Wow! this was surely an eye opener for me. Until now I had a (wrong) belief that links + Linux is the safest option to browse web-sites. I tried the html file in the directory and links went for a toss. One thought: the exploits seem to target the memory handling techniques of the browsers. What if the browsers are written in Java? Well AFAIK Java lets programmers concentrate on the program at hand than the memory management part of it. Also Java browsers will be platform independent. Looking at Eclipse I feel that Java applications are on par with others in terms of speed. -- If something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway. -- Calvin -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
