riddle me this?
When is the last time, if ever, that you've heard...

"There was a remote weakness found in *insert your favorite Linux app here*, that allows "hackers" to run the system as root, and blah blah blah". Oh what's that? Oh... NEVER?!? Oh, that's right.

Have there been weaknesses discovered in apps that run on Linux? Sure!! Have those weaknesses been exploited to let the hacker run as root? The answer is NO!! (unless the person setting up the OS/App is retarded). Linux, by design is far more secure. Micorsoft Windows, by design, will NEVER be secure. That's why "I" bash MS. I'm just sick of hearing the song and dance that spews from their mouths like raw sewage about trustworthy computing this, and we need to educate our users that. Yes, they do need to educate their users, but how about making a good quality OS first? Frankly, that will never happen though, cause MS doesn't have the talent. Oh well, I guess all you MS guys will just have to keep on complaining about end users while I sit here smiling and secure.
