Microsoft's Security Disclosures Come Under Fire

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the full-and-we-mean-full dept.

Old Banana writes "Is Microsoft silently fixing security vulnerabilities and deliberately obfuscating details about patches in its monthly security bulletins? Matthew Murphy, a security researcher who has worked closely with the MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) in the past, is accusing the software maker of 'misleading' customers by not clearly spelling out exactly what is being patched in the MS06-015 bulletin released on April 11."

    "Right nigger filth. Take that chicken out of your mouth and answer me this:

    Now, I know the white man's words are hard for your monkey mouths to pronounce, so just grunt "whud'da mellan" or something." - by ringbarer (545020) on Thursday April 13, @07:48PM (#15126174)

    Man, listen up please:

    I suppose that you can say what you want about black folks in this nation (U.S.A.) because you DO have the right to free speech...

    HOWEVER, they are not ALL bad (or, ALL good, just like other races).

    There does tend to be a propensity for crime amongst them, there's no doubt of that in their neighborhoods in cities (I live in one that has gone from primarily caucasian to negro in content/population in fact over a decade now & I do see that everyday in fact, there is much to be said about it and it does seem to ring true).

    Still, that is not something I understand WHY it happens fully...

    What does bother me is 2 things:

    1.) They often say we enslaved them (it's true, & shameful, but my family came "off the boat" in the 1950's to the states, so we had NOTHING to do with that), but often times from what I understand?

    When black tribes went to war, they often took prisoners from the losing tribe & sold them off to slavers...

    I.E. -> They sold their OWN into such a life...

    &

    2.) Also, the fact that if a white guy & a black guy go after a job, if the white guy scores higher on exams, but the organization/company in question lacks a quota of black dudes/people? The black guy gets the job... that is WRONG!

    Nothing's perfect, but those are my 2 bitches about it.

    BUT, back on track:

    NOW, I imagine, like anyone might, think that they say to themselves "Why work @ Burger King, making $100/week, when I can do XYZ (crime) and make $1,000/week"...

    (Most likely, this IS the case - taking the path of least resistance to make a living, most folks do of ANY race imo: Work "smarter", not harder in effect).

    BOTTOM-LINE THOUGH:

    Black folks in the U.S.A. @ least afaik & see, have had theirs fight for this nation in the armed forces & paid with their blood & lives!

    So they have the right to be here as much as anyone.

    So lay off the racial shit man!

    (Stating that crap just really makes you seem stupider than you say black folks are, which some of them are VERY intelligent & successful!)

    APK

    P.S.=> See, I've heard the same shit my entire life @ times (racial slurs etc./et all), because of the "Tribe" I am a descendant of, & @ times it bothers me!

    So I imagine it would be the same for any black people reading what you wrote... apk
