Internet Explorer and News for Nerds

I would think that anyone who posts and reads Slashdot knows not to use Internet Explorer. Have we reached the point yet where a new flaw is no longer news?

I would think REAL news would be if a test somewhere showed a version of Internet Explorer superior to ANY other browser.

ADOBE is the fucking issue, as noted by the consistent hack-a-mac contest winner. Always Adobe which gets compromised. Always some THIRD PARTY NON-STANDARD that fucks everything up.
