missed the radio show due to some persistent scripts. Sometimes I wonder what the authors of php were thinking. I cannot imagine the roundtable meetings going anything like this:

1: Let's write a language that gives the power of the web to everyone.
2: By anyone, you mean everyone? Even giving remote access to our machines?
3: Oh, and when we distribute it, can we set values to make it easier for remote exploits?
1: Absolutely. In fact, I would even prefer it if it was slow, and required a paid module to get some semblance of speed out of it.
2: Hey, can we also ignore security technology that existed for 5 years and wrap it into a new API, forcing people to use a new version, and leaving everything so that it isn't backwards compatible?
3: Why not change our recommendations for a secure setup so that it breaks code, then, ship our package with insecure defaults because we don't want to break existing insecure code.

Actually, maybe that is what happened. I guess kudos are in order for Zend having met their goals.

Other than that, back to the grind for me.
