Hey, my company is looking for a windows sysadmin.

Only needs to have 3 fingers on one hand.

Just enough to hit the crtl-alt-delete keys about once an hour.

The rest of the time you can stare at the BSOD.

Later,

You know that problem would only affect about 100 users!!!!

When a vulnerability is found in Firefox, it's fixed within a couple
of days. Then your Firefox browser will find and install the upgrade
automatically. When an IE vulnerability is found, you might get a
patch the next "patch Tuesday". Or they might put it off for while...

If you would have bothered to read the article, you would have
discovered that it is a rendering issue, not a security issue.
"A bug in rendering "canvas" HTML elements worked its way into Firefox
2.0.0.10, the edition Mozilla released Monday to fix six other
vulnerabilities. Canvas elements, which were first used by Apple Inc. in
its Safari browser, let Web site designers dynamically render bitmap
images in HTML. Firefox, Safari and Opera support Canvas natively;
Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer does so with a plug-in.
All editions of Firefox 2.0.0.10 -- for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux --
break pages that include the Canvas element, and cripple at least two
Firefox extensions, FoxSaver and Fotofox."

Whereas MS simply ignores the problem for several months before they fix
anything.

Not to diss you or anything, but had you checked your own post, you'd
have seen than FireFox 2.0.0.10 was released
"_to_fix_six_other_vulnerabilities_". Not the Canvas issue.
Vulnerabilities.

And just to be certain, could you point me in the direction of a
website that uses this "dynamic rendering of bitmaps using HTML" so that
I can check if IE 7 requires a plugin or not. My work requires me to be
almost constantly on the web, and I've yet to encounter anything
remotely like that, and I go to literally 100's of sites every day...

Wish what? That MS would get their collective butts in gear and send out
some fixes in under six months? YES!
