Yet another large scale scare story for the man in the street to worry about.
In case anybody's interested in a simple explaination:
* Yes, it is fairly easy for those with bad intent to use this to steal your information as it flows over the internet
* Yes, it is remarkably easy for website owners to fix. Any that haven't in 48 hours or so are being lazy
* It requires both the user to use an affected browser, AND the website to run affected SSL code, so if you fix your end, you won't be affected whichever sites you visit, (UNLESS the server has been compromised in another way too, but that is out of your control - ask the company running it. If they don't know, or don't care to tell you, draw your own conclusions)
* The affected browsers are basically the one built in to Android phones, and Safari
* Companies smart enough to run their servers on the latest OpenBSD would not be affected - well done those who choose this path

Oh, so @Cleoriff is a man ? Wow, I never knew.
Mind you, until @jonsie changed her profile picture, I didn't realise she was a
womanlady, (see, I'm remembering your advice, Gerry :smileywink:).Jonsie is a man..... (Well if I remember correctly)
strange, they have no problem with my gender in Thailand....none of them
XX^XY? Now I am completely confused.
I'm not too sure myself now.....must ask Mauy what she thinks

I really am a pair of binnoculars, by the way, that's not just an avatar.
Mind you as a teenager with long hair, I was mistaken for a woman a few times. Caused a lot of embarrasement once for a jealous young lady who only saw me from behind and made a bitchy remark about my hairsticks almost poking her eye out when I turned my head, (liar, she was at least a metre behind me and well out of the danger zone). When I turned to look at her and said that I was sorry, she suddenly became all, "Oh, it's OK, I was only joking, blah, blah", never expecting me to be a guy.

But "guy" is now an inclusive or indeterminate term - I know that is true because our Community Co-Ordinators frequently start their messages with a hearty "Hi guys!" and I'm sure they mean to address everyone So with that in mind and your declared interest in nail polish we'll add 2 and 2 and get........@Anonymous?

Oh have no doubt, I for one am a normal man, and pleased to be so! 
As for work - what's that? Is that how I earn money or something?
