Can anyone tell me whether Ian Goldberg and David Wagner got their $25,000
from Netscape for finding the HUGE security flaws in Netscape's existing
product line??
I can't remember whether they got anything or not ...
(Sorry, but I've been away from the list. One of those, "fate of the
Free World hangs in the balance" thingies ... ;-)
Have Netscape and AT&T shown some holiday goodwill, or are they still
engaged in their felonious freeloading foolishness?
