    Here are some things to think about:

    Poll workers not showing up on time? Not knowing how to boot up the machines? Yeah, that sounds like sabotage.

    There is a obviously a lack of voting system knowledge with the people people that are running the polls. Mind you they are most older than my grandmother (poll workers and voters alike).

    Did it ever occur to you that we might just be dealing with stupid people?

    I think we might have to print pictures of the people and give the old folks a crayon and have them circle the person they want to elect.

    ASP runs on Windows, Solaris, and Linux. That's three.

    IIRC, ASP does not allow direct sockets access for security purposes. If you really want to manipulate connections like that, write a server-side ActiveX Control. That's the "right" way to do it.

  13. Re:how relevant is PHP today? on Programming PHP · · Score: 2

    Tell me about it. PHP is good if you are running a small MySQL-based webzine but if you're doing e-Commerce or anything database-intensive, as most high-volume sites show, use ASP, JSP, or precompiled-binaries (in the case of eBay's ISAPI interface).

    ASP is for people who don't mind paying for a good programming environment.

  16. Re:Why fix what ain't broken?? on Sites Rejecting Apache 2? · · Score: 2

    Hmm... by cgi-bin I meant that in IIS you can assign each virtual directory as an "application" which runs as a designated user at the requested process protection level (low - in process; medium - pooled; high - separate process). This includes non-CGI dynamic content, such as ASP pages (and PHP, etc too I assume if you install the plug-in) not just straight CGI. I guess since IIS is so tightly integrated with NT, linking to the SIDs is not a problem; it would be nice to see Apache 2 support that, on both Unix and Win32.

  17. Re:Why fix what ain't broken?? on Sites Rejecting Apache 2? · · Score: 2

    To address this problem, Apache 2 has the perchild MPM [apache.org] which allows a virtual host to have it's own process fork, uid/gid, and thread pool. Unfortunately, the perchild MPM is not presently stable.

    Is this similar to IIS's ability to let each cgi-bin run as its own, user-specified user? Like if I create the user Fred, and only allow him NTFS permissions on his own cgi-bin, and nothing else, that cgi instance will only be able to read Fred's cgi-bin files.

    Does this work with an ACL addon to Linux?
