In PHP you should be careful working with floating point number comparisons because sometimes the result that you get can be unexpected and unpredictable even if it looks pretty obvious. Here is an example. Can you guess what will be the result?

<?php
$a = 0.7;
$b = 0.1;
$c = $a + $b;
if ($c == 0.8) {
   echo '$c == 0.8';
} else {
   echo '$c!=0.8';
}

More or less, every clever IT professional understands that big corporations such as Microsoft and Google are able to read correspondences of Gmail and Skype users.

Recently, I found a post where guys from The H Security explain how they found out that Microsoft actually monitors what you write in Skype.

Actually, it is not a big secret. Everyone who uses Skype, must agree with the item that Microsoft could read everything you write (see privacy statement in Skype). Especially I liked that "Skype may capture and manually review instant messages or SMS in connection". However, it's interesting why they pay their attention to HTTPS links and ignore HTTP.

So, if you use Skype for Internet communication, you should know that it is not 100% private.

In this release JQuery core developers threw out the support for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 (Yay!). Thanks to this, the size of the library has decreased by 12% and now it's smaller and faster. It can be even smaller if you make your own build, disabling some of  built-in default modules (there is 12 of them).

Those who need old IE support should remain on the branch 1.x, which will continue supporting old IE versions.

There is a lot of different blogs exist in the Internet. However, every day people set up tons of new blogs, and at the same time huge number of blogs die every day. So, why would people create and run their own blogs?
