Hey Lenny, what do you call a modern application that's only running ColdFusion 4.5 and suffers from serious spaghetti code?

Still better than ASP!

But ColdFusion's dead, and ASP isn't ! ComputerWorld said so - it must be true !

Come on! Let's face it. ColdFusion is horrible. If ColdFusion was worth anything, I think it would be used by MORE than just 75 of the Fortune 100 companies:

Frankly, 75 is just embarrassing! I don't know how ColdFusion gets out of bed in the morning?!?

Great! hahaha!

I'm glad that this comic strip didn't have the word "wife" on it. :)

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
Ben, sorry if I didn't make this clear. You can make it work like that if you want, just put <cfset session.foo = 1> (and <cfset application.foo = 1>) in your OnRequestStart() and it reve ... read »

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
@Todd, That's understandable. I am not sure if this really leaves any more security holes than the fact that using old cookie-based CFID / CFTOKEN values will create a new session using the old CFI ... read »
