Another vulnerability has been found in Microsoft Windows 98...

Escape your need for functionality, well-documented behaviors and the ability to freely import and export zone data without being a 15th-century sorcerer.

Hey, this guy offers $10,000.00 to anyone who can disprove his *AHEM* theory, and no-one has taken HIS money.

With all of the security news lately, I am too scared to run Apache, IIS, Exchange, lpr, lprng, mySQL, PostgreSQL, Outlook, Outlook Express, map Netware drives to Win 9x clients, X11, use any program that requires glibc, or use BIND 4 or 8 or any DNS for that matter. My computer sits in a locked closet, lacks input devices, and runs only the OpenBSD kernel and nothing else.

  You'd better finish securing it, then.
  
  Cut the power cord and fill the closet with cement.
