We could like they did in Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves: send up a lightweight string, then use that to haul up a rope, then use that to haul up a cable, then use that to haul up a space elevator cable!
I don't *think* I saud give FF ten years... my point was rather that even ten years on IE is still shite. How fucked up must its codebase be? How much of an abortion must its security model be that it is *still* having serious exploits found?
In other news, apparently slashdot now requires *5* minutes between commenting. This site is becoming a fucking joke.
When FF is ten years old, like IE, he'll have a point. Right now, a 2-year-old piece of software is getting a similar number of exploits to an application that should be mature and stable and secure... but isn't.
It's perfectly possible to write a memory leak in Java. If an Object is placed in a Collection and never removed, then it will never go out of scope and never be removed.
In other words, don't rush to blame the language. Applications like Eclipse are a dead giveaway that it can be done 'right', and applets like the one describe are prolly a demonstration that it can be done wrong;-)
6 years of grad school, a doctorate, and then you find out that you really aren't paid any better than losers straight from Party U--and THEY probably get health care.
Frankly, if you didn't work this out sooner, you don't deserve that doctorate.

"no profound negative impacts to the surrounding population"
My parents are heavily involved with the Chernobyl Trust. Either dozens of small children every year are faking brilliantly for weeks on end, or you are so utterly wrong that it's hard not to conclude that you have no knowledge on the matter at all.

And there's no evidence that any of them know of the vulnerability before the flaw is revealed.
Hate to break it to you, but you're absoultely wrong. Microsoft recently announced they had found and patched four (iirc) vulnerabilities by automating surfing of 'dodgy' websites, looking for successful rooting attacks and analysing how they got in.
Hence there is definite evidence that the blackhats know of at least some vulnerabilites before anyone else.

Cheers for the heads-up. I'll download them tonight, have a try ;-)
J.
Yeah, because spies always follow rules.
Bah.

(Currently 'working' in a secure environment)
I knew you weren't a newbie ;-)
Sorry for the delay in replying but apparently the new slashcode reuire FIVE FUCKING MINUTES between posts. I will give up on slashdot soon.
"Dupes for nerds. Badly edited press releases that don't matter."
God, I've gone for a piss and come back and this stupid site still says "slow down cowboy". What a bunch of arse.

No you prat, I have mod points but won't be able to use them in this story! I'd say you must be new here, but you must've been around a while ;-)

Nah, so am I mate, I just wondered if there could be a yank with such good grasp of abuse.
;-)
Now I wonder if the poor sod you called a fat knacker even knows he's been insulted
Cheers,
J.
PS: Admit it, we are all that abusive.
Gotta ask: what nationality are you?
J.
Mine's the same, except I append "...for even extremely small values of large" ;-)

"Its", "its", "its", "its", "its", "its"!

I think I can see the problem.
J.
Amazing the things I never knew. "The Adjacent-Sibling Selector" eh?
;-)
Thanks, that should just about do it
J.
Thanks, I'll give this a try tomorrow (at work). Time to watch Lost now ;-)

Are you sure you're not just tapping your fingers in time - on the caps lock?
That was really my point - it's absurd to say they won't have net access and yet they will have cellphones.
Damn, so close! It appears hover will only effect child divs, not siblings. Back to the DOM walk I think. J.
So that's why he's a Big Fat Idiot ;-)
J.
What do think they're going to be using? Their cell phones? Their land lines? The mail?
