Quote of the week:

Billy Hoffman, manager for HP software' security labs, added:
"Companies will say: 'We can Web 2.0ify your existing applications in
15 minutes - we've got a wrapper'. These people are charlatans, and
you should punch them in the face."

Not a bad policy.

Based on advice which is commonly given to newbies. I posted here about a
