"Well, this meets all the criteria for things I'm most terrified of: something I don't understand at all and refuse to learn more about."
Layna Torgerson,
Pest Control
"Thanks, but I'll pass. I kind of like how the Nigerians rearranged my desktop."
Greg Anderson,
Line Cook
"From what I gather, this patch works by plugging the remote code execution vulnerability in the VML, while a web page with VML when a rect tag is displayed in IE. Anyone who understands what this means has earned the right to attack my computer."
