Actually not really. On the lot you are shown the car they unlock and open the doors and start the engine. Then you are told you should lock the doors for security. You don't follow the suggestion and your car can be stolen.
When you install CF it is installed in a base format with the equivalent of the doors unlocked and open and the engine running. Adobe then suggests that you use the lockdown guide to secure your server. You don't follow the suggestion and your server can be stolen. This is not a false analogy because it is comparing the direct actions of the person, the product is not relevant and the actions compared are directly related to the results. It does not state that the car will always be stolen, nor does it state that the server will always be stolen. There is no inference (a person is lazy because their sibling is lazy), it is a direct comparison of the results that occur when the same event happens with two different products and who is really to blame. You can't blame Ford for your direct inaction to what they said and you can't blame Adobe for your inaction when it comes to the lockdown guide. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Cameron [mailto:dacc...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 10:55 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: "The long tail of ColdFusion fail" The doors are locked by default though, aren't they?
