It always amuses me when people see M$ patching a bunch of vulns, and then make a comment like 'But Umbuntu (sic) is much worserer! It patched ( m$_vulns + 10 ) this month!'... or vice versa.

With Linux distos, you can pretty much count on the count being pretty much accurate, due to the defacto auditing that occurs as a function of the open source methodology.

In comparison, M$'s counts are basically meaningless, unless you are one of those gullible fanbois who believe M$ would never lie. Ever.

It's all about disclosure. Disclosure in open source is real, disclosure by the likes of M$ and Apple is pretty much based on what makes them look the best in the marketplace.
 

That kind of PVP is all and good, but for those of us in Oz and other far flung reaches, with normal ping times of 250-300 ms, we just can't compete with the LPBs in the US. So PVP, even if I liked it, would be a total waste of time. As for the game in general, the noob area was fantastic. Exquisite graphics, interesting quests with voice acted interactions, mature content. All this fell apart once you left the noob area. And the notorious 10k ping problem. It became totally unplayable. I left. Did they ever get that 10k ping issue fixed?

The things that spoil MMOs for me are mostly related to obnoxious player behaviour - 1) Griefing 2) Camping 3) Exploit abuse 4) Spamming and giving quest solutions on public chat channels.
