...jeez ...shouldn't "enterprise grade software" imply at least a "give some fuck" attitude towards security? wtf is wrong with Oracle?!
Most browsers have an autoupdate mechanism. Can't Oracle encourage browser devs to push an update with a patched java plugin and Microsoft to push a windows update with it? I mean, really, wtf?!
- sk5t 14y agoDon't go dragging Microsoft into this - they haven't shipped anything Java-related in a long, long time. Also, this isn't Slashdot circa 2003, "M$" is quite passé.
- nnq 14y agoOk, ok, I edited the acronym... I was thinking about updating the IE's Java plugin, and I don't know if it can be done other way than via Windows Update. I'm so annoyed by the state of Java in the browser because applets are the only means of running Clojure or Jython or JRuby or your other fav JVM language in the browser, modifying the DOM and doing whatever you wish without needing to compile to Javascript. I know, this way of doing things will die out, but today it can still be done for something like a company internal app and it's really cool from the developer's pov!
