marty writes "Februrary is not a good month for Mozilla developers. Infoworld reports about the efforts of Polish researcher Michael Zalewski, who apparently kept finding new vulnerabilities in the popular browser on a daily basis through the month, first postponing the 2.0.0.2 update, and then finding a remotely exploitable flaw in it immediately after its release."

    It seams that there are zillion of developers trying to add their exploits. Another proof that this open/free concept doesn't work. It would have been much better to have twenty different genuine browsers for $10 (closed) each then this one bloated open source behemoth.

    You'd just ask your equally sad brother, who, whilst as geeky and as socially inept as you, at least has a brain for this stuff.
