    Look you fucking idiot, exactly why can open source developers react quicker than closed source developers? Are they genetically enhanced? Are they robots? Is the source code somehow different? No.

    The difference between open source and closed source development times are exactly nil. I'm sick to fucking death of reading this FUD bullshit.

    In fact, read my lips, the only difference between the two is that one is publicly viewable, and the other isn't.

    That's it.

    Now, fuck off. :oD

    Interesting, I didn't see that on the Bashmork front page, along with the "OMFG TEH IE HAS TEH NEW VULNENRABINILITIE LOLOLOLOL!!!1!" submission next to the hysterical Gates borg icon.

    Ahhh, but this is Mozilla. They can keep vulns "private" for three years, ship spyware with Firefox, wipe out user's hard drives and still do no harm. Of course.

    How soon it seems MS bashers forget that this is a 1.02 is a SECURITY UPDATE. Seems everyone is vulnerable now a days! And this was posted fittingly by whom of course? Anonymous Coward. DWORD!

    This is moronic. We are talking about a program that is getting a lot of attention from a lot of people. Hell, my grandparents even use it.
    Best way to fix that is to totally remove winblows and then install any Linux distribution on your grandparent's machine. That will take care of the problem, especially if all they do is use email, word processing and surf the web.

    Turn off Javascript! I know I will get blasted to heck for saying this but Javascript is one gigantic security clusterfuck. Javascript will always be used for annoying things no matter how much popup-blocker trickery is put into the implementation. When popups are blocked then we will see javascript floating ads.

    So you bicker about some sites needing Javascript.. well install another browser to view those couple of sites you trust and use a Javascript disabled browser to do everything else. As long as people like you continue to enable javascript, web developers will continue to use javascript.

    JUST SAY NO TO JAVASCRIPT!
