* Remember, they are currently working on incrementing their version number as fast as they think they can get away with.

Really?

  • IE 6 was released on August 27, 2001
  • IE 7 was released on October 18, 2006
  • IE 8 was released on March 19, 2009

OTOH

  • Firefox 1 was released on November 9, 2004
  • Firefox 2 was released on October 24, 2006
  • Firefox 3 was released on June 17, 2008
  • Firefox 4 is dated for October - November 2010

From where I see it the release schedule of Firefox is incrementing the version number far more frequently. And besides, who cares? There's some amazing 0.99 version software and some amazing 10.5 version software. Don't hate on IE just for hating.

Comment SSH probes are nothing new (Score 2, Informative) 167

I get somewhere between twenty and thirty attempts per day agianst my SSH server alone. The server blocks the IP permanently after 3 bad attempts and they always try repeatedly until blocked. most of the attempts come from cable or dsl address spaces. I use gibberish for usernames and only allow certificate based authentication. They still keep trying however.
