I think you've betrayed your skillset (again).

I'm tired of all the arrogance you can find in this forum. I'm not paid to educate you.
If you want my opinion, please try not to be offensive.

By far the most demonstrably arrogant person is you. Just listen to yourself.

"I'm not paid to educate you". No indication of humility there (the very idea that the little mouse would get some education is out of the question!)
"It's a question of counting flaws and measuring uptime." - no humility there either (can't possibly be anything else)
"I think your confusion might not arise from BSD." - oooh snap but not humble.
"Read better, hate less." - Yes, can't possibly be your writing. Everyone else just reads you wrong. That's really humble...no wait...the other thing...arrogant. That's it.

To be safe, Mt. gox need a complete rewrite of their code, plus the use of a stronger infrastructure. But they wont do this, because it would cost them Millions to keep the server offline for 1 month.

That's actually kind of interesting from a security perspective. In my experience:

i) Re-writes are rarely the answer and if you must do them targeted re-writes are better than whole app. New code tends to mean new bugs. It's often a case of the devil you know vs. the devil you don't.
ii) It seems to imply that you couldn't just do a parallel development. MG definitely has money and they are hiring. No reason why you couldn't put the current code on maintenance and move your best talent to make the new branch.

These two assumptions make me wonder if you've every really been involved in large-scale development work.

Anyway looks like the mouse has taken his ball and gone home...
