	The link is below, but specifically these paragraphs are the donkey's ass. - url below which states - Now a security hole has been found in a plugin that Microsoft have been silently installing into Firefox. Along with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have been silently installing a Windows Presentation Foundation Plugin that allows the embedding of XAML applications (an XML-based UI technology) in web pages, called XBAP (XAML Web App). The exploit is drive-by, meaning that the victim only needs to be lured onto a web-page for the attack to be effective. The only safe thing to do until a patch is issued, is to open Firefox’s AddOn Manager and disable the WPF plugin. Microsoft were caught earlier this year silently installing a “.NET Framework Assistant” plugin into Firefox, which could not initially be uninstalled. After some pressure from the press, Microsoft relented and provided an update to enable the uninstall button. That update then broke a number of other Firefox extensions. The only thing that surprises me more, is that I’m not surprised that Microsoft could be this incompetent when it comes to the safety of all users of the web using Windows, regardless if they’re using IE or not. ********** http://www.osnews.com/story/22358/Silent_Install_Firefox_Plugin_Backfires_on_Microsoft Don't know what's the worst part, but gotta love this: "Microsoft were caught earlier this year silently installing a “.NET Framework Assistant” plugin into Firefox, which could not initially be uninstalled." -- "which could not initially be uninstalled." -- MAN I hate them!!! So we've got Java script, Flash, animated JPEGSs, 20 more video/audio standards and micro-nuts keep pushing their (I'm sure) putrid .NET garbagiola. WHEEEEEEE! And we DON'T need 1024 bit GPUs and 8+ core CPUs with 32 Meg L1 caches????

	Here's where it's at, a comment to the previously listed article at OSNews. http://www.osnews.com/comments/22358 - which states - RE[2]: Opt-in by moondevil on Sat 17th Oct 2009 09:31 UTC in reply to "RE: Opt-in" This exactly one reason why regardless of your OS, you might be easily owned. Sure it is harder to get Virus and other type of malaware deployed in MacOS X, Linux and other systems. But if your browser gets owned, you might just say goodbye to your data. Remeber the browser has full rights to access all files with your user rights. Just because you stay away of Windows, don't think that you are safe. ********** I've known forever, that systems are at risk because the software writers ALLOW for it. All computer databases on the internet _could_ be safe, but they aren't _designed_ that way (HW).... But even design is unnecessary, if the SW _does not allow_ for it to happen, that is, a breach.

	TRULY horrendous, and frightening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swFlU-FKg30 So, what COULDN'T an Amiga 2000 _unaccelerated_ do that w386 _did_? (That video was probably done with the help of an Amiga!!!!) A trip to hell??? (Level 7 of the nine planes of hell? ;-) ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GWQgb015Lc

Notice that you hold your tongue on the basis of others' commentaries. Not biased by any chance are you? Also, nah, I'll save it for later. Enjoying win-dross and .net, are/do you?

You have no clue. Hint: depending on how one calculates the processing width of a GPU varies from 16 to 128bit. With some hard squinting one could call them 50k+ bits wide. > > Please go create a blog somewhere and stop polluting this place. > > Me?

Everyone is biased in some way. > > Also, nah, I'll save it for later. > > Enjoying win-dross and .net, are/do you? > Yeah, Windows (XP and 7), MSDOS, Linux, OS X and other systems. And unlike some other people I can use them without problems.
