rdmreader writes “RDM has a point by point disassembly of the protection vulnerability story phenomenon. We regularly see these, comparing various vulnerability lists for different operating systems. ZDNet’s George Ou, for example, condemns Linux and Mac OS X by tallying up reported flaws and comparing them against Microsoft’s. What he doesn’t note is that his source, Secunia, only lists what vendors and
