Its a joke about SQL injection.
This is a bit of a simplified explanation, but basically sometimes you can use text input fields (like the one I'm typing in right now) to execute code on the website's servers by putting in the characters that end a command, but include other code afterward. In the comic, the school staff is presumably entering the students' names into a text box that, when you enter text into it, takes that text and puts it into a command that inserts that info into the database as a new row. So, if you were to enter "Robert Smith" into the text box, the server would run something like
INSERT INTO Students ('Robert Smith');
But, in the comic student's name is "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--" so when the school enters that name into their database, this is what gets executed by the server:
INSERT INTO Students ('Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--');
So, instead of just entering the text into the database, the server executes more code and table he was inserted into is "dropped" (SQL command to delete a table), and the characters at the end get ignored because '); isnt a valid command on its own.
Most websites nowadays do what is called input sterilization, which prevents text entered on the website from being run as code on the server.

That's a much better explanation lol, and more accurate in syntax. I haven't really had to work in SQL much since college so my syntax is a bit rusty.

Wow I just got my weekly quota of geek coding humor. :D :dunno_black: Considering myself schooled.
QCBaker, did I remember from other posts that you're a Buell fan? I just picked up a XB9SX. Gotta love that crazy torque.

If it wasn't QC it would have been me, used to have an XB12SS.
Had the front wheel up yet? Mine never wanted to stay down and the SS was the longer wheelbase version :laugh:
Nice, Endo! But yeah, Watcher's the one who had the nice Buell lol. I do consider myself a Buell fan as well, but I just have a Blast. Decent bike for what it is IMO, but nothing really to write home about.

maybe when my GS stops blowing fork seals with less than 30k on the clock, ill shut up. or throwing connecting rod bearings...
its okay, my next bike WONT be a suzuki. 2018 FJR1300 :icon_mrgreen:
soon.tmedit: or eating 500ml of oil like every 400 miles. lol

On cue! Thanks :)
however... I guess it's fair to point out that you might have uniquely horrible luck with your GS. Others of us don't have these problems at all.

If it was an Audi, this would be pretty great. (https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/audi-oil-consumption-lawsuit.shtml)
FWIW my GS doesn't burn any oil AFAICT. It does leak a tiny bit.
Mine does burn a bit of oil, but nothing as bad as J has experienced. I've always chalked it up to the fact that I ride pretty high in the rev range.
Non OEM seals are CRAP - they popped in less than 30 days for me, OEM's on the other hand are sound.
Worth noting that that the naked GS uses the older style seals NOT the F version - I checked with SUZUKI UK technical. Almost all sites say the F version suits - it doesn't, don't ask me why but that's what SUZUKI UK say.
You have been warned...
;)
