10 Reasons You Should Never Get A Job | An Entrepreneurs Life, Technology, Cultu…

Great way to insult people adverse to risk taking. Instead of insulting people making reasonable choices (hey, risk taking can pay off nicely; it can also fail miserably; be prepared to fail!) that fit their lifestyle is "moronic". "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author avoids insulting his audience and draws in the outsiders to his cause. This piece preaches to the choir. Useless.

Gives the context of the Post-WWII world and initiates the period of the Cold War between the West (led by the US) and Soviet Union. Can also be considered Churchill's follow-up to Potsdam.

A great example of how brush-offs to a simple inquiry between a "service" and a "customer" can snowball. Also, this is instructive how to immediately diffuse such an impending disaster by taking ownership and responding with respect to the actual inquiry.

Oldie but a goodie on basic PHP security coding. As a bonus it shows the basic problem that Mambo/Joomla suffer TO THIS DAY. I wish this info was so old to be irrelevant, but the mistakes explained on this page are STILL OCCURRING TODAY. (Sorry for shouting.)

It's a good place to start for Joomla-component developers and other clueless newbies, so I've up-thumbed this. Check out phpsecinfo.org [phpsecinfo.org] for more information and explanation, as well as PHP's own Security info in it's documentation.
