Clone the CLOWN blows it again
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1591778&cid=31755996
"But the 3.6.2 update was ALREADY released WELL BEFORE the story was posted (Tuesday March 23, @02:51AM Eastern): https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2010/03/22/firefox-3-6-2-update-now-available-as-free-download/ Firefox 3.6.2 update now available as free download Version 3.6.2 was released THE DAY BEFORE this story even posted! Once again you are caught in your BOLD-FACED LIES, LOL! - by clone53421 (1310749) on Monday April 05, @01:36PM (#31736454) Journal
Clone - How stupid do you feel? FireFox turned up YET ANOTHER SECURITY BUG & right when you shot your big libellous mouth off in that quote above on 04/05/2010 above
(Thus, yet another security bug surfaced in FireFox 3.6.2 in that time frame, yet again, 2x that week it appears (LOL!)).
Clone - How stupid do you feel?

Mozilla Firefox DOM Node Moving Use-After-Free Vulnerability:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39175/
Release Date 2010-04-02
Last Update 2010-04-06----
Now everyone here will see how stupid you are, repeatedly, in all of your posts... lol!
Clone - tell us, what came out the next day after you posted your crap I quoted above, Clone the CLOWN, you utter dimwit?
FireFox 3.6.3!
Why?? Because YET ANOTHER SECURITY VULNERABILITY SURFACED THAT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY in FIREFOX, YET AGAIN, lmao...
"too, Too, TOO EASY!"
Obviously clone the clown, you lost yet again, and you obviously have done nothing with your wasted life, based on such a stupid mistake on your part above CLOWN. Obviously, You're too stupid to exist CLOWN, and it's no small wonder that all you do is post on slashdot all day, as you don't have enough skills or degrees necessary to your name in computing to actually have or hold a job in the sciences of computing.

Re:Update Links
You seem to be looking for the Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI). It will scan your Windows OS plus common applications and plugins (including Flash and Java) to tell you whether any are out of date from a security point of view. Warnings about out of date programs include a link to the updated versions.
Ironically, the software is written in Java. The online scanner doesn't require any installation, though Secunia does offer an installable version.

OPERA TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE in speed & security
"One browser can be taken down by others? I thought they should have been competing on technical excellence instead of name recognition" - by headkase (533448) on Friday April 09, @03:22PM (#31793430)
Agreed headcase, & here is WHY (w/ backing evidences).
Well, Opera's KING IN SPEED in BOTH HTML related parsing work PLUS JAVASCRIPT SPEED (especially on the MOST USED PLATFORM THERE IS IN COMPUTING, in Windows)... &, security too (less security bugs in current builds) read on:
NOW, as far as "SPEED & SECURITY" online, & Opera vs. FireFox vs. IE?? Ok:

A.) For SPEED (& Opera led there for the LONGEST TIME, yes, even in javascript for the LONGEST time, until FF's new engines took its place (until Opera 10.50 @ least, because that's gotten a decent "boost" in that area -> http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/12/22/1911216 (not that it matters though, speeding up javascript is like asking to get infected by malscripted sites &/or adbanners faster imo @ least - that of a "POV" of PC security, mostly)):

However, the last bug in 3.6 a week or two back?
FF Turned up another one shortly after, forcing 3.6.2 to issue!
Which again, turned up another security bug, forcing 3.6.3 to issue... Which, shows the "holes" but, it also (in FF's defense) showing the FF team's doing their job diligently too... & I've helped the FF team spot bugs before, years ago, when it was the build before FireFOX (FireBird iirc?

http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/german-government-warns-citizens-off-ie-664181
FireFox had a bug in 3.6 though, & Chrome bore multiple KNOWN vulnerabilities recently (now patched though) & it's not nearly as fast as Opera is (none of them are, especially on the most used OS platform there is, in Windows), BUT, Apple's Safari currently does -> http://secunia.com/advisories/product/25519/

See subject-line above, & face facts: You are just trying to troll me it seems, because all I ask of you, is to show me more current data on speed OR security, vs. what I put up below (which is current, recent, & PAST data as well, backing my points on OPERA's SUPERIORITY IN SPEED AND SECURITY, period... you can't disprove the data I use, & you've shot your mouth off & lost... face it, lol... man!)

Re:Anyone with more info?
Agreed. The press release states that Secuina "...announced that their renowned authenticated internal vulnerability scanner
... has been integrated with ... WSUS..."Is this third party patch management or just a vulnerability scanner built in to WSUS?
Scanning is neat, but it would be one hell of a lot nicer if I could make sure Flash & Java are updated as easily as the latest Windows updates.

Re:Free software in action
Yes, but there is this little detail, which, if you had read http://secunia.com/advisories/38608, you would know. It was not clear that this was a real bug, there were no details known. A fairly unknown researcher claimed there was a zero day in firefox, without giving enough details to tell where the bug is.
Gee, I bet you don't stand up for Microsoft or Apple when "it was not clear that this was a real bug, there were no details known".

Vulnerability Report: Opera 10.x:
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/26745/
Unpatched 0% (0 of 5 Secunia advisories)
So when the parent asks for "software that was correctly written and had no exploits to begin with", you provide one that has had 9 vulnerabilities as noted in 5 reports, 60% of which are classified as highly critical with the rest as moderately critical. Excellent work.
Don't get me wrong - Opera is a fine browser and definitely worth consideration. But it hardly meets the criteria.

Re:Free software in action
Yes, but there is this little detail, which, if you had read http://secunia.com/advisories/38608, you would know. It was not clear that this was a real bug, there were no details known.
A fairly unknown researcher claimed there was a zero day in firefox, without giving enough details to tell where the bug is.
So what happened was that somebody, who we not know if he is to be trusted, claimed there was a bug. Imagine!
Reaction time from knowing the details to roll-out was far better, at least in this case. This is probably not the best bug to be making a point against patching policy with OSS. -
