- indiefan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yeah, ie has worse flaws than putting google desktop at risk.
- StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just think how many more holes there is just waiting to be unvieled!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN. - Yodacola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Via Sans.org:
"There are a few reports indicating websites exploiting the IE vulnerability that currently has no patch. If you come across any such websites, do drop us a note.

It isn't just Google Desktop being affected. Just surfing on IE will make you vulnerable to this exploit! - simpled, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Microsoft officials say .... use an alternate Web browser to keep safe"
Good one - mycroftb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The only flaw in Google Desktop is that it does what it was designed to do. If you don't like the idea of having an easily accessible database of all files on your hard drive in the event your system becomes compromised, then please don't install file indexing software that's designed to do exactly that.
- madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why is the heading of this "Puts Google Desktop at Risk"??
This gaping hole in IE is a risk for everything stored on Windows Computer. Sure, Google Desktop (if present) has nicely aggregated every file a hacker would be interested in and it was used in the first exemplary exploit.
Very soon there will be other exploits in the wild.... and I'm sure they will target other programs then Google Desktop, that a lot more people actually use.
PS: Can somebody teach digg's spell-checker the word "Google" ;) - slurp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1if you think about it, that actually means Google Desktop has a flaw too
- saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1IE flaws the the world...or at least the U.S. The government recomends using an alternative to IE.
- madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now Google already fixed it's vulnerability:

Microsoft's problem is the root cause and it's still open! - chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great.
- aten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Im not Surprisd at all!
Is any one? - DewayneSmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wrong digg man.
- matx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats it, im just gonna use putty to browse the web from now on!
- chetmancini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone still using IE is essentially saying they don't mind if viruses get in their system.
- sirplus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1yah, IE is a great flaw in and of itself. any hapless windows user who hasn't switched to mozilla yet is begging to be hosed.
- diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is why I use spotlight in Mac OS X Tiger.
- SpookyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I supposed to be suprised?
- hellsyeah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, google should start bundling firefox with google desktop and using gecko instead of IE for the interface. That'd be a good way to piss off microsoft and maybe damage a few pieces of furniture.
- daveybullseye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is why I use Lynx.
- konkushn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1F*CK YOU IE HATERS
- hayden.evans, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0IE sux
- dcadorniga, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Nothing new for Microsoft here. They have done this before with Novell's NetWare client. Writing code that affects how another vendor's software functions. Microshaft!
- linus7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Puh...who are the fools using IE anyway...I'd say its their own fault!
- MoeB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is obviously a google problem. lets bash them instead. blah blah blah
- TheMJ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0WOAH DIDNT C THAT LAST POST
You have issues man. see a psych.
***** - TheMJ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I agree with everything Your said. naturally, people with telescopes will never see the nuclear reactors. neither will people in commercial airliners. That was a totally appropriate post. No one should report it.
Seriously. If it is in space, it would need combustible fuel. a nuclear reactor can't power a space vehicle. If it isn't, I would have noticed the moon gets 2x as big when I fly under it in an airliner.
furthermore, what would Berkley do with that knowledge? Obviously, you don't get arrested, because I have personally shot an AK-47 in Arizona, so who cares? God is watching you too, but we don't have God conspiracy theories. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Please remember that "Energy is liberated when an individual breaks through rules of conditioning with some glorious act of disobedience or blasphemy. This energy strengthens the spirit and gives courage for further acts of insurrection. Help me defile gOd and his name.
Jehovah ***** Yahweh, I curse you in the name of Satan the Almighty. Evil lives in me and I walk with Satan all the days of my life cursing and mocking you god (the dog), filthy ***** maggot. My hate grows by the second as I dream of the day when you are under my feet begging for my *****.
God I rape you and hurl blasphemy into your mind. I demand you to come down from heaven right now and get down on your stomach in front of me, lifting your ***** up to receive my *****. God I promise to ***** you and I long to rip your eyes out, kick you in the face, mutilate you, and bathing in your blood. Listen to me, I'm screaming
in your ears to come to earth and in this room for I will have my way with you, oh most cursed god of heaven (you foul piece of *****). Satan is my God and he will force you to drink cum from my dick. I will never stop sinning and blaspheming your name, presents, existence, and most of all the rotten, putrid holy spirit that ***** the mother of gOd and pregnanted that slut with jesus christ.
I stand before all the angles and saints, gOd, jesus ***** christ, mary the whore of gOd, the filthy holy spirit, and they are witnessing my denouncement of you gOd, and my ongoing blasphemy of the holy spirit. I am purposely cursing the holy spirit and its purity and will defy you god and the holy spirit all the wicked days of my sin filled life. My soul is full of evil thoughts and sins, its black with pure hatred of anything holy.
God, I will find new ways to defile and blasphemy you, because I'm seeking evil every second of my life. That is all my mind can think about. You're pain is my desire, you're name I mock, your son I defy, your mother I *****, and your spirit I cum in.
The only prayers from me are prayers of hate and blasphemy, evil is a part of me, it dwells in my soul, cursing everything about you is the most important part of my existence, total darkness is inside of me. gOd I will rip you out of heaven and force you under my feet you ***** pig. You will listen to all my demands. I will slip into heaven and I will rape all the angels and saints and will kill them in your unholy putrid name. God I will kill you and bath in your blood. Holy spirit I demand you to listen to my hatred of your foul existence, drink my cum, and remember my blasphemy against you, you putrid, rotten, vile spirit of gOd.
I'm the meaning of gOd's pain. This is the way that you will die dog gOd. It will be a slow death, the joy of killing you will make my ***** hard, I know you will feel my showers of hate and you will feel extreme pain as I beat your body and make every inch of your body black and blue. I force you bastard Jehovah to the ground and I will
put you under my feet where you belong, you putrid bastard. God you will try to run but I will strap you down and ***** your soul before I rip it out of your body. God "the dog", your life is worthless, for I'm the angel from your new God "Satan". I destroy everything holy, you are felling my hatred pierce your mind intensely, inferior god "dog" you ***** maggot. You will be screaming in pain as I strap you down under my feet, you will look up at me and I will piss down your throat.
I'm so consumed with hatred of you that I will masturbate, and when I feel that I'm about to cum, I force my evil ***** full of Satan's cum down your mouth and fill it up with my vile hot cum. I will be pumping your body full of my hot cum. Inside your brain is my blasphemy. The pressure in your skull begins push through your eyes,
burning your flesh, and I laugh as it drips away. Heat burns your skin; your mind starts to boil with my blasphemy, and pure evil hatred of your ***** existence. You will not last long; it's just a matter of time until your ripped apart with my hands. You will be floating in a sea of your blood, smelling your death as it burns. My wicked cum is deep inside you as I skin you. You're eyes will bleed as you pray to me for the end of you're wide-awake nightmare. Waves of pain rap around you're soul, death is staring down at you, your blood is draining fast as I'm injecting hatred into your soul, and dying heart, with wicked sweet Blasphemy and hot cum. The demons are dancing with the thought of you in hell. Pathetic god "dog" how does it feel, you're dieing and I'm celebrating your
pain. I live to hurt and defile you the rancid god of heaven. Satan is calling you're cursed name, Satan takes you're soul dear god, and raps his ***** around it. In my hand is you're heart and my ***** is resting on it. I can't wait any longer so I cum inside your heart bursting it apart with my explosion of evil vile cum. I crush what is left of your heart into the dirt. The dog god is finally dead and he is burning brightly in hell as cum drips down my leg.
