I use a Minty and it works just fine.

By the way, try viewing altoids.com with NoScript or Flashblock enabled.

If it easy to develop, publishers won't invest $10 million to develop something any home programmer could write on their own PC

There is at least one Flash game:

Curiously Strong All Night Long

And there is Hapland, but that is probably more of a puzzle game.

I was addicted to Bawls for a few years until I decided to cut back. I started eating Altoids instead whenever I felt the craving for caffeine. I ended up healthier and eat better, unaddicted to caffeine, and grew 2 cavities.

Damn Altoids are half sugar!

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

There can be only one Altoid

And that is the original peppermint, which is luckily not available in extra strength.

We're all glad HP backed down, but what scares me is that the "Responsible Disclosure" FUD continues. On Bugtraq people write that CERT and SecurtyFocus are "established parties" and everyone who does not give them their so-called "0days" is irresponsible (at least CERT is known to sell 0days). I personally won't give them my 0days early.

The "Responsible Disclosure" draft continues to get advertised, though it was not approved by the IETF .

Why do people think about giving away the right of free speech just because of some FUD?

Even in the unlikely case if this bad RFC passes, does it mean that that people are safer when they disclose problems - I definitely don't think so personally.

So the facts are: some companies can't write secure code, and it is more expensive to write code securely.

Just check "Help -> About" on Windows before using the word "responsibility".

The easiest solution is to shoot the messenger and to outlaw saying the emperor has no clothes. But this won't fix the problem in the real world. Such regulations will only alienate a lot of people and will make things worse.

Why do all the screenshots say "Altos"
