I saw that mentioned in a modified subject line of a
sub-thread (I can't really follow c.o.l.a. while using

| "But browser testers may already be at risk, according to security
| researcher Tom Ferris. Late Tuesday, Ferris released details of a potential
| security flaw in IE 7. An attacker could exploit the flaw by crafting a
| special Web page that could be used to crash the browser or gain complete
| control of a vulnerable system, Ferris said in an advisory on his Web site.
| Microsoft had no immediate comment on Ferris' alert."

What is this thing people call Internet Explorer anyway? I hear it's
used a lot, but it tends to flicker, pop, crash and leak out
sensitive user data. It also does not support CSS properly.
