Cross OS java botnet is not the only one that'll catch a lot of people out Skype for MAC is the latest, and the nasties 'could' transfer to any connected user, or online contact! http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=10992 Aitch

Doesn't some Dev program need java? Maybe it was the Android dev program in Wine that needed java or was it some music program. I do remember somebody told me I needed java? Not sure though.- _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum |

I only use it because I'm on ebay a lot 
However, I do find it helps rendering speeds with some sites - other than that....can't say I use it for anything else that I'm aware of... Aitch

1. Open a scientific calculator, such as Galculator, in decimal (base 10) numeric notation mode 2. Using numeral keys, ten-key pad or mouse, enter 12648430 in the calculator window 3. Change the calculator to hexadecimal (base 16) numeric notation mode 4. A coherent hexadecimal number in the display will indicate the good kind of Java

Whilst Google are busy doing no evil, some wikid people are searching for all kinds of things http://www.smdepot.net/news/computer-tutorials/updated-using-googles-full-capabilities/ . . . not my sort of thing but some might be able to scare themselves silly about what is available . . .

Hi all Just a quick message to say thanks to lobster and aitch for the great links to help with the checking of web security. also thanks to playdayz for his great tor pet for lucid which is working great with spup100 (especially the baby version without the evil flashplayer, I am also running from a multisession dvd in ram so no saved records )
Keep up the good work and dont remove the bacofoil headware (even though it wont save you from a thermal imaging camera) Stripe |

No 
Just offering info on how to be secure/paranoid.
Not really cyber-going anywhere I need to keep secure or secret. I am transparently a fake paranoid
Maybe if I go to these sites I can scare myself silly? http://www.pearltrees.com/#/N-q=linux%20security http://condofire.com/2011/04/03/john-cleese-is-still-really-funny-alerts-to-threats-in-2011-europe/ m m m . . . not working
OK how about Google (and their spook comrades - See AI) and BlockHead-Martin (defense contractor) having access to the first ten million dollar prototype Quantum computing device? http://www.crazyengineers.com/lockheed-martin-buys-quantum-computer-from-d-wave-systems-for-10-million-429/ Even though these devices have remarkable code cracking capabilities they will also have potential for benign use. Trying to feel uneasy . . . nope
