    Right, but what happens when that join function uses a record in a table that a user put a sql injection attack into? For instance, little Bobby tables in the name column.

    Programming Languages 'Do Not Enjoy Copyright Protection'

    As a programmer, I'm glad. Now I don't have to worry about my entire career being illegal. You can't copyright English, you can't copyright mathematical notation, and you shouldn't be able to copyright a programming language.

    ASP.net with C# problem

    When you dynamically add controls to a page, you need to add them on page_init for every subsequent post back or you will lose their viewstate. You may instead want to use an asp:CheckBoxList. Set its visibility to false in the markup, and set it true after the search.

    Code Can't Be Stolen Under Federal Law, Court Rules

    Best Buy Closing 50 Stores

    I'm going to buy it directly from Blizzard. I'll have it downloaded and updated a day or 2 before release. I'll attempt log in at the stroke of midnight instead of standing in the cold for a few hours to wait for a store to open its doors.

    Wikipedia to Join Web Blackout Protesting SOPA

    Are you planning to blackout the HardForums, since they could be affected by the new laws? (not necessarily the main site, since you have different TLDs, and there's no user generated content on the main site).

    Windows Media Center Question

    This is correct. With media center, you can just use the zoom action. There are 4 zoom settings. You can either use the mouse to select it (need to go to the zoom menu item), or program your remote with ctrl+shift+z which toggles between aspect ratios.

    AMD Memory Brand for Entertainment, Performance and Enthusiast Desktop Computers

    Right, so it will have higher CAS timings and require 2.0V to get it to run at the same speed as everyone else. It will need Microsoft to update the kernel so it uses all the channels in the memory controller properly to give it a minor 5% performance boost. Oh, and it not designed...

    Are Netflix Cancellations Slowing Down?

    No, they aren't. I canceled the DVD plan after they announced they were splitting it off to qwikster. The email and their status page shows my current plan out for another 2 weeks yet, and has a message saying I need to return all the DVD's by 7 days after the last day of the billing cycle.

    Question about IIS & Windows Passthrough...

    You need to set permissions for the individual directories or files in the web.config, not on the folders themselves. * means everyone. ? means anonymous. Pretty sure you can put the names of AD groups in the roles attribute, but its been a while. <location path="App_Themes">...

    HDMI Cable

    Are you planning on running 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 3D, or 4k? Standard means it has enough bandwidth for 720p/1080i, but not much above that. High speed means it supports 1080p and above. Ethernet over hdmi is a new addition in the latest revision. It's not widely adopted at this point...

    nVidia hdmi audio passthrough

    OK, I understand now. I thought you were just using a generic DVI->HDMI adapter which would only map the DVI-D video pins to the corresponding HDMI video pins. Some manufactures had custom made DVI->HDMI adapters that used some of the other pins (from DVI-A or unused) to pass through the...

    nVidia hdmi audio passthrough

    DVI cannot do audio. It doesn't have the pins for it. It needs to be HDMI all the way unless your dongle is a big box that converts the spdif to the hdmi audio format and combines them. What is your exact video card? nVidia GTX 260 is just the chip that powers it. Manufactures can...

    Learning C#

    That's quite a loaded question. They are both Turing complete languages, so you should be able to solve any solvable problem with either one. In terms of language constructs, there is very little that C# can do that VB can't. However, there are also a few things you can do in VB that you...
