- freehunter 14y agoYou must have missed my last sentence. People work at the companies who are running Java on the server. People work at the companies who are developing Java on the desktop. A lot of people. A significant enough number of people that the language makes #2 on the TIOBE list. Debates about the TIOBE relevancy aside, it's at least somewhat of an indicator. People are working for companies that use Java, and these employees cannot disable Java in their browser because it's required for their job. I happen to work at one of these shops, and I can confirm to you 12,000 people in the US from just my company alone who must have Java in their browser and running constantly. We're not alone in this regard. We're all vulnerable, and the suggestion to disable the plugin doesn't help much.
- mrgoldenbrown 14y agoOK. I took your advice. Except I couldn't forget because now my VPN client, gotomeeting, and various internal enterprisey things all stopped working :)
