    I reckon it means we should stop using the internet. Safest thing.

    I think I read on the Inquirer that Microsoft pointed at this flaw in Linux to show how bad it was with security (linux that is, and the Linux community fixed it straight away) ... thats when that security firm tested Microsoft products and found the same thing ... and it seems that Microsoft is using the same method (maybe same code) to fix the problem in its OS's ..... :rolleyes: what a bunch of tossers ... and the last word yesterday evening had a woman from microsoft trying to put a good spin on it and some security guy gave her a good going over (ahhh ...you gotta love sexual innuendo)
