Progress...

Well so far this year I have enjoyed VET IT. I have done the safety certificates, I've changed a Printer cartridge over, I've screencasted a help file for locating the download quota and i've started building a computer. Among the most annoying things that have happened this year is the fact we cant change passwords and that the Hardrive that i ordered has been discontinued.

In the next couple of weeks I'll have to order a new hard drive and finally finish of my computer. I also need to do more research on Linux and install it on a computer for my expert group.

Highly Critical Hole Found in IE

"Highly Critical Hole Found in IE

dotpavan writes "Eweek reports on a highly critical MS Internet Explorer hole found by Secunia Research's Andreas Sandblad. The vulnerability is due to the processing of the "createTextRange()" method call applied on a radio button control. From Secunia, "The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP SP2." The vulnerability has also been confirmed in Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview (January edition) though it could be avoided by turning off Active Scripting, as suggested by Microsoft Security Response Center blog. How would this put MS in the market, hit by the ever-growing shots of vulnerabilties? And would the divorce of IE7 from Vista's Windows Explorer help?""

I can't say that i'm really suprised by the fact that IE has a security flaw. I mean MS is practically famous for flaws in there software. Its just a bigger hole then usual. As usual MS has done almost nothing to fix up the error.
