    The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

    i disagree. the reason homeland has issued the warning is there is no known counter or cure for it yet. or prevention other then to deactivate until java comes up with an update.

    I read the notice. The Java issue is mainly with untrusted sites. It's theoretically possible to have it happen if a trusted site gets TRIBBLE, but that requires the trusted site to get TRIBBLE.

    Here's the original notice: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA13-010A.html
