  1. Re:Consulting weak? on IT Trends In and Out of Downturn · · Score: 1

    consulting -> weak
    our sourcing -> booming

    Which should you choose? Our sourcing, of course!

  2. Re:Mistake in comments (Pet vs. Pets Warehouse) on Google sued as PetsWarehouse Lawsuit Continues. · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the guy made an error in his comment. He actually did in fact mean to speak poorly about Pets Warehouse, not Pet Warehouse.

    He later made an apology about the error.

  3. Passport Hacking Revisited on Passport vs. Plan 9 · · Score: 1

    Some people might find this interesting. Users of IE 5.5 and 6.0 who also use Microsoft Passport are vulnerable to impersonation, as is demonstrated in the following article:

    http://shiflett.org/articles/passport_hacking_revi sited/

    Recall the first example of Passport impersonation that was published in 2600 that demonstrated how to compromise the account of IE 4.0 - 5.0 users.

    Combined, this means that users of all versions of IE > 3 who also use Passport are exposed to a severe risk of impersonation.

  4. Re:mod_perl slow, php good on mod_perl Developer's Cookbook · · Score: 1

    You should read the post I was replying to.

    I did not make up these results, nor do I stand behind them. The results seem valid to me, because they simply reaffirm my suspicions.

    Yours obviously differ.

    As should be expected, PHP and mod_perl both use a considerably smaller amount of memory than others in the benchmark you reference.

    PHP has a small edge in database queries, while mod_perl has a small edge in logic efficiency and i/o.

    I would consider both to be professional-grade Web scripting languages and would recommend people choose their favorite based on which they find easiest to code with. For a lot of Perl developers, that is going to be mod_perl.
