I just closed a notification from firefox saying that the .NET framework was a problem and that it had been disabled. I thought firefox was just full of crap, but hey oh, turns out it's actually microsoft. #security
@medrick: Actually, the .net framework was not optional for me. I never authorized it, yet there it is, installed without any obvious way to uninstall it. #security
@medrick: Windows Vista's Windows Update settings by default run the updates and include recommended updates as well as critical. So it's likely it was slipped in on a lot of peoples' updates without their knowledge. #security
@medrick: Nope, not an "optional" download at all. It installs automatically as part of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I've had to remove it after-the-fact from 2 computers now. #security
@thegreatpablo: So you left your computer automatically downloading and installing things on it's own. Yes.. that's their fault that they are following your settings. #security
@ar7983: Does your firewave emit a high pitched noise when in use? I got mine 7 or 8 months ago but i refuse to use it (which is a shame for my surround sound) because of the problem.
@Matthew Rebmann: it does not. I've had mine for a few years, and save for a problem with the internal power supply, I have loved it. Basically, a few years ago, I apparently overloaded it and so every time I turn the computer on, I have to activate the Dolby settings, which is fine, except that I can no longer use the software in Snow Leopard.
i have an issue that every time I bootup, iPhoto shows up as if it's running as a Startup application. i've tried everything to get this behavior to stop but it still does it.
Will it stop Safari from crashing? Or the NYTimes app? Or stop the iPod from randomly stopping while I'm in the middle of watching a video? Or help me actually get 3G speeds when using simple apps like Stocks? Or play nice with ActiveSync?

Saying they "slipped" it in is a misnomer, it was an optional download. Automatic updates only automatically install bugfixes etc.
Also, your "link" to uninstall the .net framework is actually a patch to the addon.
I know you guy are often biased against microsoft, but just wow. #security

The framework it's self is nothing more than a platform similar to java. #security

1. OS X locks up when running safari.
2. iPhoto runs on bootup.
