You are mincing words, trying to evade the truth, as if there is some great difference between deliberately introducing a vulnerability that invades allows invasion of privacy and writing code that does it directly. Your central point that open source is always secure is completely wrong and you can't admit that.
But what you say does fit with the style here: evade and always end with "move on". When there is no reasonable defense, just muddy the waters and say "move on". I now regret having wasted time here over these past few days. It's obvious that the intent here is merely to say empty words and try to ride out the storm. Time to get back to convincing others, one a at a time, that Mozilla is steeped in politically correct bigotry and has no intention of changing. FF is the new IE. I'll point everyone to this thread as an example of never-ending dissembling, which goes a long way to destroying any sense of trust. Have fun at Mozilla's "we love love love gays gays gays" festival. (The hand of censorship will probably come down here soon anyway.) 13.04.2014, 19:18, "Rubén Martín" <[email protected]>: > El 13/04/14 14:01, Big Fred escribió: > >> It was just demonstrated a few short days ago that the open source OpenSLL >> had an included vulnerability (Heartbleed) that made a huge number of >> websites hackable, including the ability to decrypt all SSL traffic by >> making the server's private key accessible to hackers.
