Interesting...  while this is surely a bad thing.    Anyone who still has
Java installed and enabled in the web browser that is used   is  just
begging to get their system owned+bugged,   and to a lesser extent,  those
who still have Adobe reader browser plugins turned on.....   it is much
safer operating to just assume it has already happened, than to wait for
the news. :)
