DislikedWell...
Sure java is safe...if you trust the source. I've never had a problem with it, but I wouldn't run something blind. Trust your source! I've had WAY more problems with flash in the past...and I don't mean pR0n sites! Java has come on leaps and bounds...owned by Oracle now, too...solid company.
I run dedicated trading machines, though too. I don't even Forex Factory from my trading machines. When I post a chart...it has gone from a trading rig...onto an Apple Time Capsule...then posted from an "open" internet machine.
Sorry...blabbing....Ignored
Hope
