| I suspect that left brain vs right brain is nothing but ignorance. Where's the scientific evidence that the different halves of the brain specialize in different styles of thinking? That's pretty much the gist of the article about this optical illusion: http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/... |

| Also look into the UNION statement, which can be extremely helpful in harvesting data through SQL injection. Imagine having a URL like this: http://example.com/pets?id=5 It might use an SQL query like this to retrieve the data about the pet: SELECT name, race FROM pets WHERE id = 5 If the URL parame... |

| I certainly do this. I regret and feel ashamed of many things I did, even some small ones that don't matter at all, and everyone but me probably already forgot about them. |

| From last year May until the start of this year, I was very desperate for a boyfriend. I bumped into this aspie guy at the gym who wasn't that attractive for me and he was older, but I was so desperate I was seeing him for months only to find out on December 30 that he already had a boyfriend.

I focus on web application development, and I know most of the usual stuff there too, even though they're not really programming lang... |

I apparently also talk really fast according to uh, earwitnesses :lol: But it seems to me as if I speak at a normal speed. I don't talk that much in group conversations, and when I do have something to say, the subject ha... |

Whenever I would look someone in the eye when talking it feels like I get sucked in or something, after a while the only thing I can think of is t... |

I always leave some coins in my wallet just in case they ask if I have a certain coin, which is then easy to find since I only have a few coins. Whenever the jar gets crowded enoug... |

I can never sleep while feeling constricted like that, I simply need my own half of the bed to sleep comfortably. Apart from ... |
