Stop Whining! 2004-02-14
TJ (1 replies)

I'm always amazed by the typical responses to these technology issues (whining). No one seems to understand, if humans make it, humans can break it. It will always be a cat and mouse game. Do some research and you'll find ALL other operating systems and/or software has vulnerabilities. It stands to reason that the most used software will receive more reported vulnerabilities and patches. Patching and updating software will ALWAYS be the norm. Technology is a tool that can be used for good AND evil.
