Yes, I'm being intentionally facetious here. If there's a glaring security hole in a program, that's one thing. However, that's not the case with Java, that's not the case with Flash, and it's a bit ignorant to say that Java itself is a poor program because it is inherently unsafe.

Yah, generally the biggest security flaw are PEBKAC errors, though holes in Flash and unpatched browsers also dominate.
