[PHP-WIN] Re: coffee message

even QuickBasic and compiled as a DOS exe. This would let you access the
serial port and return the value of the sensor.
If you want to be really flash, a serial output could be connected to a
mains relay which could switch the coffee machine on from the computer!!!!

It is fascinating to see how this group explcitly (PHP-WIN) dedicated to M$
software warms for thge OpenSource software, and exploits the bad sides of
M$. But that's life isn't it?! We don't work with what we like to work with,
but what we got paid to work with.
Anyone doesn't running Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/Solaris at home raise a hand,
please.

But it uses a Motorola 6502, and that's been proven to be a secure CPU. By
the way it is Win200 and not Win2k.

> the way it is Win200 and not Win2k.
Is that their new embedded server OS?
B.A.T. Svensson
No, that's Windoes CE (CErebral cavernous malformations), Win200 in our in
house patched version of Win3.11 cross complied on a Microbee to a Sinclair
to complain with the Temperature Monitoring System, the Containment
Environmental Monitoring System and the Non Essential Service Water System
as described in IEEE 805.
As you guys might now, we some times over do our coffee a little bit here in
Harrisburg. Therefor one guy (actually the cleaner) thought it might be a
good idea to keep it monitored by a machine instead.
Alain Samoun
win200 is more secure.
A+

MS operating system. Some Dreamcast games were developed using Windows CE,
and ship with the OS on the GD-ROM. All of the other games use Sega's own
OS.
As for the large amount of MS bashing/anti-bashing going on here lately, I
always got the impression that the Windows part of this list more often than
not indicated the development platform, not the deployment platform. Each OS
has its uses.
I use Windows almost exclusively for my development (albeit with Apache not
IIS), and Linux/BSD (whatever my HSP uses) for the hosting. I would suspect
that most people here are running a similar setup.

Me! I don't run anything at home. OK, a Sega Dreamcast, but it's OS doesn't
count.
Once I leave work, I don't want anything to do with computers. My
girlfriend, dog, friends, motorcycles, bicycles, family...yes.
Computers...nope!

- apache+php4.0.6 on linux
- iis5+php4.0.6 on windows
:)
PS: Beside that I run the program for SETI@HOME :) on linux (13h average for
a packet) and on windows (40h average for a packet). The configuration for
computer that holds linux is worse than windows' one but still the average
it is better on linux :)

Actually, you bring up a good point. :)
But, if he's stuck with Win2k on a CMB VIC20 he might want to consider
ditching IIS5 and going with something really small, like Xitami. He can run
the exec() through PHP as suggested with minimal memory/processor usage.
I don't even want to consider the security aspects of a Win2K/IIS5 install
on a nuclear installation, though! :0
