You're absolutely right. Since the first time I used Firefox I got hooked with many of it's features, be the integrated pop-up blocker, the tabs, and, specially, the themes and extensions, which gave to it an incredibly amount of power and flexibility combined together.
I never used FF because I thought it was more safe than IE, or it had less exploits or it was more stable (well specially not for that, since it wasn't!).
I just thought that Firefox made what it had to do better than IE, and allowed me to navigate the web faster. It just felt more confortable to use, and also it had some extensions that saved me plenty of time, so that was the big deal.
Now, I'm not saying that I didn't value security, but I knew you could set up IE to avoid most security problems, and also that some security related bugs would appear in FF, as they are in every program out there. Now, even if FF seems to be as safe as IE, or even a bit less, it is still equally useful for me, so I will continue using it. But obviously, if it becomes an easy target for exploits or if IE or another browser becomes better for this task, I will have no problem in switching to it.
Ok, but if you found an exploit in Apache you would publish it in the bugtrack for... what? just a bit of fame (which you would get in this case anyway).
I can understand that if you were a script kiddie, but for all "white hat" hackers out there, who would give the information away anyway, this Xbox would be an interesting plus.
I you're going to post a article for publication, you should really run a spellcheck on it. Mischievous, not mischevious. Comes from the word mischief.
If you're going to post a message in slashdot complaining against an incorrect spelling, you should really run a spellcheck on it.
I wouldn't believe a program like this not being spyware as long as it's code is closed and it can do anything, and send any info that it's creators desire.
I think that this is the perfect case of a kind of programs that must be open source. Surely the code of a program that just collects information can't be of an incredibly complexity, so there's no reason for hiding it's code (other than doing a different thing than what it claims).
If they claim that their program doesn't send any sensitive information, let us check it by ourselves, otherwise I won't believe it.
Eerrr, I'm in a group that organizes LARPs, and in fact some of our events take place in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade (World of Darkness, from White Wolf).
Obviously, if that's a pain or is a wonderful experience, is just an opinion, but what I can assure you is that we aren't just a handful of morose Goth types, althought yes, we pretend to be some sort of vampires and interpret the relationships between them, just like about any other form of roleplaying (or at least I believe that's the essence of RP, more than just rolling dices and going up levels).
I think LARP is an interesting form of roleplaying when well done, and many RPers could like it if they knew it.
Actually it looks too complex from the screenshot.
That's a screenshot?? And I was thinking that my 8 year cousin could make a cleaner drawing than that..

Trying to follow any of your malformed links is!!!
call me when they make a laptop whith this specs..
Maybe so, but sex using a preservative was indeed "invented" for recreational use, as it has few other uses.
I find your lack of faith disturbing...

And complete it with:
- Windows running PearPC running OSX
That would be the cherry on top of the cake.. oh wait..
