UPDATE: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/java-flaw-that-prompted-homeland-security-warning-will-be-fixed-shortly-1.1112071http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/11/us-java-security-idUSBRE90A0S320130111Hackers have figured out how to exploit Java to install malicious software enabling them to commit crimes ranging from identity theft to making an infected computer part of an ad-hoc network of computers that can be used to attack websites.
"We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem," the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team said in a posting on its website late on Thursday.

Oracle declined to comment on the warning on Friday.
I would suggest you tell at least a couple of people about this. It's pretty radical for a government to tell hundreds of millions of users to stop using something. (cough...torrents... cough)

Do yourself a favor and don't do us a favor. Just cause you post something doesn't mean we should run to your feet and worship you.

**Comes in running and bowing, nearly diving to Doom Yoshi's feet...but then reads Nola's response and slowly gets up and backs out.**
