  1. Re:Where's the security section of the book? on PHP 5 in Practice · · Score: 2, Informative

    Application security should _not_ be the responsibility of the programming language. It should be the responsibility of the application developer.

    Couldn't agree more!

    Not to mention that PHP security is not that difficult to implement! If you verify =all= of your input (which you should be doing anyway, in any programming language, for any application), you've solved most of your security issues. If you allow a $_GET variable to go straight into an include statement without testing/filtering/verifying/SOMETHING, you don't understand security in the first place.

  6. Re:Microsoft seems to be confident that the Vista on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can see why they're confident: the upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows 98 was so easy and problem free!

    2) The probability that an unpatched PC behind a firewall will get "hacked" in the moment while you are downloading it is what... 0,2?
    I think you meant 0.002 percent. What, do you work for Verizon?
  8. Re:My prediction on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1
    In a few months, we'll get an announcement *with screenshots* about a "World of Darkness" online MMORPG game. They'll never specify a release date, and over the next couple of years, we'll hear less and less about it, until it is finally quietly cancelled. At that point, the companies will split up again.
    It's already in the works, didn't you hear? It's being released shortly after Duke Nukem Forever..
