[svlug] Netscape 4.51, redux

[Deirdre Saoirse]

Imho on the greater abomination: anything requiring one to turn on a
security hole to use it is the greatest abomination. Thus, in some ways,
javascript appears worse than java.

The worst part is that I was hired to move my company AWAY from them and
what do I find I'm supposed to implement? Server-side javascript.

I might as well be doing front page. ::sigh::

Obviously, I *can't* choose to leave the settings off (as I have to test
both client-side java and javascript also); my netscape gets blown away
pretty regularly (in part because if you don't take all the steps to get
the server-side javascript app running right, it blows away the browser).
::grumble::
