Yahoo To Offer Bug Bounty Rewards Up To $15,000

aesoteric writes "Yahoo is set to launch its first formal bug bounty system after Swiss pen testers complained about the $12.50 vouchers offered for locating XSS vulnerabilities. The web giant also said the voucher rewards were informal and actually funded out of the pockets of the company's own IT security staff."

    Is "nigger" really such a terrible horrible bad word? The people who mod it down and write posts that sound upset, how many of them are genuinely angry and really offended? And how many of them are just responding to a taboo the way they were taught to respond to it And don't genuinely think its such a big deal for any good reason? I'm talking about the word on its own. Actually treating black people bad for no reason except they're black really is horrible. I'm not talking about that.

    I'm talking about the n-word and the way everybody tiptoes around it. News anchors say "n word" instead of nigger on TV even tho the FCC doesn't forbid it. Same reason why trolls like me wanna post it. But truely i just don't get it. Did you ever think that if everybody learned to laugh at our differences maybe they'd stop fighting about them? Ok I am of Korean ancestry. I'm a chink. I'm a slant. I'm a ching-chang-chong. Maybe I eat dogs! See none of that bothers me. If it was said to me with real hatred then the real hatred would bother me not the words.

    So what is the fascination with the NIGGER word?

    Jokes on you. The media is a pack of deceptive liars. The "n word" is nice.
