No, not an issue with the PHP - I was responding to "AJAX not being cross site is annoying"
MaxMouse
Really? i thought that would only be important if the user had some kind of control over where the XML came from, if you hard code it (As in a PHP file) wouldn't that eliminate XSS attacks?
Domuk
Yes, but very, very necessary. AJAX requests run in the context of the browser, there'd be no security if it was cross-domain .
MaxMouse
AJAX not being cross site is annoying, all other scripts can be used in that way, having to resort to PHP to patch it is a shame.

You're trying too hard, calm down... read the question out loud, slowly to yourself a couple of times and take each word in.

Re: Please help with challenge 1!!! - 2009-07-10 14:34:05
wikipedia says:
Taking someone at face value is assuming another person's suggestion, offer, or proposal is sincere, rather than a bargaining ploy.

Aah, this was so fucked up. Once you made it, after thinking your brains out for hours, you feel sorta of stupid for not seeing it right from the beginning.

Ok, have you asked yourself this?

Re: Please help with challenge 1!!! - 2009-07-14 11:43:48
it might help to notice that a certain part of the text is italic, does that give you any ideas?
mypieistasty
(User)
Re: Please help with challenge 1!!! - 2009-07-16 09:35:25
What? There's nothing in italic. =[

oh damn it!!!

Wait... Does it literally mean to the delve into the code?

Oh damnit!! I don't get this!!! ARRGGHH!!!!

Re: Please help with challenge 1!!! - 2009-07-16 20:20:19
you don't have to look into this deeply, in fact you don't have to look into it at all, so you could take it at face value :P

In this challenge, it's not about thinking outside the box.
Rather, try looking at it from a glance and submit your answer. No words or letters necessary; just read the title.

Thanks CodeX for the reference. Anyone still interested, try this side-quest...ion:
What's the difference between assume and presume?
Now apply it to this challenge.

You can do it, never give up.

Never give up, never surrender! If your reading this and haven't done the level then you'll probably laugh (or cry) when you've done it

I just did it. They are right, look at it at Face Value. You feel like an idiot that you didn't see it before.
