well, mine was already set to false, but it's nice theyr'e getting this out there.

I loved the fact that bush2000 posted it. Of course, it was jsut to highlight the fact that 'no web browser is 100% secure', of course.

If this was an IE flaw, there wouldn't be a patch 4 days later. Roughly 14 days after it was announced, microsoft would issue a press release announce they would soon disclose their plans to announce a patch for the flaw which may or may not exist.

I hear that MS has postponed their scheduled montly Tuesday patch. The must be having quality control problems with all those jobs they outsourced to China.

So what. Making a patch available doesn't mean that everybody affected is going to apply that patch. If history has proven anything, it's that people don't apply patches in a timely fashion.
