HTML Rendering Crashes IE
SlimySlimy writes "According to this article on Secunia, a new IE exploit was found that crashes almost any version of Internet Explorer past 4.0 with just 5 lines of plain HTML code (no JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.). If you're very brave, you can test/crash your IE by going here." There's also a note on SecurityFocus.
Oooh, big roller coaster (browser).
Of course it can break (crash).
Slashdot: But the operator is drunk (it's a coding mistake in something independent of the browser).
User: Nah, it's too huge, can't ride on it.
The parser is broken in one small place in a very simple way that any coder should be able to catch.
The message on the other side of this sig is false.
it kind of pisses me off when they leave the blue screensaver on and tell me that I have to fix it...I've told them how to fix it--get Linux.
You're an elitist prick. You are the reason Linux is still so difficult to use. People like you are the reason other people don't want to use Linux. You think you are God, you're not. You're not even important. You are a sad, lonely, patheitc human who finds solace in dehumanizing others with your egotistical, arrogant, conceited attitude.
No offense, but many Alpha-products are perfectly comparable to ultra-mature Microsoft products like IE or MSOffice.
Especially Phoenix/Firebird/Mozilla-Browser/whateveritscalled now which is very stable at least on my installation.
