Here's the thing: anyone who can run a vulnerable version of Java on
their Mac and has installed Apple's security updates has already
done this. <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572> <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
> The last Java update Apple released went through and purged Java
from the browser plugins. (As I found out, unpleasantly, when I
tried to use a network-based KVM we purchased. Yet another
'Universal' devioce that is truly universal, it runs under Windows
on Dells, on HP's, on Lenovo's…)
(Apple's relesed these updates for 10.6, 7 and 8. 10.5 and lower is
officially deprecated, and doesn't run the latest versions of Java.
PPC machines CAN'T run the latest versions of java. I'm mildly
surprised that they released the fix for 10.6.)
Anyone else either deliberately went out of their way to re-enable
Java or is not running a version that's vulnerable.
Almost all of these new security issues with Java are the result of
Oracles new code in the latest version.
(and the appeal to 'Open Source' java just won't happen. As I've
said before the entire impetus for Oracle to buy Sun was to acquire
Java, which is Oracle's lifeblood, since so much of their database
stuff is now written in Java.)
Everything else (like hardware, VirtualBox, etc) was gravy for them,
and Oracle is no more going to open source Java than they would
Oracle Enterprise Database.

Sooner or later you will run into an online form that is important
to you
which will require Java be turned on.
That's a fact.

ITYM Java*Script*, which has very little to do actually with Java, and
assuming you are using one of the still-maintained PowerPC browsers is
much more up-to-date.

The DoD is telling people to turn off the Java plug in. While
governments
websites have forms that depend on it to be active.CNet says Oracle
may not
have a total fix for years.
Turn off the Java Plug in and experiment. You tell me if it is a Java
script or Java or any other distinction you want to make.
I turned off the Java Plug in weeks ago and found online
transactions I
could not do. And this is after installation of a Java script blocker
months before that which allowed the same forms to be active.

TenFourFox has had Java disabled specifically in the browser since
version 6,
and I haven't found any form I cannot complete with my bank or
billpay sites.
If you have some specific URLs, I'd be interested.

Please give us a specific example of such a page.

G5 Damaged in Shipping
glen <[email protected]> Jan 29 03:27PM -0800
>G5 dual 2.5Mhz, June 2004, Radeon 9800 XT video. Model #A1047 EMC#
1969. M9457LL/A, liquid cooling.

Thanks for the replies, my response will follow but first the latest.
Monday: the damaged G5 ran for 3-4 hours with no apparent problems
BUT when booting I would hear the fans start to rev up and a short
pause rev down (< 1 sec) the a continued rev up and a successful boot.
Left it sit overnight without power and the side cover off, exposed
side down on workbench with tissue paper under the LCS to check for
leaks. No drips or wet areas on tissue paper the next morning.
Rebooted and checked back in an hour or so to find a panic screen.
Now it no longer boots. No start up chime, the fans start to rev and
then rev down (< 1 sec) and stay down, blank screen.
Not good! power supply issue? Damaged CPU's? Any thoughts?
I'll try to summarize my reply's to posts I can remember, both on
and off list.
First, I still can't remove the LCS cover as suggested. There was a
plastic stud or rivet holding the cover in place. I shaved the top
off with a knife but still I could not remove the cover.
As far the damage as a result of shipping I tend to agree it may not
be the source. There is little damage to the shipping box. A slight
crush on one corner and a small cut on one side that did not
penetrate to the inside. OTOH, the G5 was not double boxed and some
random pieces of styrofoam used to to keep the 44 lb contents in
place were broken.
Regarding the idea of transporting the internals to another case, I
agree that I will not trust the seller to ship the proper G5 case
for this model in good condition. And as I suspected from two
posters the process could be long and tedious. Perhaps a great
retirement project but I still have at least a year to go and need
the G5 now as I enter a greatly needed busy day job schedule.
Probably won't get much trouble shooting time until weekend --looks
like junk, thanks everyone --glen

It sounds like you are drawing the same conclusion I am at this
point. If
it worked that would be one thing, but it doesn't. You paid for a
working
computer. Not another project, however fun. Send it back.

Hi,
Yahoo is useless on a G4 with Tiger. Lately all the links in my e-
mails
didn't work and longer mails were shortened. I switched to Gmail and
everyting is more snappy and actually WORKS. Fuggetaboud Yahoo. I
think it
was sold and the buyers let it die a slow death ...
Best regards, Jörg.
