Your grandmother is smarter than most people in the office.
I too was the email guru once upon a time (last year). It boggled my mind that people simply could not understand that some email was spam, and that some valid mail got caught because their friends forwarded a forward or an ad company sent them an actual email. And I explained this to the same set of people over and over again.
Amen! I use OpenDNS at home & work, but this irritates me non stop when I'm typing too fast and have a typo in a domain name. Don't take 5 seconds to respond with a custom search page. Return a not found immediately.
China has something like $1 trillion of our debt. If they dumped it - and they're not against this tactic - we'd all long for last year's economic downturn.
We get bitched at internationally now if one of our missiles blows up the building next to a target. Imagine if it wiped out 15 square miles around the target.
I don't think running a file that is labeled in the HTML code as as a flash object is really a client side vulnerability, and more the way it's supposed to work.
And why it's a bit harder to fix. Not that I'm giving Adobe a pass by any means.
Windows is only cheap if your time is worth nothing. The annual reinstall of Windows, hardware drivers, apps & data should be enough to convince anyone that Windows is a very time consuming, and thus not so cheap, OS.
I charge $120/hr to clean off viruses, uninstall useless programs, install OS updates. Why? because people - most people - don't know how to do this. So I make sure that people know there is a cheaper solution. Run an OS that doesn't get slower on boot up for every program you install, doesn't require several AV solutions to be protected, doesn't require a firewall to be protected, doesn't require a 'wizard' for every install of ANY thing, doesn't hide the program files from the user (Imagine if the Applications folder on a Mac was limited access!), and on & on & on.
Macs and Linux have their plusses & minuses as well, but it just boggles my mind how much people thing Windows is the cheapest solution. Try this on your friends & family that want you to support their machines. Send them an invoice for how much actual time you worked on their machines - for your current hourly salary. Pretty quickly, they'll see Windows ain't cheap.

Ummm, China's debt is, to one significant figure, a trillion dollars. And that isn't insignificant.

Just drop carpets!
3/4 letter?
So J becomes I
O becomes D
B becomes R
or perhaps you meant something else??? 3 OR 4 work letter???
So, sorority chicks???
I thought the dark possible future of the US was the current UK?

It's a buck. A cup of coffee. A quarter of a beer at a sporting event. Stop whining about it.
We would "just default"?
What America have you been watching for the last 50+ years. There's no way we'd politically do that.
Exactly. Someone who finally gets it.

They fucking own us. Literally and figuratively.
Why wouldn't the NSA want windows to be secure? Ummm, see your first point.

Or the Mac!
I thought there were 15 commandments?
Not if my wife's nudie pictures are on MSNS-files.com!!
Also, how about Adobe has the flash plugin VERIFY that the file it should be running is a valid swf file, and not some swf/zip, etc combo file.
I hope that Adobe could at least figure out how to validate that a flash file was a valid flash file!

Really??

You can run windows apps just fine on a Mac. Have you heard of Boot Camp, or Parallels or VMWare?
Put them together, and read between the lines.
Microsoft has no taste and, so, has no idea what to copy.
