Fortunately, if there are virus's ever designed in js 99% of them will
effect MS Windows machines. Which is another reason I have put alot of time
and energy into Linux.
There are of course a couple of worms that can take down a Linux system, but
that number is a microscopic example of the 50,000 Windows worms, virus's,
and other system destroyers out there.
Unfortunately, js is here to stay as far as the academic world of CS is
concerned, and we have to be willing to use it or simply not use that site.
