rerouting packets to yourself by getting control over the victim's network in some form.
Well, at this point you can do a man-in-the-middle attack and do more or less whatever you want, whatever client-side and server-side security mechanisms you apply, unless you're running on SSL (I wonder how ...

Not necessarily, you can spoof such stuff too.
I must admit I find this quite surprising.
Even if I can fake someone else's IP (and this is news to me - at software level you mean?), I wouldn't receive any response packet, would I? Unless "accomplice" servers along the path deroute them towards me ...

Not sure what we are exactly talking about, so I might be saying something stupid. But what about using user's IP as part of the seed? The attacker must (should) have a different one.

There's a couple of settings in ACP to link big pictures or use a thumbnail (with link) instead of showing them full-size.

I found this benchmark really interesting, its InnoDB vs MyISAM vs Falcon. Hope this helps.

Kinda surprising InnoDB results practically always faster (or very close to) MyISAM, although they were all SELECTs and there was no data writing.
Just looks like InnoDB needs some more disk space ...

MySQL is not a standard database and has many inconsistencies.
That might be true, but as HoL says, the vast majority of users do use MySQL, like it or not, so if we were going to optimize basing on some specific dbms, we'd need to concentrate on it.
Optimizing phpBB for PostgreSQL (for general ...

Just curious: performance-wise, how is InnoDB vs MyISAM?

This is actually a regression in 3.0.0, but I personally I don't agree with John's fix -- I'd rather restore the original "Suspecting GOLD Very Soon..." title, which is historical, and should be maintained as all things that remind us of our history.

Windows XP SP3 will contain around one thousand hotfixes, piled up in 3.5 years; how should one interpret this?

Err, Highway of Life... your countdown seems one hour off here... it says -6h45m while phpBB.com countdown says -7h45m (correctly pointing to 18:00 GMT or 19:00 CET).
