Once again, flaws in Java are creating big holes that hackers exploit to victimize users and, even worse, sabotage or spy on many of the computers that run key business processes at utilities, banks, hospitals, and government agencies. Enough already. Wake up and smell the coffee: Client-side Java needs to go, and fast. Even if the current bugs can be fixed, there will be more. Oh, the irony that an antimalware app requires the use of one of the biggest malware conduits to function!

I'm not sure this author knows anything about software, how is an OS supposed to stop Java from running? It's just a program like any other. It would be especially hard with Java, because I could, in theory, implement a JVM in another language like C# or Python, are they supposed to somehow recognize every possible implementation of the JVM that could ever exist? It just isn't feasible...

It was originally published to InfoWorld. I'm certain the author doesn't; and wouldn't be surprised if he has to hire someone to turn his computer on for him. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
