Being on SlashDot sucks!

They reference a news article that drew an invalid conclusion from our report. And because everybody hates Symantec (perhaps for good reason), they're accepting it as evidence of Symantec's malice, but we didn't even say that!

Is Slashdot _always_ this bad? :-o

[Ergot]

LOL I saw that last night, but wasn't sure if it was part of your whole group thingy.

[trust]

Correct them?

I posted a couple replies, but there are too many posts and nobody really listens.

The numbers are all pulled from a public source (SecurityFocus/Bugtraq, which are owned by Symantec). So no, there's no conspiracy. But I'll continue to wear my tinfoil hat.

HAHAHAHA!

Well, most of the replies were serious, but that was a reply to a "Funny" post so I had to stick with funny.

Unfortunately, I very much doubt they'd care.

But one of them got +1 informative! I'm changing the world!

The problem is, I've found that if you don't reply in the first 20 - 30 minutes, you don't get noticed. I don't read Slashdot frequently enough, so most of my comments are unnoticed.

[Chavo]

Yea, I've stopped reading slashdot on a regular basis because of the constant claims of the thread posters getting it wrong.

I generally filter out everything that isn't moderated "funny" -- that's all I generally care about.

If that article is true, however, I still find it pathetic that it would take a full team of OS developers 13 days to fix and patch a high-priority vulnerability when they're getting paid only God knows how big a fortune to do it.

[iago]

The numbers are accurate -- you can find them here.

Only the 5: funny and 4: funny ones.. the rest suck. :\
