Er, yeah.
Look up "Victoria Wood's Nice Cup of Tea" on spottydick, or whatever, before putting rubbish like that into your body.
By definition, Indian teas are bluddy awful, because they're over-manufactured by British loonies who don't have a clue what they're doing -- the plants are treated more like tobacco than as the basis of a refined, healthy drink.
The Chinese drink more tea per capita than anyone else, but if you put Indian tea in front of them, they run away, screaming in horror.
Flavoured teas take that horrendously manufactured garbage, and vomit it through even more machines.

The next thing you know, you'll be refusing to talk to people to whom you've not been properly introduced, discussing the weather (and nothing else) with those to whom you have, and enjoying British sausages (AKA emulsified offal tubes).
The good news is that at this stage - Anglophilia is still curable. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've never even seen it. The only time I hear about that is here in the lounge with all those English and Indians discussing it.
I believe it's played with a ball and a bat, but I'm not even certain 
It's totally unknown in the Netherlands (although I just Googled and there is a Dutch cricket team, crickey! )

It's actually quite enjoyable, with the right mindset.
Read that as after several G&T, ... I wonder if Nagy is into cricket?

I can't enjoy any kind of sports 
I'm not even into football/soccer and/or ice skating!
Not even when the world championships are on.
That's quite rare in the Netherlands...
I just don't see the fun in seeing other people physically perform (either good or bad) and being hugely overpaid for it.

Why do you think professional athletes are overpaid? Are they not getting what the market will bear?

They are. But that still doesn't justify getting paid millions for playing a two hour game or even just sitting on a bench.
Not only athletes, movie- and music stars too.
I guess it both appealing and appaling that you can make that kind of money in the entertainment business.

In Jordan they love BS security measures to enter a "mall". You have to go through one of those metal detector-y things etc.
One time a guard decided I was an obvious terror threat, so he put his arms around me and started to pat me down around my copious belly without any warning. I must have either clenched my fists or the other guard realised I was a foreigner or something as he pulled the the guard away from me. I walked off saying "it's not even as we've been formally introduced" . Probably the I only witty thing I've ever said, and no one within miles who would have understood.

Yes, they have the same BS security measures in Israel. When I was last in Turkey (about ten years ago), they had them there, as well. To misquote Shakespeare, all men are actors, and all the world is a security theatre.

flavoured tea (vanilla, fruits, chocolate...) is awful. (ok, except some fruity tea in the torrid hot summer days with lots of ice)
I used to only like earl-grey tea, but now I like the more earthy Pu-erh[^] tea and the lighter japanese Genmaicha[^].
I'd rather be phishing!

Tea is a drink made with the leaves of the tea plant.
Anything else is an infusion.
You appear to be drinking an infusion.

Have you actually tried drinking tea that contains real tea (Camelia sinensis), because the infusions you mention (with the possible exception of green tea), do not actually contain any of the marvellous leaf.

Please remind we are here: Quote: For lazing about and discussing anything in a software developer's life that....
Seems the experts knows SQL injection and mentioned it frequently when a “Q” write some test code. *Lol* and that is the only thing what they (_the_ experts) know and can suggest protecting from it. And why one can discus SQL injection and _not_ the other abusive themes?
Sorry, if this is all, please ask yourself how you can call you a “professional”.

There's a big difference between SQL injection (or script injection) and writing a virus.
SQL injection is only possible when you write poor code. So it's important to teach people to write their code in a SQL injection-safe manner.
A virus or worm attacks your computer. Maybe it changes a registry setting, or sends out emails to all your contacts. There is really nothing you can do about it except download a virus blocker/scanner, not visiting dubious websites, opening dubious emails, make regular backups and hope for the best. I agree that if you want to write a virus blocking application you need to know quite a bit about it, but for your regular day-to-day software programming you won't need information on how virusses and worms are written.
And in fact you can find other stuff on security on CP as well. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of posts on setting up HTTPS and why you'd prefer it over regular HTTP, AntiForgery tokens, script injection, encryption/decryption, etc.. Why? Again, because this can protect your code or data from bad people just by writing good code or setting up good configs. And that's what CP is about, writing good code. Not writing harmfull code!

Ok, I give up. Serious programmers seems to deny serious attacks 
On attacks (SQL inj., ...) why I should make a difference between this and that, it is only another blabla and _no_ background knowledge because it can not discussed....sorry for that.

As a software developer, it is my responsibility to make sure that my software is protected from attacks, and since I write a lot of apps with web service calls, database transactions, or REST operations, there's a lot of bullet proofing I do there.
I do not, however, write OS's. Therefore, it is the user's responsibility to keep their machine virus, malware, adware, etc. free. And yes, there's a responsibility that the OS manufacturer has too, of course. But my point is, I can only be responsible for my little corner and asking me to take on things I cannot in any way shape or form be responsible for is silly.

Dear Marc Clifton
I read a lot of your articles and learned a lot there!
But Quote: Therefore, it is the user's responsibility to keep their machine virus, malware, adware, etc. free.
No, I can't agree. If the user is my 80 years old mother, I don't think it is appropriate to put the responsibility to her
