Is it me, or does it seem like there are a lot of WoW forum posters that have found their way to this site?

Moonlight, aka Silverlight for Linux.

Now what was I saying about how they needed to do that? :D

not just the wow forum, the things you see over there and "spreading" is an accurate depiction of internet in general nowadays

Warning - For the time being, DO NOT INSTALL SILVERLIGHT! There are some fantastically huge security complications you open yourself up to by doing so.

My 2 cents: Suvega, building a website which requires the installation of any uncommon software component, insecure silverlight or not, isn't a good idea.

I was not able to find a single reported vulnerability in Silverlight. I searched Securityfocus.com and Secunia. As far as I can tell there isn't one known vulnerability in it. Where did you get your information from?

It was a chain letter...but it's ok, because if you forward it to 10 other people, Bill Gates will pay you $10k!!! :P

concerns with silverlight aside, if you are looking to make a patronizing reference to the ease of finding something via google, may i suggest this handy site? it's proving applicable to all sorts of inane discussions for me.

http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=...+vulnerability

though i'd also suggest that you actually succeed as said search attempt first, else you end up looking the fool.

and as another slightly less tangential aside, i used to drink the microsoft haterade myself until i got into game dev, and now i want to kiss them in the manner preferred by the french. coding for sony hardware makes my brain bleed, while MS actually tries to HELP developers create software for their machines. what a crazy fucking notion.

but like the nice lady said, its a big ass company. plenty to love and hate in there for all of us, i'm sure.
