Another Google Chrome Security Flaw Identified

Another Google Chrome Security Flaw Identified: "critical buffer-overflow"

For Pete's sake. We were talking about this just last weekend when the Bixby Creek gang got together at Donner Lake for the long weekend.

The question then was, "Why don't the software engineers at Microsoft check for buffer overflows when they're designing their software? Especially now when they should be overly aware that they have an ongoing problem?" Followed by, "Why don't the QA mavens at Microsoft check to make sure the software engineers have checked for buffer overflows?"

For. Pete's. Sake. People. Microsoft. Google. Anyone writing code.

This is a known issue with known solutions.

Sheesh.
