since it can be patched it could also have been done right the first time had they only taken the time and effort to write it correctly to begin with
A security vulnerability in a software product is a bug. It is very difficult, some may say impossible, to write bug free software.
Maybe sometimes a little more attention to a particular issue could have prevented a vulnerability, but certainly not always. Bugs, including security vulnerabilities will always be present on software products, the only thing we can do is try to find them before they are exploited and release patches in a timely manner.
Yeah, I thought so too, until I was pointed to http://www.fuckedgoogle.com/.
I'm sure most of you have visited that page, could anyone tell me how is all the stuff exposed in it not being evil?

They think they so smarty they think their brain so big.
Yes, that is true. A more comparable open source product would be netBeans... and it takes up a LOT of RAM.
