Disable Java NOW!
The US Dept. of Homeland Security has just issued a warning to all those who use java on their computer browsers.

The latest version has a serious security flaw! This is just a TEMPORARY condition until Oracle secures and updates their java code.
NOTE: This is not about Javascript! That is a different program and necessary to run a lot of things, even here on icmag.

Read here:

I've decided to leave the chat open for now. It's up to each of you to ensure your security from hackers.
Turns out our chat only uses java on the server side, so you can disable java in your browser and still chat!

To disable in Firefox go to tools/addons and find the java entry and disable it.

They say it's version 7... But all java is a security risk at some point.

This happens more often than I care to remember. I disabled Java in Firefox a couple months ago, auto upgrades to Firefox enabled the Java. Heads up, better check it yourself.

Damn.

NoScript browser add-on. Java-block on-demand. Get it.

And thanks for sounding the alarm, Skip. This is important for people to know.

The chat applet needs JavaScript to run. Or at least this is what it is trying to tell me when I try to go into a chatroom with JavaScript disabled.

This application requires JavaScript. Your browser either does not support JavaScript or scripts are being blocked.

Later/edit: JAVASCRIPT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JAVA! READ BELOW FOR MORE INFO!
