Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 30th Nov 2005 01:05 UTC, submitted by jayson.knight

Sun Microsystems has fixed five security bugs in Java that expose computers running Windows, Linux and Solaris to hacker attack. In the meantime Apple also released a Mac OS X security update for apache_mod_ssl, CoreFoundation, CoreTypes, curl, iodbcadmin, OpenSSL, Safari, sudo, syslog. Elsewhere, computer code posted can crash vulnerable Windows machines by exploiting a "critical" Windows flaw disclosed and patched by Microsoft in October.

You speak of flamebait with a name like that? Seriously dude, not to be insulting or anything, but that does generate a definite air of hypocrisy.

In other words, you freely admit that you're a troll. Do you realize how immature this is? Do you realize that it makes impossible to take you seriously?

Why not contribute to the debate in a constructive, rather than constantly seek confrontation?
