Just so everyone's clear, this is also the Professor Yoo whose theory of the unitary executive underlies Bush's claims of vast (and hitherto unknown) power - power to do things like read your mail, listen to your phone calls, and look at your bank transactions - all without a warrant or any judicial review. As well as the rejection of the 1,000 year old doctrine of habeas corpus.
Review the Alito hearings if this isn't familiar to you.
Don't be silly. The problem is implementation, not the language itself. The language was designed to do things like open windows, add popups, and manipulate strings.
The reason there are security holes is that it was implemented as a fully-priveleged com service, as was IE (via shdowvw). Basically the problem is that Javascript in IE can do anything that IE can do, and that IE can do just about anything, including installing software and monkeying around with files.
It's possible to implement IE and Javascript in sandboxes just like you describe java. That's why (for the most part) Firefox is ok. It's only when FFX uses some core windows libraries (like WMF) that it gets into trouble.
Now: it should be said that this isn't. strictly speaking, Microsoft's fault. They built a very open. flexible system, which was subsequently exploited by a lot of people who want to do you harm. Nevertheless, in the modern internet environment, they should really lock down what they're doing.
I don't know your situation, but your boss may think he's doing you a favor. Talk to him, take on more responsibility. Run the company. Do you think there's nothing more to do there? It's a rare company that can't use some extra, motivated, help.
Warren Buffet often argues that since he is more productive than average, it's better for him to put his money to work than donate it to the needy. Once he dies, the argument goes, the money (a greater sum due to compounding) can be distributed.
Take any discovery expedition - Columbus, Cortez, Polo - figure the aggregate value gained vs. the actual cost. This is the principle of investment.

But when the all clear sounds, which side would you want to be on?

which is that you could attach these to the heads of some sharks. Imagine sharks, with 500 terawatt lasers attached to their heads!
Quit being such a CHUMP (Complaining Human Uttering Meaningless Phrases).
