  3. Re:PHP security checker on Tools To Automate Checking of Software Design · · Score: 1

    Making a tool to check most programs for errors sounds extremely complicated, but wouldn't it be possible to make a more simple tool that checks the security of a PHP/MySQL website?

    If this would be a thread about car safety, you would be saying something along the lines of "It's nice that cars are safe and all, but can I have an apple?"

  11. Re:Games in Perl? on Developing Games with Perl and SDL · · Score: 1

    Your are correct actually, in my little joke I should have added the 6.0 after 'Visual Basic'. I code .NET also (although c#) and indeed, both the languages are a pleasure. I can't wait for the whole managed directx 10 hive to start.

  15. Strange thing to say ... on VMware to Make Server Product Free (as in beer) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    in the hope that customers who try it will eventually migrate to the more powerful ESX server

    It's not only more powerful, it's fundamentally different. It's requires a different sort of administration. Also, the usage is different. gsx wil rarely be actively used in high uptime required production environments, esx will. esx also enables functionalities such als vmotion (if you have a san that is) and will be used more often in blade server configs.

    I really wonder if people will view esx as an 'upgrade' to gsx.

  16. Re:Ajax? on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 1

    But how would that translate into practical use? Here (at my work) we use asp.net for server side coding. Using ajax ment nothing more then implementing an interface in the page (the ICallBackEventHandler), after which you wrote some code for the callback and some javascript to 'catch' the callback and set the innerHTML for some div.

    Both FF and IE reacted the same to this, it all worked fine. I never had to do any difficult ActiveX instantiation or something. Am I misunderstanding you?

  17. Ajax? on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the FA: IE 7 also includes a number of new features for Web developers, including support for up-and-coming Web-programming technologies known collectively as AJAX. How would they go about supporting this? Would it have a javascript extension for it or something? Really the only thing a browser needs to do for ajax is support the xml http request object, which IE does since 5.0 (I believe). The rest is up to the server side code. or not?

  18. This is sooo untrue! on Microsoft Tricks Hacker Into Jail · · Score: 2, Funny
