  1. Re:A fractal of bad design on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 1

    You know what? You keep on working with Wordpress. I don't care. It's an exellent piece of software... really... it is.

  2. Re:A fractal of bad design on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 1

    Sure, you are right about that. But that doesn't make my point less true. Wordpress is a piece of garbage with a golden outer layer. The nice and shiny interface makes it even more dangerous. Because of that, many ignorant people use it. And we all know the result of that.

    If you don't agree with me, that's fine. But criticizing me instead of my message is simply cheap.

    ... checkout Drupal, it rocks!

    No, sorry. Can't do. My doctor doesn't allow it. My heart and brain are still recovering from my first contact with Drupal code 4 years ago.

    I'm afraid this damages your credibility somewhat for me. Functions are the things with 'function' in front of them, and there are rather a lot, even in WP!

    I know what functions are. Yes, the Wordpress code does use functions, but still every file is nothing more than a single list of instructions which makes it hard to read.

    Just compare the Wordpress code with the Banshee code and you'll see the difference.

  6. Re:A fractal of bad design on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Wordpress 'clean'?? Seriously??

    The only place where I use Wordpress is in my 'Secure Web Progamming' course. Wordpress is a beautiful example of how NOT to write your code. It has no MVC structure and has no single entry-point. The Wordpress developers probably never heard of functions, because every file is one big piece of lineair code. It offers no secure API for plugins, hence the very long list of insecure plugins. Wordpress is nothing more than a piece of junk that should be avoided by EVERYONE!

    You want a good example of a secure, clean and solid PHP framework? Try Banshee.

  7. There is no problem on Developers Begin Hunt For a Killer App For Google Glass · · Score: 1

    "Developers Begin Hunt For a Killer App For Google Glass" can also be described as "there is no problem, but we have a cool gadget that needs a purpose". And once a developer has found this 'killer app', Google will use it to market it as a solution to a non-existing problem. But, that's also not a problem, because when it comes to cool gadgets, we all want to be fooled.

    An ATM is not the same as a system holding medical records. Making a comparison doesn't prove anything.

  11. Get the details!! on Dutch MP Fined For Ethical Hacking · · Score: 4, Informative

    Many of you are probably missing interesting details. The login consisted of a 5 number digit with a password that was exactly the same! Another fact is that Henk Krol DID try to warn 'Diagnostiek voor U', twice! But they sent him away because 'that was not the way to report it'. He had to do it in writing. He also contacted two other governmental organisations responsible for organisations like 'Diagnostiek voor U', but they also sent him away saying it was not their problem. Henk Krol was not fined for the actual hacking, but for going to the press too soon. Come again...?

  12. Let's not overreact on Ruby On Rails SQL Injection Flaw Has Serious Real-Life Consequences · · Score: 1

    It is a computer system. Like *every* computer system, it has flaws and one of those flaws can be a security flaw. The real issue is how the flaw is being handled. One can deny it, one can secretly fix it or one can take responsiblity, inform its users and fix the issue. The last is the only correct way and it is the way the DigiD issue was handled. So, no 'real-life consequences', just another side effect of the digital age. It will soon be solved and live goes on. Nothing to see, move along.

    Don't do business with an American company or a company that has an office in the US if you plan to use its service to store sensitive information. This may sound a bit blunt, but for me it's the only proper answer to the patriot act.

  17. Banshee on Hiawatha on Ask Slashdot: What Web Platform For a Small Municipality? · · Score: 0

    Use the Banshee PHP framework on the Hiawatha webserver. Both have a strong focus on security and offer good speed. Use stuff like Drupal, Joomla and Concrete5 if you want your website to be extremely slow. Use Wordpress if you want guarantee to be hacked.

  23. Serious spagetti on SolarPHP 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    A simple 'grep' told me that this framework has 820 PHP files. I know the Solar site holds lots of documentation, but to know and understand a framework, I want to see what the code looks like. Just to get an idea of its quality and security. With 820 files, there is no way I'm every even going to give it a try. In my opinion, it should take less time to understand a framework than it takes time to build your own simple framework. This framework, with its many files and 'complex' structure and object extending, definitly failed on that one. Another one for my ignore list.
