:::::Having said that, there was a task a day or two back where I didn't understand the author's solution (written in Quackery) but I still managed to achieve the same output even though it later turned out that my understanding of the task was incorrect! --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 12:06, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
-- '''Sorry to say, childs, but dangerous-JPEG is an old urban legend.''' The https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2004-0200 was in 2004 and was caused by '''a bug in MS Windows''' (GDI+), not that it was JPEG. But I understand - '''some people's ass is on fire because they are afraid of exploits from 2004.''' I would advise you to drink a glass of water, switch from MS Windows 98 to MS Windows 11, install all updates and anti-virus program other than Kaspersky. And take the pills prescribed by your doctor regularly.▼
Likewise, Samantha virus was not a de facto JPEG file, it only pretended to be one. Which was only possible because a few of the less clever MS programmers thought they had a good idea of hiding the file extension from users.▼
'''In fact, every link - and even the image of the Rosseta stone displayed on the Rosseta Code website - could be ... oh yo oh ah - terrible and terrible CVE. Fear and terror, terror and hiccups. We should all be dead.'''▼

:::::: '''The real problem with jpegs is that they can contain obscene, shocking content.''' And when they are stored on an external, untrusted, server, they can be changed/replaced against our will. Instead of an example solution to a mathematical problem, there will be, for example, a fluffy puppy.
