re: The "only has security via obscurity" thing debunked once again Friday, January 21, 2011 at 8:06 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sekirt (297 messages posted) Gewg - Happy New Year.  They still don't lock these threads?

I've pulled out of all computer forums and giving my mind a well deserved rest.  Just going to let the world pass me by and let them duke it out.  If Linux wins, so be it. sekirt Written in response to: The "only has security via obscurity" thing debunked once again (gewg_: Friday, January 21, 2011 at 3:58 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
