    Since I am not a regular reader of bugtraq or anything of the like, I think its nice when a big hole in a product appears on slashdot. With that being said, if every little open or closed source bug appeared on slashdot, smack on the front page, then I should say that this page's focus would be altered.

    I do see your point however, that some bugs seem to be presented in a more obfucated way than others are.
