Oh, c'mon. Surely you can do better than that. Either the article is factually correct -- or it's not. Which is it -- and what's your evidence?

[Petronski]

Yawn.

[Bush2000]

You disappoint me, Petronski. Usually, you're good for a reasonable argument. But since you can't defend your argument, why bother.

[Petronski]

I offer you no argument. I dismiss your troll-bait. This one is beneath you (even you).

Twelve dead links. Impressive. Is that code from FrontPage?

[Bush2000]

Even if I were to accept your basic premise, the logical conclusion is that it isn't worthwhile to switch to Firefox.

[Pro-Bush]

You work for Microsoft?

That would be my opinion also.

Proponents of open-source programming argue altruistic pursuit of perfection by legions of anonymous programmers is bound to produce better code than a proprietary engine such as Microsoft's.

While reading this, it occurred to me that this is a good analogy for Free Republic vs. Old Media.

Proponents of open-source programming accurate news argue altruistic pursuit of perfection by legions of anonymous programmers FReepers is bound to produce better code more accurate news than a proprietary engine lying sack of dung such as Microsoft's Dan RAthER.

:-D

It's late, sorry bout that. Let's try this, it's a list of the exploits... A list of bugs

The ones I tried to post were the newer ones. The 55 is cumulative, I have patches for I think 18 of the old exploits.

[JerseyHighlander]

And here's the breakdown of the advisories, specific for Firefox, (as in not Mozilla).
