    LOL, yes, I hadn't quite realised how long this thread had got.

    l don't think 'barely legible' is quite fair, you said that any OS cold/should be considered good if the hardware it's run on supports it (forgive me if I misunderstood you here; I had been reading the thread from the OP to the comment I replied to so I don't think it was out of context.), however I think an OSs merits should be judged on it's ability to enable me to do what I want with the programs I want. That's all.

     However, you're quite right, I should've checked the date/length of thread before responding, so for that, I apologise. :)

    According to Mark Russinovich, Vista SP1 has big improvements here:

    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/02/04/2826167.aspx 

     

    Thanks for resurrecting this dead thread with information that could be found on the first page of the thread.

     

    Oh, can you please tell me where I can find somehow detailed information about these improvements in this thread? I found statements that there were improvements (for example in the SP1 whitepaper), but no details. The link above gives an article with some technical details.

     Perhaps I am missing something, but I thought some details would not harm. Perhaps, I am mistaken here?

    This thread wasn't started as a flameware thread, it is YOU who turned it into one.  And apparently for no good reason either, for if you had any knowledge of SQL Server whatsoever, you would've told me that SQL 2005 Standard Edition supports DB mirroring, which doesn't require shared storage, and just might make the $5-$10k price worth it.  

    Speaking of which is anyone using DB mirroring for high availability?  Is it stable?

    And if you were any kind of an IT professional, you'd have known this yourself because you would have investigated it at the source, the Microsoft web site.

    So once again you've proven that you should find a line of work in which you'd be competent. The McDonald's down the street from my office is hiring; I noticed when I went through the drive thru for coffee this morning. Just don't ask me for a recommendation; I go there almost every day, and wouldn't want them to think less of me.

    Oh, absolutely.  If a project exceeds 3 lines of code, I'm just hopeless!  Actually, I just took exception to the whole thing, because it's a lame question for any but a small number of languages.

    Indeed, the rest of us have and use DALs and proper three tiered architectures that don't require changing any code to jump to a new database... But obviously that is the inferior technology... Embedding all of your queries in your code, and having to change 'millions of lines' of code is obviously far superior. Even if upgrading your database becomes a business-killing venture...

    And on the serious tip, you really want to talk about Fisher Price languages while you're working in CF?

    So are you saying that you have a DAL that will automagically make your code run on any DB server?  So assuming you're using MS SQL, you can just change the connection string to point to MySQL and your code would just work?  I'd like to see that.  Do you not use any stored procedures in your DB?  Do you think they would just work on MySQL?

    When you use a DAL, don't you need to recode it to work with a new DB platform?  Sure things like scaffolding can make this easier, but they can't rebuild the whole thing for you.  Then again, maybe I don't know how DALs are done in Fisher Price language.

    It was an example meant to illustrate the power and elegance of CF.  If you would like to post a better example that applies to a larger number of languages (as long as it's in the scope of developing websites), why don't you go for it and post your own.  I would really love to see why you think that .NET is a better language.

    Yes, just about any decent developer/shop/codebase WOULD have this. And I don't need to change the connection string. They are all right there. I just use my config to tell it which db to use. New sites require changes to the connection strings, and that is all. One application running on two or three different DBs is not uncommon when working with customers with existing infrastructures. Switching between MySQL, SQL Server 2000/2005/2008, Postgre, Progress is daily stuff when you actually know what you are doing. Letting my code do the work for me is all a part of that.

    Some of us don't work on web apps.  And yet, we still use databases.  But if you want to limit yourself to just web applications, I'd still choose a whole bunch of languages over CF.



  • @russ0519 said:

    And that is the key. You develop websites. Many of the rest of us actually write applications which need a much more powerful framework. Not only can my code easily run on any DB I want it to, I can also run it on Windows, Linux and MacOS. I can take the code and run it through a web app, a Windows Forms application, WPF, XAML browser app, or whatever I want.

    As far as proof, 2 seconds of googling will get you this: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34045

    ColdFusion is built on the  J2EE platform, and is therefore not susceptible to buffer overflows.  Sure, it makes it run a little slower, but the added protection is well worth it.

    Oh really?

    Great you found a buffer overflow in IIS from 6 years ago.  Good job.

    Yeah alright, that is why it is a Coldfusion patch. Ok.

    You have come here to preach about Coldfusion and anti-MS crap and you have not had a single argument worth anything so far. How does it feel to fail at life?

    I'd love to hear how CF is not superior to PHP.  First of all, PHP is written in C, AFAIK.  This, while makes it run slightly faster, opens it up to buffer overflows which are exploited each and every day.
    And what do you think the JVM was written in, LISP?  Just because the Java language isn't susceptible to buffer overflows doesn't mean that the JVM isn't.

    That's true, but this is like saying that the .NET framework has buffer overflows (which I'm sure it does), but there is a much greater chance that your code would have a buffer overflow then the .NET framework.

    Apart from CF being a more elegant language,
    A claim you haven't proven.

    And you haven't disproven.  Check the other thread.  Other then possibly rails, CF is the most elegant solution.

    it also comes with a ton of features which are not included in PHP, although I'm sure some of them can be added on by third parties.   
    And another one.

    I only said that CF is the best tool for develping web apps (with the possible exception of RoR).  I'd like to see what other languages you would choose over CF and why.
      It's all about the problem I'm trying to solve.  There's no one programming language that solves all problems better than every other language, but I cannot think of a problem domain wherein I would select ColdFusion as my language of choice.

     

    Yes it is all about the problem domain.  If you are writing websites, you use CF.  If you need a quick and dirty script to do some admin stuff on a linux box, you use perl.  If you build windows desktop apps, you use .NET.

    OMG!  Buffer overflow in teh Windows!!!!  Clearly, VMS is superior!  http://secunia.com/advisories/29704/
