Is it just me, or does it seem like lately there have been A LOT of security issues found in web daemons?

Who has all the free time to find them?

Jack Tripper by Anonymous Coward · 2003-09-17 06:16 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - the father of gay sitcoms Jack Tripper was found dead in his Los Angeles appartment this morning. Janet and Chrissy were seen sobbing widly outside. There weren't any more details yet. I'm sure we'll all miss him, even if you weren't a fan of his work there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
