[John Harrold]

My boss sent the following to me yesterday and wondered how it affects us.

I must admit that there is so much stuff with java in the name (javascript,
jdk, jre, etc.), that I'm not really sure how this affects us. I believe
all of the machines have the gnu version of java installed (part of gcc).
Te article above said the third party stuff is ok. I'm not really sure
where to look to confirm this.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
