I of course get the faculty newsletter. The interesting part is below. Looks like this is all because of CERT(www.cert.org). I love how firefox and mozilla are listed separately.
"4. CHANGE IN INTERNET BROWSERS RECOMMENDED
Over the past several months, considerable attention has been paid to the security problems surrounding Microsoft's Internet Explorer by the general news media and information technology departments in higher education. The Computer Emergency and Response Team, Carnegie Mellon University's federally funded research group formed to deal with security issues on the Internet, has issued numerous vulnerability alerts and recommends that users switch to a different Web browser. As a result, Penn State's Information Technology Services (ITS) is urging that the University computing community use standards-based Web browsers other than Internet Explorer to help minimize exposure to attacks that occur through browser vulnerabilities. ITS has made this recommendation because the threats are real and alternatives exist to mitigate Web browser vulnerabilities. Browser options include Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape Communicator, Opera and Safari."

if when I read the headline of this article, I immediately thought "Weekend at Bernie's 3"
better yet...a billboard that yells out "hey , couldnt you go for a Pepsi/Morgtage/Viagra right about now", as you walk by
anyone else think that cars without keys should have a shiny red button that kills the engine
he must have been going in reverse
