slidersv writes "Not 24 hours after the release of IE7, Secunia reports Internet Explorer Arbitrary Content Disclosure Vulnerability. So much for the "you wanted it easier and more secure" slogan found on Microsoft's IE Website."

    I agree completely. Heaven knows there weren't any fanboys on Slashdot before Firefox.

    Ah, those were the days... rational discourse, on topic discussions, no spelling errors...Why, I remember one time, I said that I thought that Gentoo could be a little easier to install, and nobody modded me down. Dammit, I promised myself I wasn't going to cry!
