    Because you're a giant shithole. How's that for an explanation, you fucking generalizing prick?

    You would think Slashdot, as a bastion of open source software enthusiasts, would do something about the title of this article! This is neither Denial Of Service or an Exploit unless there is something I missed and it's possible to insert some code into the html for local execution. But there it is in big letters on the front page. :(

    Yes. Bam! Your web browser locked up!

    Further proof that MSIE is the more advanced browser. After all, it doesn't require any additional code to freeze. Plus, it'll temporarily screw up your whole UI while it does!

    (Sorry. I hate perpetuating the old MSIE vs. Firefox flamefest, but that joke wrote itself.)
