You have to look at the big picture. We (as a country) spend more tax money dealing with MS blunders than we do on the software itself. And guess who MS's largest customer is? You guessed it, the government! - Brian

This isn't really a security issue, but has anyone else noticed that when dl'ing from fileplanet, FireFox drops the first two letters of the filenames? I've had to do so several times in the last few weeks and it does it every time.

I only occasionally use FireFox and almost never use FilePlanet, so it's not really a big issue.. but amusing?

never use fileplanet so couldn't say - report it as a bug and I'm sure it'll get fixed - unless, of course, fileplanet is checking for a certain browser at some point and their coding is screwed up

Microsoft should certainly take an example from the Mozilla Team's promptness when it comes to security patches. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
