fell asleep? nice attention span there Jason.......


personally i read the article, and felt that a lot of things in there insulted my intelligence and i am not sure what kind of computer knowledge the person who wrote this article has...

This article makes me want to write a nasty response lol


Primo Example of this writer's lack of knowledge.....

"Hmmmm, wait a minute. I went to www.getfirefox.com, not mirror.sg.depaul.edu. I don't have any idea where that place is, and it sure makes me nervous. IE has informed me that "If you do not trust the source, do not run or save this software."

Not only does this software come from a completely random university server, but I have no way of checking if it is the authentic Firefox install or some maliciously altered copy. (I sure hope those 10 million people who have downloaded Firefox so far haven't all download backdoors into their system...). Since "You should only run software from publishers you trust" and since the publisher cannot be verified, I should click Don't Run (which is, thankfully, the default)."



Does anyone here honestly think that Microsoft would want to be able to verify the publisher of the firefox browser since firefox will more often than not be replacing microsoft's browser?
