Unsanity Developer Comes to APE's Defense

Posted by pudge on from the kill-teletubby-smash dept.

beelsebob writes "Rosyna, the famously tellytubby-like Unsanity Developer has spoken out in the defense of their Application Enhancer (APE) framework. The framework has taken a beating since it came out, being accused of being spyware, or of crashing computers. In fact Unsanity have only received one bug report about APE itself, which was promptly fixed. The article is a very good defence of the product, and a very good read."

    I mean, really, anything that makes the computer, at any level, unstable is not worth using.

    So can I take this to mean the only thing you're running on your computer is a hand coded BIOS that you have personaly coded to ensure that there is no possible way it could cause a crash?

    Insightful!? He didn't RTFA! But neither did the jerk of a moderator, so who's the real culprit? Propose a new word: jerkmod.

    Because the APE module attaches to every running application, if it is itself unstable, it can make all your applications unstable.

    I'm glad Ken Thompson is still alive, because if he wasn't, he'd roll over in his grave if he heard that.
