Java! Uninstall It, Update it, or bend over and grab the ketchup!


Recommended Posts

Is it too much to ask the consumer to keep their computers updated to avoid getting viruses? That's the easiest question of all. YES. Warwagon knows...

if everyone kept their computers updated and virus-free .. i'd be out of a job.

I use Java 7, and if I'm using 6 on another machine, it updates when I do my weekly maintenance, if there is a new update I make a trip to my computers and update them ALL. Only one machine is running XP, that machine does NOT have Java on it. I use mine mainly for Minecraft.

Strange, I have installed JAVA on every machine I owned regardless of whether I needed it or not and have never been infected because of it.

same. never had a single issue on the many, many computers on which it's been installed

Then you must be a good little boy and are keeping it updated.

I don't get it. What's ketchup?? Why do you have to bend over??

It means your computer is going to get raped up ass (think of it like a bar of soap in prison) and bleed the same color as ketchup.

No you dont. There are 1000s of alternative object orientated languages.

Based on this amazing outlook, I went into work today and demanded I don't use Java anymore because some guys on the internet hate it. Unfortunately, they weren't so keen on rewriting the millions of lines of code that have been written over the past few years. Now I don't have a job. :(

Apparently the newest version of Java Will now prompt a user before it runs ANY java applet. That being said, every average user I know would not think twice about clicking the run button.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
