Open Source Open to Hacks
    Critics love to slap Microsoft around for its security problems. And by admitting 
  its faults each and every Patch Tuesday, Redmond gives these nitpickers plenty 
  of ammo. The open source world tends to keep its flaws more on the down-low 
  -- not exactly hidden, but not exactly disclosed with fanfare, either.
That's why it may be a surprise to some that open source apps have more holes 
  than a pair of hippy jeans, and are far 
  less secure than commercial apps.
Do you trust open source? And do you miss your old, patched, hippy pants? Send 
  answers to both to [email protected].
