I really dont want to get on the bad side of autismo. But is it actually possible to goto a website and have it play its own .exe in the browser?
If so, why hasnt everyone just made websites that wipe your hard drive and install africa on your pc? Why arent windows games held on websites?

I'm pretty sure hes wrong, but maybe I'm missing some key information.
>>
Why is it that utter retards like you can manage to get gainful employment and I'm stuck washing dishes for $8 an hour with a CS degree and a portfolio full of software used by tens of thousands of people?
>>
>>54503509
In older versions of IE you could have it auto run a bat file that it downloads and runs automatically when going to the page.

It's the most highly insecure shit tho.
>>
>>54503643
this

op can you do me and this anon a favor and commit suicide?
>>
>>54503656
But I assume that would be patched and not intentional.
>>
>>54503659
>>54503643
Not when I've got more than you two have with supposedly less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>
>>54503643
show me this supposed software
>>
>>54503668
Well yeah, it's patched in newer versions of IE. But you can use old versions of IE to exploit it.

Really though I don't see how this is an accomplishment. You can just download the executable on any browser and click to run it once downloaded.
>>
>>54503693
You have family in HR, right?
It's the only explanation i can think of.
>>
>>54503643
But if you want an actual answer my resume makes me looks tons better than what I probably am. Managed a charity for 6 years, Full comp science UIL in highschool, and I goto the same church as my boss.
Lots of people are complaining about CS being a hard market to get into but there are so many job opprotunities in central texas im not sure why.
>>
>>54503711
Funny enough, yea, but I dont think it had much to do with it compared to the other advantages.
>>
>>54503758
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha good luck getting a job anywhere else fuccboi
>>
>>54503708
ah well thanks, he was just full of shit after all. I thought I was missing some crazy microsoft edge feature or something. Itd be interesting to have microsoft combat flash and html5 though.
>>
>>54503787
>combat html5
>the very technology that is supposed to be running on the web in the first place

How retarded are you?

So all jealousy and hate mongering aside whats the deal with this? One of you must know something

(You) are a retard.

HTML5 applications and SWF applications, sorry if you couldnt understand what was implied :/
>>
>>54503711

Fuckin lol

>HTML5 applications and SWF applications, sorry if you couldnt understand what was implied :/

I got everything you implied you inbred cuck, you're just retarded.
>>
>>54503829
Im an innocent lurker kiddo but i thought thered be more to it than just "oh he might have done it on an old version of IE its possible"
>>
>>54503819
Someone already answered me, there is no such thing im not behind on any crazy feature, the guy was bullshitting me.
>>
IT guy is right to be worried. You were probably hired to replace him because you're younger and cheaper. Now he has to train you, and he feels insecure, so he's trying to make himself look good as a last ditch effort.
>>
>>54503858
No you're not, you're clearly OP or you're as retarded as him. >>>/v/
>>
>>54503876
lol you got me
idiot
>>
>>54503857
but if you got what I implied why did you refer combat html as a "I hope microsoft makes an html clone" instead of "I hope microsoft makes browser ran applications that can perform better than html5"
but never mind :4

Clean bait OP.

Looks like the other IT guy was probably right, fuck everyone here.
>>
>>54504084
that's literally the opposite, its running a web browser engine (Edge) in other programs, for easy imbedded use and such. Nothing strange there.

Now what he could possibly mean is some sort of virtualized program in a web browser, many companies like citrix offer solutions to do this from Software as a Service to even whole Operating Systems as a Service, all accessible through any modern web browser.
>>
>>54504124
embedded rather, scuse my mental hiccup there
>>
>>54503643
I'm assuming you just don't want to move, I don't see why you couldn't get a job with google/amazon if your statements are true and use that vetting as a launch pad for the remainder of your career. There are plenty of people who are afforded great opportunities out of college with less accomplishments than in production software.
>>
>>54503643
if you're really so great, freelance
>>
None of you retards have heard of ActiveX? It launches exes from IE...
>>
>>54504208
Well the IT guy said it was through a vanilla browser.
>>
>>54503643
because it is a made up story you dingus
>>
>>54503643
I have a chemical engineering degree and replenish merchandise in a fulfillment center for $10/hr (i.e. professional box opener).

I think we,
-Suck at marketing ourselves
-Suck at sealing the deal in interviews
-Don't live in the right area
-Don't have enough connections
-Wasted our time in school (this is me to be honest)
>>
>>54503509
if he just said "executables", then yes, you can
javascript, actionscript, and java are common

".exe" isn't the only kind of executable program
>>
>>54504251
my error, I mean .exe strictly.
>>
>>54503643
If you're a US Citizen and have a CS degree email your resume the email listed here http://pastebin.com/2BKFmkkR
>>
A malicious website can make you download an executable and run it on your computer. You should report him to your boss for being a hacker so you can steal his job.
>>
>>54503643
It's kinda unbelievable. Could you elaborate? What kind of things do you program? Are your contributions central to these projects used by thousands? What languages do you know?
>>
>>54504223
I thought even older ie have activex by default albeit older version ?
>>
>>54504308
pretty much just activex (rather dead, and IE-only) and browser exploits, then
>>
