I agree, we use Cold Fusion at work and it took me forever to figure out how to do anything complex. Anyone who created somthing useful that you would have liked to use and check the "guts" of the program always seemed to have encrypted the damnable thing. If it wasn't for GPL'd tags, I would never have figure out how to do alot of cool stuff.
I don't understand why people in the media wish to rehash the isuue of Linux forking. We have seen some really huge growth in the community lately and I still see cooperation (it seems) between the major Distro's to keep things from getting out of hand.
I have to agree with you. I have been using Borland's tools for windoze development since Delphi 2 and they made life much easier than M$'s tools. I look forward to being able to program for Linux with the same speed as I have under windoze. I wonder if I can still release my programs under the GPL if I use Kylix. Will using a propritary development tool prevent me from GLP'ing my code?
I was wondering if the motives behind these attacks are not just script kiddies out to have some fun or impress Jodi Foster, but if a foreign government may have sanctioned them. Perhaps for the purpose of sending a message to the US Government or to the world at large that they can shut down the web at will. In the history of human conflict any advancement in science is invariably used at some point to provide an advantage to one government over another. Up to now I have seen very little that would indicate that the web would become a new medium for launching terrorist attacks. Could this be changing? I would be interested to know if any computer security professional have given thought to this possibility.
