Comment Dvorak's complaints have nothing to do with the OS (Score 1) 770

Dvorak's article is completely useless. He's concerned with the fact that MS doesn't coddle the media like they once did and that their marketing material is overly pro-corporate (imagine that!) and lacking in punctuation--there was nothing in the article about the OS. I'm not sure how this guy manages to stay employed other than the fact that he's entertaining in his complete lack of relevance. Also, the cheap vodka/martini/two-olives analogy made no sense...it did make me want a martini though.

XSS Vulnerabilities Reviewed and Re-Classified 142

An anonymous reader writes "Security Analysts at NeoSmart Technologies have revisited the now-famous XSS-type security vulnerabilities and attempted to re-classify their status as a security vulnerability. The argument is that XSS vulnerabilities are not a mark of bad or insecure code but rather a nasty but unavoidable risk that's a part of JavaScript - and that even then, XSS 'vulnerable' sites are no less dangerous or vulnerable at heart." Are they unavoidable, or just a symptom of lazy coding, or both?
