Software Democracy?

[Busyman]

you just announced you posted malicious code on the forum. i'm pretty sure they'll be rules against that. even there isn't specific ones in "forum rules" it's illegal anyway.

so what if it's an old version, you still pointed out a security flaw. one that was fixed after mozilla started hitting it big.

the word wasn't "cawk" it was "sex" but that was on a work pc so don't worry about it.



you are wrong. shut up.

I posted malicious code on what forum?
If you are going to be a snitch, so to speak, at least have all your facts straight.

The funny thing is I remember there being an explanation of the script telling people it would fuck up their browser and dipshits clicked it anyway...but that's not all of it.
The folks had the nerve to complain about it.
("I ate McDonald's food and it made me fat...I'm suing McDonald's.")

Other than that, EVERYTHING has a security flaw if you focus on fucking the target product up.

I've never had a virus fuck up my computer but I can purposely infect it without anti-virus software. It doesn't mean I have to switch to Apple.

As I said before, the security were pointed out well before me.

This.

When your os was attacked by spyware.

Uh huh.
Where the fuck was gay porn in that?

I also had no pop-up blocker.

Point is that contrary to your earlier statement, you got attacked while using a MS platform.

Mmmmmmk.

I don't look at that as an "attack" hence the quotes.

I look at an attack as something that disables my computer and not a very minor nuisance.

I guess everyone's annoyance level is different. Hell we've got folks on here who stand to see and block it and actually use the ignore function.

My tolerance level for shit like that is fairly low. So I use Firefox rather than IE

As I said, an unpatched computer. FF is the equivalent of a patch.

However, I never have had a problem with IE on my home computer having a minor attack.

I use IE 6 with a tabbed interface.

Same deal.

Yeah, I heard that tabbed interface is awesome at keeping the nasties out

In all honesty tho' using IE does leave you open to more things than using FF. It's the browser that ALL of the spyware and virii compilers target simply because 85% of interweb users surf with it.

I understand that you've never had problems before but I guess I'm a justincase kind of a guy and you're not

True.

That is funny though....

You "just in case" with your web browser but not with your personal security (your life).

To each his own I guess.

The main reason MS has those flaws is due to the clinging on to Active X components.

Installing a browser is hardly in the same league as having six guns and a pile of ninja stuff in my house - that rationale doesn't work for you tho'.

Maybe Dave was right and you're not a justincase guy, more of a mental weapons enthusiast.

OOooOOoo

Of course they aren't in the same league. Glad you got the point.

You brought up my "justincase" bit (uh huh I know).

I'm merely pointing out that some chance happening regarding my computer is utterly minor in comparison to one involving my life.

I just thought it was funny.

btw most of that ninja stuff isn't in the house.
