    will be 'flawed' if you get a keylogger on my pc since the majority rely on me supposedly knowing something you dont, until the logger records it for you that is.

    Absolutely right, 2 years ago this was promoted as a nailed on Exchange/Outlook killer and Python would become the defacto programming language, claims that look moronic now.

    how the fuck is it resisting when he was allowed change it in the first place and they cleaned it up afterwards

  11. These companies on Search Companies Team Up Against Click Fraud · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think they are depending on the human/cheese hybrids from the moon finding their way back to earth in Camembert powered spaceships.

  24. Re:The problem with the alternatives to PHP on Pro PHP Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You seem to be overlooking the fact that Ruby and Python were not designed or primarily intended as web authoring languages, I know PHP has stumbled around and 'rediscovered' itself several times but its primary focus has always been web pages and web apps. You will see this start to change though, particulary for any sort of sizable web app as the frameworks built in Ruby and Python become more sophisticated.
