Stored procedures have added benefits such as additional security, and forcing application developers to implement database functionality properly, not sloppily.
After reading the article (I know we're not supposed to do that) I'm a little confused on if you backup an encrypted volume if the backup is also encrypted. If not, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of encrypting that data in the first place?
With Vista, the OS from MS that phones home more than any previous release, can we really trust it not to "Phone Home" the encryption keys of bitlocker once it's enabled?
well at least some of us did... best be careful what you say on the subject because someone modding this thread either is having that time of the month again, didn't evolve a sense of humor, or has a stick pertruding from where the sun doesn't shine.
Somewhere along the line I think I was trying to make a point, but it seems my family, the chimps are calling me out to play.

There are far too many people concerned with privacy, reliability, and security for web apps to be the end all replacement that everyone on the "Web 2.0" bandwagon wants. AJAX isn't very secure, I've yet to see an implementation of it that doesn't suck at least a little, not to mention it is much slower than static pages, and breaks conventional browsers most of the time.
Privacy: If you're working on a creative project, do you really want it held at the mercy of some other companies security measures? Some things just need to stay local and behind the firewall to have privacy. Unfortunately the upcoming generation doesn't understand what privacy is, nor do they care while their rights are being erroded in congress.
Reliability: Instead of just having your computer up and running, you would now have to have rely on your ISP to not have technical problems. If that isn't bad enough, you also have to rely on some server at some company that you have no idea what kind of security, privacy, or backup policies they have in place. If that weren't bad enough, you also have to rely on their connection being up. Some data (most) is just better kept locally. Another problem with remote apps, latency. Nothing is more frustrating then waiting a long time to make a simple change to an open file.
Security: As was previously mentioned, do you know what kind of security, privacy or backup policies are in place at the company hosting your webapp? Do you really trust other people with your data?
Performance: Another excellent point would be advanced computer games, you don't really think AJAX is going to be capable of providing the same kind of experience that running the next big "Half-Life 2" locally would be, did you?
Web apps have their place and Desktop apps have theirs. Neither one will overtake the other, they will only serve the purpose to extend or inhibit depending on your current state of connectivity.

They should have named it "FOIM", that would leave a simple 4 letter name like before, while telling AOL exactly what they and their lawyers can go do.
If you still haven't figured out what the FO in FOIM stands for, leave that up to your imagination...

oh wait, that's not what this article was about, dang it.

Since when did Microsoft add /dev/null to Windows Vista?

Oh no! They modded me down, guess they haven't developed the "sense of humor" genes yet.
doesn't mean that I did.
If the initial quality doesn't suffer because of this, then it will prove to be a nice update to hardware.

Just route all mail to /dev/null, that solves the problem.
Hey now be nice some toys need instruction manuals to operate. MySQL just happens to fit in that category.
To summarize the article: "The sheeple are consuming!"

Yes, Vista does some things right. They implement restrictions that make BSD/Linux far more appealing to the average consumer.
Long live the BSD license! Anything else is too complicated and restrictive.
