Cours XSS - Tutoriaux Hack - Apprendre le hacking Ces tutoriaux ont pour but d'expliquer les méthodes des hackers pour pirater un site Web. Nous nous en tiendrons aux sites Web (le hacking comprenant bien d'autres domaines). - Pourquoi vous l'expliquer, cela ne risque-t-il pas de former des hackers plutôt qu'autre chose ?

The Best Broccoli of Your Life You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.” Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made broccoli for dinner? Broccoli and sweet potatoes?” Then he did bite in and his eyes lit up. “Oh my God,” he said. So what did I do to the broccoli to make it taste so good? I can’t take any credit. I’m going to have a hard time this week not posting all of the recipes from her new book, Back To Basics. Specifically, she loves roasting vegetables at a high temperature until they caramelize. Normally, broccoli gets squishy when you cook it. Seriously, this recipe is so easy I can recite it without looking at the book. You preheat the oven to 425. Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Now, it’s easy. Related Posts: Roasted Fennel Save

Demystifying the Creative Process “I’m not creative.” “I wish I could be more creative, but I don’t have it in me.” “Why are some people creative and others aren’t?” If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard those statements or questions… The truth is almost everyone has creative potential.

Vouloir libère "Maintenant, il va falloir apprendre à marcher droit ! Homme, deviens ce que tu es" Deviens toi-même ton propre maître; il n'y a personne qu'on doive suivre; suis ta propre voie, selon ta nature. Aie confiance en tes instincts naturels.. La démarche nietzschéenne reste plus actuelle que jamais. Ouvrir les yeux, se préparer à affronter de nouveaux défis, aimer son corps et le préserver, et jouir du plaisir comme un rare bonheur qui nous est donné. (Dur envers soi-même !) "L'amour de soi, c'est l'emblème de la fécondité." Il faut acquérir la vraie volonté : la volonté d'être soi-même et d'agir de soi-même. Citations tirées des œuvres de Nietzsche. "Vouloir libère". Nihilisme : négation de toute croyance ; attitude critique envers les conventions sociales et les traditions.
