Really, who are the idiots that decided an accelerated release cycle is a good thing?
It just shows me the opposite, software companies have no confidence in any release.
(Worst is chrome, it installs a task manager job that checks for updates every hour!! That is just completely forked! Message to Pichai: It's not a competition stupid.)
At this rate 5 years from now 50% of the worlds computing power and internet traffic will be programs to checking for and downloading updates.

It's mainly to patch security vulnerabilities and keep users protected. It's funny how people mercilessly rag on IE about supposed security issues yet when it comes to the insecurities of their chosen browsers a blind eye is turned.

No, I just rag on IE because it's an ugly, slow, pile of ... (insert your own word)
And I rag on Edge even more for being a useless, ugly, pile of ... (insert your own word because all mine are unprintable).

At least it's not so riddled with security bugs that it needs updated every hour 
|
|
|
|
|
So few people actually use it that the security holes don't appear so much!

Yeah the minority of people that genuinely understand about security. Gullible people who have been conned by the myth that open source software is more secure use other browsers.

Perhaps if they tested it a bit more before rushing to release there would not be so many vulnerabilities. I'd rather wait a few weeks for something a bit better tested rather than have a new update every week or less - unless there was some huge issue [that actually mattered].
Could you imagine if Boing released new airplanes like these 'reputable' companies released software? There are more people in Fortune 500 companies using that software than there are staff flying around. Software companies today are just totally irresponsible - and the next war, a cyber war, will do a hell of a lot more damage than bullets and bombs.

Alas writing code that can't be exploited is a fairly advanced skill and the main issue is that the devs aren't thinking about all the possible security issues, the testers aren't thinking about it either or don't have the technical expertise to test, and when the code is in the wild you have people who know all about security vulnerabilities actively trying to find vulnerabilities. It's a tough situation for sure. What you should be really worried about is the internet of things. People focussed 100% on getting something "cool" to market and 0% on the security of what they're releasing. I've said it before but the internet of things is regressing back to the early days of SMTP, FTP etc where security simply wasn't on people's radar and now we're dealing with a global platform simply not built for security, and with the IoT when half of your home and medical equipment is on the net it's a bit late to think about how secure it all is.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

That'd be the Update Event Horizon, I think.

Then 28% for funny cat videos.
21% for netflix, etc.
Damn!
That only leaves 2% for pr0n!

Please. While we are at it, we could ban everything we don't like from the Neonet. Any ideas?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
