What's "funny" about five minutes? The point of the competition is that you show up with your exploit, and run it. Five minutes is a pretty long time to do that in.
You've gotta be pretty naïve to believe that MegaUpload was a respectable site that was going to stay around for a long time and that you could trust with your files.
Look, you really want to run these things by the community before implementing them. Just quietly sneaking that in there does not inspire much confidence. Slashdot has a pretty strong tradition against that sort of thing, and if you're going to change things, really, explain it clearly first.

Well, that would explain why it took so long, if he had to type it out from memory.

What's not to like about that? It's the entire point of the contest!
The lack of evidence alone is proof of a conspiracy!
"Their needs" being "we need to run Flash or nobody will use our browser".
That just changed, though.

What's with that "only"?

Seriously, what the hell? What is that flag button?
Did Slashdot actually give up on its stance about censorship, and its moderation system?
This is the guy who also said that clang was built "entirely to undermine freedom".
Why does anybody listen to this nutter?
What exactly are you imagining a "warzone" is in this day and age?
Chromium does. Just use that.
Iron does not really protect you any better than plain Chromium. All it does is bring ad revenue to the pretty dishonest guy who makes it.
It is not a good option for anything. Just use Chromium if you don't trust Google.
That is basically not at all true. That's picking the highest you can possibly find for one, and the lowest for the other. It is entirely dishonest.
You still need to load the address of that singleton, which is still slightly slower than a zero check.
They aren't that much worse in efficiency (3% versus 8%).
What the hell are you talking about?
Requires extra memory reads that a NULL pointer terminator does not, so it is less efficient.
If you send someone a MediaFire link, they get an annoying landing page full of ads and popups to download the file from.
Maybe you don't see that if you paid for it. But your clients who didn't are sure getting blasted with the most annoying kinds of ads on the web.
Firefox is pretty much the least secure browser at this time.
That's... Not how MediaFire works, at all?
Why would you host them on a slow, remote, ad-filled site, rather than on your own network?
but it is frustrating to not know which ones might be following similar practices.
I think it's pretty easy to judge what kind of business they are just by looking at their ads.
In the case of MediaFire, blinking animgifs all over their pages, and full-screen YOU HAVE WON AN IPHONE 4 popups.
What would you even use it for internally?
I can't even begin to comprehend the kind of confusion that would cause you to ask this, were I to assume it was an honest question.
Why would you put work-related files on a hoster full of full-screen popups and blinking animgif ads?
That's gotta look pretty bad to your clients.
