I went to patch my Dad's Windows XP box last night.
Imagine my surprise when I found that he was already running Java 1.5!
Neither of us has any idea how it got there - he barely even knows what Java is.
Incidentally, on one of my laptops I found that I was running a vulnerable version of the Java Virtual Machine. It's running XP Home. I went to the Internet settings in the control panel, unchecked the "run Sun java' checkbox, rebooted, and found that IE was *still* vulnerable. Can anyone explain that?

Is there anything people won't misspell nowadays?
Honey, I shrunk the CygWin [twu.net]
It's "Cygwin".
