities who are teaching all these bad habits.

            One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

                    Yes...well...sorry about that. The funding ran out before we finished. It was supposed to be a tower block on the plans...

                      You even forgot to put the roof on ;P . BTW: Would have been hysterical if it was used, just as a house in the stone age, and that the stones just got placed on random. :laugh:

                        Actually no, I get a headache from going there. As I consider myself on the low end of programming skills still, and even I can see the BS in some of those questions.... I stopped reading them. I mostly just haunt the lounge because I have zero people in the world out there that can talk any kind of tech.(yeah I don't have friends and don't particularly want any either. I work, fix pcs, fix networks, write code, then go home, play tennis with the family and do more code(for me, not for work.)
