    by rhalbheer}
    I was recently caught in a tricky problem: The clock of one of my host servers ran out of sync.. – significantly. The core problem was that my Mediacenter (which is domain integrated) started to record about 6-8 minutes too late but this is not the reason...

    I only believe the statistics I forged myself So, once more, there is a debate on which browser is the most secure, who fixed which vulnerabilities how fast. The Secunia Report 2008 was just published and it seems that this injects once more the fire...
