How’s this for unnecessary [faux] luxury: Royal Caribbean’s “Oasis of the Seas” will be the largest ship to every float on water, coming in at 1,180 feet long and weighing a cool 220,000 tons. All that, just to parade around 5,400 n’er-do-wells.

Second, we reported the exploit as a Firefox 3 issue, but the exploit affects Firefox versions 2.x and 3.0, so it’s not strictly a Firefox 3 issue.
