So, what are you saying? -----Original Message----- From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Code execution vulnerability found in Firefox 3.0
Again, this can be said about anything. Most of the time I would presume, bugs are found by "1 person in the entire world". They are not necessarily special, they are just that 1 person who found the bug "first". Lots of people working on a project has its benefits, but as some point too many can introduce bugs via the overall complexity of managing such a project. Look at Vista. Nothing is perfect, mistakes get made and missed by others, then they are corrected. This will not change for anyone. -- Mike Gill > -----Original Message----- > From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 12:09 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Code execution vulnerability found in Firefox 3.0 > > I'm implying that somehow only 1 person in the entire world who works > with > the code found this vuln.
