So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

But according to the ZDNet article: "The next version of OpenOffice (version 2.3) arrived on 17 September and is not affected by the flaw."

Maybe it would be kind to acknowledge the following:
1) It's taken a really long time for someone to discover, and no one yet has taken the opportunity to employ, this flaw.
2) The latest version already includes a patch.
This story comes across as a bit of a "just as bad as Microsoft" hit job. The fact is, when civilians find hackable flaws in Windows or IE, the fixes are insufferable and frequently ignored for a duration. This announcement is more noble than shameful, the Open Office movement deserves a retraction.

The second paragraph of that article says that not only is it version 2.0.4 *and prior*, but also that version 2.3 is unaffected.
I think you should post an apology, Ted.
