    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?

     

    The problem was probably with the IIS connector, which unfortunatelly had to be written in C.  Since we use Apache, this doesn't apply to us.  

    This is like saying that a bug in mod_php is a bug in the PHP language.  



  • @russ0519 said:

    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.

    Evidence of nothing, except that nobody could be bothered.  You don't think a functional language could present a more elegant solution?  Just because CF does a bunch of stuff under the covers doesn't mean it's better.  I mistakenly thought you'd get that point from my Rails example.

    @russ0519 said:

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

    I though you were ignoring me?  If you are genuinely interested, I'm getting quotes for SQL 2005 Standard 1 Socket license, as well as other software and hardware as part of our upgrade strategy for this year.  Since it will allow me to do DB mirroring, its worth the upgrade. 

    I still haven't heard anyone here comment on whether that is actually stable or not.  Is noone using it?

    Are you talking about the mod_php connector is the IIS connector?  The IIS connector is not part of the language.  While it's generously provided by Adobe, it's part of JRUN, on top of which CF usually runs.  It can also run on top of WebSphere, Tomcat, etc.

    That code is production ready.  If I need to write a one page site that just does that, there is nothing wrong with putting it in production.  

    There is no point setting up an MVC framework just to make a single page work.  In fact, I think you're retarded for even suggesting it.

    Well I never said least lines of code, i just said more elegant.  Speaking of LOC though, if I can write something in CF that takes me 1/3 of LOC that it does in .NET, how does it not make CF better?

    Again, all you proved is that people couldn't be bothered to respond to a trivial challenge catering only to those languages with built-in database support.

    @russ0519 said:

    I don't think you're being fair here.  What you used is a code generator in a framework.  CF has frameworks too, and some of them have code generators.
    Yes and no.  My point is that Rails does all the database interaction automagically, but that doesn't prove it better than anything else.  But if you want to get technical, a framework doesn't really have any bearing on the programming language itself.  Ruby is far nicer than CF, too, by the way.

    @russ0519 said:

    What exactly does CF do "under the covers" that .NET doesn't?  Would you rather we all developed web sites using machine language?   
      I know this is hard for you, what with multiple people trying to explain how wrong you are, but when you see that guy over on the left with the yellow supernova behind him, that means the guy who wrote that post probably isn't using .NET.

      Again, you might want to order a sense of humor.  While I certainly believe Python is better than Perl, the rest was at least half jest.  But if you really are curious, how about many services from Google?
