    Like they are doing for apache with 2/3rd market share on webb servers ?

    Get real!

    Like it or not - the basic security of the operating system greatly affects the total security for the computer. And like it or not MS Windows is not good in that regard.

    Actually its easier to revoke the domain adress of spammers. Ut will do 2 things

    1. Idiots who buy from spmmers cant visit the domain adress and thus cannot buy.

    2. Those stupid enough to buy services from spammers will lose their ability to do business on the net.

  4. Re:Murphy's Law strikes again. on Secure Programmer: Keep an Eye on Inputs · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that those checks in javascript happens on the client side and can be overridden by those smart enought to know what they are doing.

    So you must allways assume that even if you used javascript that something may be a problem with input data. One must always check the input in the server side cause one never know what a evil computer using criminal might send in.

    Too many use javascript for validation even hough it's useless for it. One always have to do validation in the server end anyway - doing it in javascript is mostly just a waste of developers time.

    Thus javascript sucks for input validation.

    You are right - because he missed one important point:

    Microsoft is for the first time going to offer dividend on its stock. It's a sure thing that the company no longer is a growth company.

    From an investor point of view I think the company is very pricy.

  24. Re:Since when is Bill Gates a security expert? on Gates: 'You don't need perfect code' for Security · · Score: 1

    Theoretically it is possible to write perfect code.

    So it's abtainable.

    If one do not aim to write perfect code - there will be bugs for sure...

    If one aim for perfect code - it may not be perfect, but nearly perfect.

    Look for examble on qmail - not many security fixes there!

    So its possible to write much better code than what is publicly possible to buy on the open market today.

    It is much cheaper - in total costs - to spend some extre mantime(read money) to make the code better when it is produced than to wait until it's already been delivered and used thus forces everyone to upgrade to squash the bug.

    One should always aim for great nugfree code!
