"That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting."
I couldn't fail to disagree with you less.
All seriousness aside, I think the original sentence Max was worried about could use some sort of emphasis.
… they're mutually exclusive
Maybe:
… they *are mutually exclusive if in fact they are. The original looks too much like it *could be a missing word.

Displaying the humility one would expect from a fine and upstanding cleric, the padre chose not to mention that Marvin, the permanently depressed android, was brought to life by the vocal talents of one Stephen Moore.

>One of the drawbacks of the CGI version of PHP is its inability to use PHP-based authentication. Besides the overall performance hit, this would be the other glaring drawback. There's nothing, however, stopping you from using your normal Web server-based authentication; they're mutually exclusive.
This is the sort of stuff I used to earn pretty good money translating (well, not this exactly, but I have a pretty good "ear" for this stuff and with just a few questions asked of the idiot who perpetrated it, I could usually translate into something normal people can understand.
I think what this says is:
There are two types of PHP. Avoid, if you can, the CGI type because your computer won't perform at optimum. Even if you do have the CGI type, it won't prevent you from using your normal authentication routines, since they don't interfere with one another.

Thanks, Ted. As it happens, i probably will be installing the CGI version of PHP, but only because it's said to easier to do so on Windows boxes, and because I'll only be installing it for testing purposes, to be able to check the php I write without having to ftp it to the server every time. I will have to chcek with my hosts to see which version of PHP is installed on their servers, though.

Just to reiterate, the CGI version of PHP DOES NOT HAVE ANY INTERNAL AUTHENTICATION ROUTINES. Or at least, it didn't used to. It relies on normal HTML authentication. It's a limitation of CGI. Therefore, awkward English and all, the original passage Max quoted is correct as it stands.
