You know, I can provide you with a whole bunch of links on the net about people being abducted by aliens and experimented on. Does that mean that I should take alien abductions as a fact of life? Or does it mean that a bunch of links from the net does not make a good argument in a discussion? Links on the Internet are usually provided for *reference* purposes of their contents --- they should be opened, examined, and their content judged critically, before proceeding in any (serious) discussion. Sheer existence and number of links itself proves nothing, and does not serve any good to a discussion. Just do a google-search on "proof of Riemann hypothesis" --- there are millions of links it provides, but not a single one of them contains the actual proof of the famous Riemann's problem. Several people have opened the links you provided, and figured that they refer to eight-year-old comments about javascript bugs from 1997 or so. Due to their age, these problems (and consequently the links themselves) are dismissed from the discussion as invalid --- because those problems are non-existent today. So my advice to you is to just drop the subject. If you don't trust javascript yourself, you are welcome to disable it or use no-script. But please don't try to convince the whole world that there is a major security hole in it, because there isn't, and people will start labelling you as a troll if you continue to pursue this beyond its realistic relevance.
