Okay, since none of you guys like my question, let me rephrase it. User logs into an HTML form. With JavaScript, their password is hashed locally (salted too). The server knows what the password + salt should be, user is already registered, blahblahblah. Now the user requests a page. The server sends a random ID to the user. When t...

I know that being open source does not necessarily makes a program more/less secure than closed source (let's assume this neutrality, to keep flames out of this post). Fact is: since the source code is open, everybody knows your defaults urls, default administrator logins, etc. I'm using Wordpress and Joomla in some projects of my clien...

I'm building a site for a friend for free, and am trying to work out a good way for her to be able to easily make updates. I haven't used any CMSs before.

I've written some simple software which helps me manage and disseminate engineering data on a company intranet. It's pretty flexible about adapting to new content and I wonder if it justifies the description 'Content Management System.
