  7. Re:Evaluate, evaluate, evaluate. on Migrating from Mambo to Another CMS? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I run a http://amitkulkarni.info/cms/ site on shared server and get around same 20000 visitors/month ... I use drupal and its fantastic .. i use a shared server.... i did evaluate months back and it boiled down to plone and drupal .. plone has a steep learning curve with many new things to learn.

    drupal is php + mysql.

    Drupal is truly out of the box, 1 sql installation query and admin password and ur standard site is up and running. couple of links and ur right left top bottom navigation is filled.

    It has builtin modules + addon modules like (guestbook, polls, blogs, custom content type) which are up n running in 3 clicks and firing an SQL query.

    And all this time i havent opened a single php file for editing !!!

    Their node concept is v powerful. basically a node is a content type presentation.

    They have search engine friendly URLs

    Almost all CMS have these features but i found drupal super simple to configure.

    Their documentation is exhaustive too

  19. Re:I just don't believe it! on Cybersecurity Chief Resigns · · Score: 1

    No fucking way, people remember the name of a performer from the Super Bowl after it was banged into their heads on every media outlet for two months straight? OMFG, I cannot believe it. You mean that these same people who are so concerned with the atrocities being fed to them on TV aren't concerned or knowledgeable about their computer? I can't believe it!

    Coz ur TV dude has to take action by "himself" to secure himself and he thinks it a burden. For him internet is a burden that he never asked for. He was happy paying bills physically, shopping offline at malls etc.

    These are Gen-P (generation previous ppl) mostly 45 and above whereas genX knows internet is THE way to do things and take security more seriously
