Subject: Re: OT - Is Java/Java Scripts a Security Risk?
A little bit of trivia here : The name similarities between Java and
JavaScript are purely a result of marketing, not anything to do with the
underlying technologies. Netscape originally called their scripting
language LiveScript, and changed it to JavaScript after making some deal
with Sun. This was back in the day when applets were going to rule the
web, and they wanted it to sound like one coherent... Instead its been
confusing people for about 10 years.
