Very much on topic, really. Blows my mind to say that, but computer safety is part of information-age survival. Industrial-age survival is knowing things like how to change a flat tire and how to turn off the gas line. It's just another arrow in the quiver.

Unfortunately, I need Java for some work related websites, so I'm disabling it except when needed. Fortunately, I rarely have to do anything work related from home, but when I do, I do and I need Java. It even is part of our time tracking system. *eyeroll*

Disabled or not, there is a Java update that was shipped today.
