"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Meh, enough is enough, I'm getting mightily cheesed with downloading one patch to fix a security issue only to be told two weeks later I need another patch to fix another issue.

It's sweet.  It is cleaner than IE, not quite as cool as Safari, a bit more colourful than Mozilla, and easier than Camino.  (And yes I have all of them running right now)  But the main thing is that it is NOT IE....

Thankfully it doesn't look like outlook is vulnerable to this particular exploit



I guess there really is a first time for everything.....


EDIT: Is there a way to turn off the tabs in Firefox?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

you know it might be a fun idea to put that little logo under everyone's name who logged in last with a specific browser, you could have diferentendosements for the diferent browsers people use, exept IE were you could have an asortment of diferent little mocking things like "I'm a lasy basturd" or something, I'd fall in this group.

tabs
image permissions
advanced configuration options (about:config)

There are a lot more things that I won't list.

Even if you think they do "the exact same thing", at least have sympathy for us web designers and use a better browser so we can push our side in the web standards battle.

  Also, I'm far from a Microsoft fanboy, but these exploits aren't Microsoft's fault; they're the fault of the @$$holes who think, "Hey!  Let's write a virus!  It'll be teh funnay!!1!"  Those bastards deserve to be locked up for a very long time...:devil:

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts.

Actually, I have heard that IE 7 is supposed to basicly be a copy of Firefox, tabs and everything.

Yeah but since this is MS and they'll just have built it on top of IE6 it will just be a nightmare of exploits which Firefox isn't.

IE7? You mean whatever they'll call the version coming out with Windows Longhorn? In 2006?? :rolleyes: How nice - MS plays catchup 2 years afterwards. Woohoo.

Give me one of those "Get Mo" images too.....

Seriously, this thing is evil, this might give one hell of a zombie storm the next few days. If someone wrights a JPEG to make a PC a bagle or netsky spewer, we're all borked.
