I've been in computer security since 1989 and computers in general since 1982.
I currently work for one of the largest backbone providers in the world as a security professional, monitoring for intrusions.
As such, I can state as a fact that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Whatever. Keep calling me troll, keep making claims. I personally dont care. I personally have ran into a plethora of problems with this "stable" browser called firefox, from its cookie management to freezing upon certain web elements, ones that have never caused me problems before.
And you seem to be forgetting that I have never defended IE other than to take on the issue you raised in a argument back towards me on security and the availability of a program. Anecdotal evidence and other opinions cannot stray from fact.
Oh and BTW if the US Govt doesnt recommend IE, then why is it supplied on all Army computers? Seems to me if it is such a threat they wouldn't even allow its distribution to such places as my s-3 and s-1 shops.
BTW since we are going on history here, when I was 12 I was kicked out of school because I hacked into the schools computer and changed my grades and about 12 others and was banned from the usage of computers until I was 18, I know longer peruse down the darker side other than to read whats up at various hacker places to read about whats new and vurnerable.
