Get firefox.

Okay, with this, my anti-anti-microsoft campaign comes to a close. Microsoft is a hard place to work for, on one hand, I'd love to not bash them, but on the other hand, THEY MAKE THIS JOB SO F*CKING DIFFICULT!

all this time i thought you were joking martin
oh, and welcome back!

this article sounds eerily similar to the book "Digital Fortress"by Dan Brown
the NSA tried to make a "backdoor" in a universal encryption algorithm that only highly trained and paid programmers knew about but eventually, some "normal" person figures it out and well, this pretty much happened ...

Nah, I've been using Linux and Firefox this whole time, I just thought that Microsoft needed a helping hand. Apparently they don't want it.

When will peoleop lrean that windows and other M$ products like IE are a secuity hole in them self. Also since they baslicly bulit IE in to windows it means any secuity hole in IE is one in your OS. Some times i whonder if they check the secuity on there stuff at all b4 they ship it. I mean if they toke some of the ideas form unix for secuity they could be fixing alot of thess problems. the reason why there are so few unix/linux virus is not just b/c it is less popular but b/c it is alot harder to do (not imposabl tho). Also if they made there stuff open sorce thess issues could be found and fixed sooner. also whould force M$ to fix them right away them selves and make good code.
