I agree that there is nothing new or unique is going on here. As far as the buyer is concerned, a web page is a web page is a web page. So you show up with your django and whatsit, and BIT grad shows up with his Instant PHP, and buyer knows not the difference. Until of course (as in this case) they try it out. It is an common problem.
Reminds me of a recent experience: A friend and I took an 1000km roundtrip from to one of those world-wonder sites in a foreign land. The vehicle we used is a chinese-made GWM pickup. A company car. The engine design is based on the D4D diesel engine found in the Toyota Hilux. Which, if you know your cars, would suggest the GWM could be half decent. And the pickup itself, looking at it, seems like it might deliver. Reality of course was another matter: The GWM is terrible. No 4WD, tortoise acceleration, car is falling apart, terrible drift at high speed. But his company had been convinced they were saving money without loss in utility. As with the CIT site hacking, we live and learn. P. On Jun 07, 2011, at 11:46, Stephen S.
