Mozilla & Gecko clones Smile, we've been on candid camera, and we've been caught with our pants down, standing on our heads, with umbrellas between our teeth. "I have not succeeded in making this code do anything more than cause a crash and eat up system resources, and I certainly haven't used it to take over anyone else's computer and execute arbitrary code. I do not have 30 undisclosed Firefox vulnerabilities, nor did I ever make this claim. I have no undisclosed Firefox vulnerabilities. The person who was speaking with me made this claim, and I honestly have no idea if he has them or not." Of course it did not take long for black helicopters to arrive. Microsoft has computers, so do the hackers: a link! MS is behind it all!

I am not surprised. If one knows the way Mozilla rate security issues and knows just a bit about computers could see there was very little, if anything.

Now, in the next few minutes the anti-FLOSS gang will start the Damage Control-dance. Or completely ignore this submission.

You need to chill with the "anti-FLOSS gang" crap. It's pointless and annoying.

You need to chill with the "always defend Microsoft" crap. It's pointless, annoying and just plain misguided.

The fact is that the anti-FLOSS gang exists and is very active. Therefore it is not pointless. Annoying that I mention it? Perhaps, but the truth tends to be annoying.
