OpenSource is cheaper... bah!
There are people you pay to administer it. Same as anything else. We've been over this before, however. Free don't mean Free. Expensive don't mean expensive. Well, you know. That whole idea. Nick, the source code can directly tell you it's secure, that's what all source code could do. Only one way takes decompilers, and it's illegal to contribute. Don't get me wrong, security isn't some achievable thing. Sorta like bullet proof. Or fire proof. Hrm. ( Should those be hyphenated? Where's word when you need it. :P =] ) There's no "right" answer, and I really like the diversity, as much as I bitch about stuff-- I don't think I'd have it any other way. More fun to just sorta watch it unfold around me, if that makes sense. Open source, closed source, single points or multiple. It's all good. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227219 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
