I am developping a sns site.
I was wondering if i send user's email addresses as a part of
confirmation link so that
when a user receives the confirmation email, he can just click on the
link to login
to our site without punching in the password.

yeah, sounds like a plan. i assume though, you meant to phrase that in the
form of a question...mayb e ending the thought with 'how would i go about
doing that?'.
in that case, i'd assume you'd have googled a miriad of examples and tried a
few. or, you may have searched here for even more specific implementations
(which i myself have posted in-depth and without the security holes your
initial thought leaves in play). and, since i know you've done your
homework, i'd next ask to see the portion(s) of code that are giving you
problems. then, i think everyone here would be willing to help...since i'm
sure you aren't asking to build a full-fledged implementation without regard
to consideration, i.e. payment.

No.
What if I know someone's emailadress?
Preferably you use some random unrelated hash for this, which you can
create, store locally, and send out in the email, so it can be rechecked
(and discarded) after comfirmation. Still good for a one-time login, not
reusable or predictable for anyone.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to use Php to
automate confirmation of someone joining an email list by them replying
to an email (so they don't have to have a browser?).
I will probably use a hyperlink with a unique ID, but I also want to
know how to go about reading from a mailbox with Php so I can use an
email reply method, too.

Hi All,
I am trying to understand the blocking method socket.Send().
The call blocks as expected, but does this mean, it returnes after the
underlying TCP layer got a confirmation, that the send data was received by
the socket on the remote end? Can I count on that? Do I understand TCP
correctly in that, it gives confirmation ? I do not
expect, that a .Net based receiver got that data when socket.Send()
terminates!

sendmail in .NET 2.0 is as useless as it was in .NET 1.x
I can't find out how to make it work. Not to mention how to write a setup
project that tests/installs its requirements correctly.
the difference to previous version is that .NET 1.x gave no error message at
all and .NET 2.0 gives useless error message when sendmail fails.
why is Microsoft not able to ship a sendmail class that works out of the box

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
