That was a funny story, do you have more of those jokes?

OK, that's one bug that's been found about a year and a half ago:

How many hundreds of security holes have been patched in Internet
Explorer and ActiveX?

Thanks for the details. I'm guessing there is also a bug that causes
details to drop from posts. All I see is an upper case sentence that
says his 100BG (whatever those are) became a 50GB drive yesterday. And
this is a Linux issue?. Maybe the missing details mention checking the
BIOS first. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

I looked at it with two different browsers to make sure, but they both
look the same from here. Good to know since I am planning on setting my
laptop to dual boot in the near future.

That is a more common thing with windows. More you plug windows and IE then the
more it leaks.
