  1. Re:I dont get this drupal pushing on Drupal 6: Panels Cookbook · · Score: 1

    some knowledge of a particular app is inevitably necessary. after all, apps gain their own life after their codebase grows over a certain level.

    but, some apps are restrictive, and require more effort from the developer to get to know them, and also make development more time consuming for them and/or restrict them, even if they are very familiar with the app.

    in that drupal fails. it may have started with the best of intentions, however the point it ended up in the spectrum has been far from those intentions.

    http://www.google.com/search?q=drupal+disadvantages&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=vr8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&source=hp&q=drupal+sucks&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=9bef8cda26d1a6ec

    even if a bit outdated, many points in below article hold too.

    http://robozen.com/technology/drupal-sucks/

    zealots of drupal trumpet that 'if you are a competent developer, drupal is good for you'. i am a competent developer, that is working on many different apps and platforms on the web. if, an app requires me being a competent developer to be able to fully use it, then i understand that that app is lacking in modifyability and usability - because, a good app, would play like a flute at the hands of a competent developer. not, just work and do what other apps also do well.

    it is my understanding that the drupal zealot crowd has never heard the concept of 'keep it simple, stupid'.

    anyway, you will be alright if you go with anything else than drupal for average needs. joomla, wordpress may be good choices. however if your project is serious, then you may consider stuff like this : http://silverstripe.com/?v=b

    And if that is an indication of the work you to for that "codebase"

    above sentence is incomprehensible.

    link works. what doesnt work, is the complex seo friendly language virtual subdirectory rewriting mod_rewrite rules that are on the site .htaccess, due to apache 1 - apache 2 difference.

    it is an open source project. i will fix those rules when i have the time. anyone who is smart enough to google girigiriphp is free to acquire the thing from sourceforge and use it without language virtual subdirs on apache 2+ or with them on apache 1.x for now.

    i didnt see any other cms that is more development-hostile. it is surely nice for 'oh hey, i installed a module with one click from admin' crowd, but, when you attempt to go deep down, you see a real mess. i had to deal with it because a client requested it, but when they have seen that their not-so-extraordinary simple design requests required code changes than simply changing template files (forms are a bitch in drupal compared to other apps for example), they changed their mind about it.

  4. not to mention on Sony Files Lawsuit Against PS3 Hacker GeoHot · · Score: 1

    Sony advertised a feature and sold consoles under the guise you'd have that feature, and then removed that feature.

    that constitutes false advertising, deception in eu regulations, and eu would shove it up sony's ass.

  5. Re:Come on Sony! on Sony Files Lawsuit Against PS3 Hacker GeoHot · · Score: 1

    The naivety of this is amazing. When the mafia burning down someone's shop, it is not because they are trying to recup any losses, but rather to send a "Don't mess with us" message to OTHER shop owners.

    this is internet. count me the number of measures which have worked against hackers, hacking since 1980s. the bigger you make the punishment and the 'message', the more hackers get interested in it, and the more people get interested in hacking.

    this is not a filesharer situation. you may scare an idaho mom with a lawsuit by setting an example, and she may stop filesharing. but, that example you made makes the people from internet underground, who had made those files available for filesharing in the first place, become much more enthusiastic in doing it.

    the higher you make the punishment, the more you raise the stake of honor. the harder you punish, the harder you convince them to rightness of their actions.

    and judging from these filthy practices we are beholding, it is apparent that there is rightness in their righteousness after all.
