Remember, always follow the money trail and you will find the truth.
the basic engine is old, depending on how far back you want to go, but the firefox effort is relatively new.
You able to comprehend that the engine and the application are two related by ultimately different things?
Not when one of you are claiming it's mature and another saying, hey it's a young product. Make up your minds.
Explain to me the correlation. Are you saying those mozilla shirts and the logo GE posts are put out by anti-mozilla people? Or are you trying to say supporters of GW put out that hitler picture?
Just trying to follow the logic, which I don't see yet.
I'm sure you enjoyed posting that, but the RNC isn't printing T's with that ridiculous picture on them, like Mozilla has done with their commie logo. Time for you to deal with it.
Obviously there is no logic with that fruitcake. He was actually taking your side in the argument about Firefox being a new browser and didn't even realize it, LOL.
This thread reminds me of the Oracle "Unbreakable" ads.
Is there some kind of idiot award for posts going on on Free Republic that I am unaware of?
Having immediate access to source does make hacking easier. Or if you're claiming it doesn't, we can certainly get you one of the idiot awards.
Which also explains why it's such a buggy product. Communism hasn't worked yet.
Question for all Mozilla/Firefox fans: How does this propaganda make you feel? I bet you can talk to Jane Fonda and she can give you some wisdom on the subject.
I just can't believe it. I thought it was a gag, but it's a real logo the mozilla fans use. It's not something the anti-mozilla crowd uses to defame them.
It's just so amazing that so many conservatives (or so-called conservatives) can subscribe to this tripe.
Did you see this from today?
http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;579036411;fp;2;fpid;1
"A serious security flaw surfaced on Tuesday that turns conventional security assumptions on their head -- affecting Firefox and Linux, but leaving Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Windows unscathed."
Wonder if Symantec somehow knew in advance.
They should print them off and carry them in their wallet for ID.
And you just won the blue-ribbon idiot award.
I see you're living up to your screen name. Of course having source code makes it easier to crack, no intelligent person would ever say otherwise. What the OSS fans say is it also makes it easier for the white-hats to patch the holes before the black-hats get to them because they have more eyes on the code than a closed source vendor would typically have (assuming the OSS code is popular enough).
So what we have here is a popular OSS product that is bug-ridden. Good thing it doesn't have a very large install base or the black hats would be exploiting it like worse than Win9x.
But even more amazing LinuxWorld actually backs up my point that Linux, Mac, Firefox, etc... aren't attacked as much simply because they don't have as large of an install base. I need to bookmark this, for the next time the OSS crowd says otherwise, or that one guy says there was a hack on a cell phone with only 3 users, so the hackers will exploit everything at the same rate.
Linux is also generally seen as a lower-risk platform than Windows, partly because it is less widely used on the desktop and therefore isn't targeted as often.
Yeah, did you also notice that newbie and shadow are simultaneously hiding under their crib since all this came out?
Well if you don't believe me that Windows and IE are attacked more because of the large install base, maybe you'll believe a source like LinuxWorld.
Linux is also generally seen as a lower-risk platform than Windows, partly because it is less widely used on the desktop and therefore isn't targeted as often. The security picture is changing, though, according to the Symantec report, with platforms like Linux and Mac OS X coming under increasing scrutiny by potential attackers.
Now should I go back to all those threads where you were claiming otherwise and I was disagreeing (trying to use logic) and bump those with this post? Or will you go back and review your comments and realize how wrong and misguided you were in your naive thinking?
This thread has to be hurting :-)
However, since it's N3WBI3, I'll go ahead and say he's hiding (after all he accused others of doing the same thing).
Because you're a logical, reasonable person. But how often have we had it that NEITHER of them was here for an entire day pushing their BS on us? Other than possibly weekends, I can't think of anytime recent.
