Microsoft arms half-wit developers with PHP handgun

Thanks for the tip

This is exactly the sort of hosting I need for my new website which I wrote in an hour last night. it combines Twitter, Youtube, Ebay and Facebook, and I wrote a new CMS for it too.

TinyURL, your configs are showing

Congrats on the scoop

Wow. A thrilling expose of a website where you can see the phpinfo() output, and then some amateurish, unfounded conjecture that this "might" leave the site open to some "possible" security exploits.

The fact of the matter is that one phpinfo() output does not give you any sort of insight into whether a site is secure or not.

Well done. A tabloid version of an El Reg story.

Furse should not resign, she should be sacked

Missed opportunity

There was an opportunity here to have an intelligent discussion as to why the stock exchange should have some more clued in tech leadership. Instead what we have is the author blaming accenture because an ex employee is the CIO. Brilliant.

And yeah, a DR running a different version of the software, because that is what a DR system is for....

Oh hang on a second. I also see David Lester worked previously worked for Thomson Financial, they should carry the can somehow too right?

I came across the following article when doing a bit of online research myself:

Gives some more interesting insights than the author's rant about how things were great in his day and everyone should be fired etc.
