I think Interchange also lacks a good "community", so unless you're up to the steep learning curve or want to PAY the dev team to do it for you, well, this is why people choose OSC. But if I had to go with OSC, I'd go with Zen Cart instead.
yah, the popularity of osCommerce and the realitive ease of install (much like phpBB) really lets this become a great hax0r target.
installed once, never updated...
The problem with keeping osCommerce "up to date" is that they do not separate design from logic (templates), so it is impossible to customize your site from the default without editing A LOT of code. Combine that with any "mods" you install, once you get to the point where you have something that is useful and presentable, it just isn't practical to up date when it's synonymous with starting from scratch.
If you have a mailing list, and your output to AOL addresses exceeds some unknown number, your subscribers at AOL will not be getting them. So "why does this matter" is relevent, I guess, only if your mailing list subscribers include a lot of AOLers...
So it wouldn't be a troll for me to "speculate" about your IQ or whatever else might be offensive to you?
Go right ahead. I have no idea what my IQ is, so whateve I might say about that would only be speculation as well. As to whats offensive to me? Very little, but you can try...
This seems to be a really dumb move. Its basically telling the world that its ok for the US to take over foreign companies, but its not ok for foreign companies to take over a US business.
It is a dumb move, but you're not making sense. Foreign companies buy controlling interests in US companies all the time. And the company Dubai Ports wants to buy is British owned anyway.
It's not a "troll". There is quite a bit of evidence that the port deal has to do with money interests of friends of GWB, otherwise the White House would not have push for it. Speculation maybe, but not a "troll".
Yeah, great idea - Because, y'know, the "land of the free" would never try to force Google to turn over its search records.
So... Are you suggesting it's a waste of time moving these records out of China? Are you suggesting Google start a repository on the Moon? You got a better idea, or do you intend on just moaning, bitching, and complaining? Honestly, if you've got a better idea for Google, why not let us all know?
For some reason, making money on the web is looked down apon here at Slashdot (nevermind that Slashdot itself is awash in ads, and produces no original content at all). It's really just more of the double speak that comes out of wanna-be socialist's mouths that it's not OK for you to make money on the web, but hey, I got to eat...
For big orgs with a lot of technical users, RT is fine but for a small simple operation it's hopelessly overcomplicated. He wouldn't find that out without spending a week googling and reading reviews and articles
Yes, but you have an AOL address, I mean with NihirNighthawk@aol.com what do you expect? I wouldn't be surprised if Slashdotters unscrambled it just BECAUSE it's an AOL address...
Slashdot Mirror
If this had been a Microsoft product, the tune here would be different. Much different.

...masturbation jokes.
No, it's is a "fork" in which much of the code base has been extensivly rewritten. But it's still crap next to Interchange
Interchange is a steller OSS package. Doesn't get much press, but by far the best "free" one out there.
Google? Maybe the name of the app joined with ".com"? Would you like me to wipe your ass, too?

osCommerce is a mess. The best thing to do is opt for the fork, Zen Cart.

I guess I didn't know Snort was an encryptation application. I thought is was a network intrusion suite.

No, it's pointing out a double standard that seems to have its root in cronyism and personal financial interests.
Obviously, none of George Bush's friends or cronies have any financial interest in Check Point...

You're welcome!
Bullshit.
Does nobody at all do even a Google search before asking questions here. A ticket tracking system? Hmmm.....
Should be more like a Nigerian scam letter...

But you know what they say about geek girlz, right? They're wild in the sack, they'll do anything you want, they'll ware you out!
You got it, baby.
I think he's probably trying to get laid.
