HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Still hoping that your DoS attack against a media player is anything other than the rantings of a deranged zealot? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I wasn't going to bring up your humiliation again but you seem anxious to share it with the world.

A little background: zkiwi feels that this is going to be used by bad guys all over the world to launch a massive DoS campaign against WMP users everywhere. Yes, can you imaging the horror when you open an ASX file and it crashes WMP. Nothing else happens and that is the only ASX file that crashes WMP. No code executes, no files get deleted, no adware gets installed, no computer gets pwned, but zkiwi feels that this is a real exploit! Not a potential exploit, but an honest to goodness DoS attack against WMP!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Let me explain something for those like you who are a little slow on the uptake (not your fault, you were probably born that way). A DoS exploit against a web server is serious. A DoS exploit against a mail server is serious. A bug that crashes a personal computer media player isn't a DoS exploit and it isn't serious. If someone had found a way of exploiting that crash to run code on your computer, that would have been serious which is what was meant by potentially exploitable. No one, other than you, was stupid enough to think that crashing WMP is a DoS exploit.

Luckily for everyone, MS patched it before it could be exploited. Funny how when it is OSX or Linux, that seems to be the only thing that counts. Had this been something that crashed Amarok without causing any damage to the underlying OS, it would have been more than just one person laughing at anyone who called it a DoS exploit! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh noes, Amarok just crashed!!! Whatever will I do?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
