It's funny to see them implode and spew all that misguided hatred, and realise that they all probably lead, well.... not the most exciting lives. Schadenfreude and pity, as good a recipe for a smug feeling of superiority as anything. And I like feeling smug. It's nice :D BTW, my favorite quote: "And speaking only for myself, I believe Microsoft to be one of the few organizations in the world, along with Wal-Mart and the Bush Administration, to actually be doing more damage to international culture than Wikipedia." Al-Qeada, anyone? No? So you're saying that Microsoft and Wikipedia is the reason I can't listen to my iPod on an airplane. Damn you, Steve Ballmer, damn you all to hell! --Oskar PS. It really is quite funny, I'm serious about that (or am I?)

We currently have about 80 external links to exe files (although I've scanned all of them with clamav and they all pass, if someone can suggest other free tools which can run on *nix.. that would be useful) Even if you ignore all the other formats which can act as attack vectors on typical windows boxes. So, just because they are crazy doesn't mean there isn't a point....

The external links are a good point, but they say our images are infected with viruses and trojans. I don't think that's possible as any program altered to have an image extension would be rejecte by the upload page, right? Mgm
