They phail at proper database security too

when trying to load the Digital Dailies from the Delgo site here

http://www.delgo.com/cgi-bin/dd/postlist.pl?Cat=&Board=f...

System Error: DBI connect('delgoDB:localhost','nobody',...) failed: Too many connections at modules/w3t.pm line 490

Nice way of giving away your db name and db username.


People really should learn to write abstracts


Definitely a case of "if we will build it, they will come" instead of iterate, iterate and listen to others.

Also could have run it through some models à la http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/10/16/061016fa_fact6


Seems like the creators thought in terms of "if we will build it, they will come". Marketing for this film seems to have been badly planned. Why didn't they release it regionally first, doing some marketing along the way?


Because it was bad, and the studio knew it?
