''These two characters are often disallowed in passwords because of their relevance to SQL (a common database query language). A badly written security system using SQL could have severe bugs (and vulnerabilities) if these characters were used in a password.'' So instead of fixing the bugs, users are kindly requested/forbidden to use & and % because that would break the system? Relying on empathy instead of fixing the problem, similar to "please don't break in, we're too poor to afford a decent lock". Sounds like Black Hat in a role as security advisor could come up with.

"Turing-complete kerning specification language in OpenType fonts" needs a citation. Is this just referring to the TeX language in general? | "Turing-complete kerning specification language in OpenType fonts" needs a citation. Is this just referring to the TeX language in general? |
