I just wrote and fixed a bunch of code in one of my assignments. Logic errors. Ew.

The time zone add-on is one of these small things that are useful. Oh well.

Broken add-ons remind me of a certain browser in its earlier days. I'm actually glad that a broken add-on is now the exception for browser plugins, Java notwithstanding.
And what about flash, that is really save either, I have it blocked for most sites. I also block the most anoying adds.

Flash's a different story these days. Adobe is much more diligent than Oracle when it comes to pushing automatic updates (no elevation required, doesn't push foistware, updates silently), and it's on a timely schedule - in sync with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, if I'm not wrong. This ensures that the updates are safely and reliably pushed out to everyone with automatic updates, without even bothering. It's extremely unlikely to have an unpatched version of Adobe Flash these days, especially if you're the kind that is careful with computer software.

Yeah but it is just waiting on the next thing to fail, but the the main cause of getting something is the user download shit that isn't really good and all.
But I almost never use websites with java on it although there is one website for my work that has it.

Edit I also see that there are other things wrong with bulbagarden. like the youtube link of @Ninfia; goes to a bulbagarden page instead of a youtube page. And I also noticed that on someone's tumbler link.

Really? that's pretty odd. There is a thing here in certain forums where Pokemon's names link to the Bulbapedia article, however its meant to be that way. You can disable it if you want in your user control panel.

Hence the security disclosure policy. Pretty much, by the time a vulnerability is disclosed, the companies involved are ready to patch the vulnerability at the same time, or very soon after. That's pretty much the modus operandi for Microsoft, and I'm sure that Adobe has taken the same approach for this these days. It's not like the old days anymore - usually, these "bugs" are reported in private to the companies involved, and the companies involved usually has enough time to patch the bugs before the next patch cycle begins. The only time the cycle is broken is when a zero-day hole has been found - something that is exploited actively before it's made known to the companies in question.

Sometimes the problem is between the keyboard and the chair. Sometimes, though, the problem is not the user's fault. Some of the recent, high-profile hacks involving Java actually involved a compromised site.

I guess this month's the hacking and fixes month.

I'M BACK BITCHEZZZZZZZZ!

(I just came back from a months-long hiatus, and this seemed like the most appropriate place to put it)

Tried that but still the same effect well, odd.
It's a vicious cycle.

Yup, I'm THAT Twiggy.
Okay thanks for verifying. And how is your 3ds coming along you did have on right.

Yeah, I don't know if anyone in here knows me, I post in this thread pretty sporadically. I just felt like anywhere else, writing that would have been off-topic.

I want to see if anyone remembers their fairy tales.

Give a synopsis of Rumpelstiltskin. No peeking.

Girl has to make a sweater or something for a king, she can't get it done so she gets help of Rumpelstiltskin no knowing his name yet.
After she has completed three task for the king she is alowed to marry the king, but Rumpelstiltskin wants her firstborn so she goes with it.

Later when she has a baby Rumpelstiltskin comes by and asks for his part of the deal she says no, he is really angry but he says to her
that if she can tell him his name he will not take the child.
She does everything to find it out, she even sends out people to find it out and a hunter hears Rumpelstiltskin and tell the name to
the queen.
Then Rumpelstiltskin visits her for the last time, and is getting told his name.
He is getting so mad that he tears himself apart.
@Jolene; that is how I remember it.

@mariowie; Something like that. I just got Grimm's fairy tales on my phone, and realized that half of my childhood fairy tales were from there.

I have never even heard of Rumpelstiltskin, so don't count on me to recite it.

@mariowie; you left out that the reason why the hunter finds out his name is because Rumpelstiltskin is sitting on a stump constantly reciting a rhyme about how no one knows his name is Rumpelstiltskin. Then the hunter overhears that and that's how he learns his name :p
