Reply to Mozilla Warns of Firefox Security Holes in Internet WinCustomize Forums

To quote another section of the full article.. The Mozilla Foundation has fixed hundreds if not thousands of security vulnerabilities over the last few years without notifying the world and without providing security patches, instead they have simply just told their users to upgrade," he says. "We have to remember that all software has security vulnerabilities, the only difference is in how we anticipate them and inform the world about their e

No, you need a separate monitor for each system. All that is shared is the Keyboard and Mouse. It isn't a KVM, it is a KM. I have my laptop sitting beside my PC though and I controll it with my PC keyboard and mouse. When I'm not using it away from my desk.

Ya know, I like firefox and all but I still prefer IE. As it has gained in popularity, it HAS become more of a target and the vulnerabilities are showing. But then again, I quote from another thread... That's one of those excuses that gets repeated so often people begin uncritically swallowing it till it becomes "common knowledge

Mozilla Warns of Firefox Security Holes in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Several security vulnerabilities in Firefox and the Mozilla Suite of Internet software put users of the open-source products at risk of hacker attacks, the Mozilla Foundation is warning. The organization released Firefox 1.0.1, which fixes 17 security flaws in the popular Web browser. The most serious flaws could allow an attacker to gain full control over a victim's PC, the Mozilla Foundation says in a statement. Firefox 1.0 was released in November a

Mike C, Here's how it works, as simply as I can put it. You have a PC, with one (or 2 or more) monitors physicaly connected to it, along with a keyboard and mouse. Lets call this your primary PC. You have (with standard multiplicity) another PC AND Monitor, AND Keyboard and Mouse sitting right beside your other one. They are two separate entities that are on the same network. Lets say (for simplicity sake) that you have WinXP on your primary sy

Reply to The concept of ratings in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Brad, What about a comprimise... Show the ratings, without the names. That could only help police the issue better as the admins cannot spot all occurences. Example: Skiname Rating 1: 2 Rating 2: 3 Rating 3: 1 Total Ratings: 3 Now, I realize this does not take into account the different weighting factors involved but it would help the user gain a better understandi

Reply to The concept of ratings in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Question: How does one rate something as a 3/10 on a 5 star scale? Do admins have the ability to rate on the 1/10 scale then? 3 stars = 6 on the 1/10 scale, yet NT said that it had a 3 on the 1/10 scale.

Reply to The concept of ratings in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I saw that an admin had given your N8T skin a very low rating a couple days ago. It was way out of line with the other ratings it had received, so I deleted that one. Next I looked at Batman. It was indeed approved with a 3, but not by the same admin. (rating of 3/10, not 3 stars) So... we h

I understand the frequency of threads like this, and I didn't mean to poke a stick in the hornets nest again either. Perhaps the frequency indicates that people are a tad disturbed by the system and it deserves to be thought out again by the powers that be. I see quite a few skins with great comments and low ratings. That indicates a problem. period. On the other side of the coin, the admins to a

Boss.. I used Boxxi's skin just as an example as it is extremely uncommon to see on one of his works. You left comments and rated according to your comments. That is a valid proceedure IMHO. What I can't stand are the anonymous 1's and 2's that do it just to be mean and try to glorify their own works, or just because they don't like your name, your screenshot, or you in general. I think the anonymity involved is very very counter productive in this env

Serious Ratings Abuse Still Happening in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I can't help but notice that as of late, there has been some serious rating slamming happening particularly in the Windowblinds section. There have been some fine themes that are getting hammered with 1 and 2 stars and some mediocre themes getting 3 and 4. When Boxxi puts out a new one like Gold Carbon and its getting rated at 2 stars, I think that is proof enough. It seems we have hashed and rehashed this issue, yet nothing ever gets done
