All Programs compiled in Delphi are secure
Explain. Do tell. How does a language manage to be Turing-complete and
at the same time provably secure? (Hint - Turing-complete includes the
possibility of a program infinite looping, so at the very least, there's
the possibility of a loop causing a DoS attack....)
Or did Delphi use some different definition of "secure"?
Valdis, I tend to like Delphi and agree with the guy, but you are 100%
correct.
That is because [especially] in the world of security the following
words should be banned: all, every, never, etc.
I bet that if you put a backdoor into a program written in Delphi it
will no longer be 100% secure, right? That may be a bit of immature
nitpicking, but really..
