The U.S. Department of Homeland security is advising Americans not to
use the Internet Explorer Web browser until a fix is found for a serious
security flaw that came to light over the weekend.

Homeland Security?? Does hacking count as terrorism now?

Homeland Security?? Does hacking count as terrorism now?

That kind, absolutely. Huge investment in it. Of course, the US has
done it's own bits of hacking, most notably with Iranian centrifuges.

My interest is primarily in killing off IE8, and since MS no longer
supports XP, the primary repository of IE8, it's all good...

Not that I would shed tears if other IE versions died.
