You people get so caught up arguing over every unimportant little nuance you've forgotten the point: mtgox is completely unsecure. Do you really believe someone had 500,000 BTC in their account? Yeah right. mtgox's account was hacked. They're making tons of money but make no investment to fix their piss poor security.

Soooooo if it was hacked why did most of the transactions come from one account? If they had kept them all separate and made separate withdraws it would have increased their take and slowed their discovery. Instead they took a whole extra step to consolidate all their accounts.

As for this linux *bsd debate, I see a lot of people talking out their rear.

Me too.

Reading wikipedia does not make you a security expert. Running gentoo does not make you a linux expert. And neither of these things qualify you to speak on the topic of network security. *bsd is the first choice when security is the major concern, period.

Similarly saying "first chioce" doesn't make it so. Saying "period" doesn't really make your case any stronger. In fact asserting things when allegedly the evidence is easily found but somehow you just couldn't bring yourself to link to it....Kind of weakens your case doesn't it?

FreeBSD is a fine operating system, so is OpenBSD. At one time OpenBSD would have been the top of the heap for security but as I've said times have changed. Feature parity is reached and some of Theo D's decisions over the last five years have been...idiosyncratic.
