Firefox security (Really Windows Security or Lack Thereof - ED)
[ED: Oh, the horror - well this really is more about the lack of Windows IE security than the supposed object of interest. In physics scattering probability from a given nucleus is measure in terms of "barns" that if compared to the content here would be strictly proportional to the physical size and packing density, i.e. size of the program and how dense the number of targets in use on the internet. In nuclear physics and here too on a more mundane topic the interactions are much more complex than simple a priori probability. To be a worthwhile target in the case of a browser it must allow a pathway to either control or damage the target system, hence, even were the numbers reduced the integration of IE directly to the OS makes it still a more tempting target. Moreover, being more easily compromised just adds to its inherent attractiveness.
So if you like to read why IE, Windows are not inherently at fault, this is a simple minded article for you - HC]

Comment of the Day - January 12, 2006 - Refreshing View on Piracy
Haven't watched it yet, don't know if it's cr*p or not.
But, when I put the DVD to my PS2 to watch it, up jumps a commercial.
It was that commercial that made me write this.
"You wouldn't steal this, you wouldn't steal that. You wouldn't steal a movie, right? Movie piracy is stealing. Stealing is against the law. Piracy is a crime."
Failure to Curb Microsoft Falls Over to Massachusetts
Maybe the title should have been "Does Microsoft Use the DOJ as a Shill Against Linux and any other competitive threats?"

Microsoft Pushing the Platform
In response to The Boston Globe In Agony Over Peter Quinn?, Gary writes: Big media is corrupt and long ago lost the trust of their readership... Where's the Department of Justice? Or how about Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly? Talk about being asleep at the switch! And it's not just the reprehensible array of intimidation, FUD, and outrageous corruption of democratic processes to further their own business needs that should cause us all to shout loudly that Microsoft be immediately hauled back in the docket.
