Errors will be made. Coders are human too. The point is, this one was discovered, made public, and fixed quickly and for free. Closed-source denies the problem exists until there is so much bad publicity that they lose 10% in stock prices, then they release a service pack for 80 bucks that fixes one problem and causes 20 more.

No shit america is fucked up. i'll be the first one to admit that. all i meant by my statement, was the shitload of censorship related internet stories lately. Lighten up.
and compared to what is available now in pc's and the headway linux is making, how does it stack up? come on, do we really need another proprietary system?
THIS IS NOT FLAIMBAIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION. I'm curious, aside from not being wintel and therefore spiffy, what's the big deal bitch? what is or ever was so great about amiga anyway. THIS IS NOT FLAIMBAIT. THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION.
open source is no more stable than closed by default. the oposite is probably true, how easy is it going to be to find a backdoor with the source code right in front of you?
Naturally, I mean, 2000 is so much more stable, secure, and plays quake3 bett... i mean, nevermind. Come on, lets all act suprised but then follow through with billy-boys plans.
i love you sparticus! i was just about to bitch to the geeks that run this joint. i don't care if you are male, female, cat, or republican... you now have a sex slave for life, whoever you are. come on. moderate me down. i didn't talk about linux, and here - d00dZ, 1 R 31337, there's another moderation reason right there. oh and i almost forgot, i'm on windows 2000 right now!

Its Perl, not Pearl. And I do agree with you, I'm just one of the few perfectionists left in this country.
