  1. Re:I weep for Mozilla... on Netscape Nondisclosing Mozilla Security Bugs? · · Score: 1

    Linux isn't targetted to the average person, but any particular version of Netscape is. With this, comes a larger percentage of people willing to screw other people over, and a larger percentage of people who have no clue what to do about it.

    Linux has the bonus of being a much smaller community and can be controlled by the people more. However, 'open sourcing' exploitable bugs and how to exploit them in a project such as THIS one, can only mean problems for Average Joe User- and a fielday for Average Joe HaXoR d00d.

    Wow... a first post that's more than 3 words. Bravo!

    Anyway, yeah, Matrix kicked ass. I only have the VHS personally, but it's definately on the 'list' of stuff when I get a DVD player, along with Princess Mononoke and other Anime..

    This is why it's good not to be an AC when you post important stuff. You get an extra 'safetey point' so it goes down to 0 instead of -1

  18. The semi-definitive post about Monty Python on MI5 Laptop Stolen -- Along With Top-Secret Data · · Score: 1

    Monty Python is a comedy troupe which was behind classics such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They also had a late sixties-early seveties tv show called Monty Python's Flying Circus. They are outragously funny but in an absurd way. There are transcripts of all the flying circus skits, and some of the movies at Stone Dead Productions They also have a lot of great information and facts about Monty Python. Monty Python is not to be confused with The Full Monty which is an entirely different thing aside from the fact they're both English and both have "Monty" in the title.
