I wonder if it will take them 5 years just like the c:\con\con bug.

I would just like to help you out WinXP user by telling you how secure winXP is... you only have all of your netbios ports open

As far as I'm concerned XPee loser must be the encarnation of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. And I thought that only the book was scary      

Hey psycho, I noticed that your topic goes under the title: "In the name of balance". How ironic indeed, since you seem to lack balance a lot

Well he probably posts "balance" articles to prove that he is not mentally blinded by Microsoft and has integrity. IMO it's a damn good idea, but I'd recommend fixing that link.
