Late Saturday, Microsoft confirmed the existance of a new zero-day vulnerability that resides in all versions of Internet Explorer since IE6 has been spotted in the wild. The vulnerability, which could allow remote code execution, is being used in "limited, targeted attacks," according to an advisory issued by Microsoft. While all versions of the web browser, IE6 through 11, are affected by the vulnerability, attacks are currently targeting IE versions 9, 10 and 11, according to security firm Fire Eye, which first reported the flaw Friday.

    Because People Don't Talk Like That. Nor do they substitute commas for the word "and" in everday conversation, writing.

    It makes the text harder (slightly, I'll grant you, but still a bit) to read.

    The Other Site does, too.

    And if the Other Site told you to jump off a cliff? ;)

    It's a long-standing journalistic tradition, I assume to make it catch the eye more. And they title books that way, too (or at least, they should...there are a lot of titles that use a lowercase font these days). The intention isn't to be the same as the way people speak because it's just a single line.

    I'm kind of confused by your reasoning.

    SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE REALLY MAKES ME PUKE, YOU VACUOUS, COFFEE-NOSED, MALODEROUS PERVERT!!!

    I think people do talk like that. You just don't talk to the right people....

    How can the lameness filter block Monty Python? That's got to be the lamest lameness filter I've ever seen. Of course, it's like yelling. It's supposed to be yelling, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
