In fact, this segues into another topic that is my list of "holy jihads", and that is that we (not us, per se, but the Internet industry at-large) is basically training the consumer legions to allow themselves to be exploited. Example number one: AJAX-enabled, "feature-rich Web 2.0" content websites, powered by JavaScript. Example number two: "Opt-out cookies". This one drives me nuts, because it is so brain-damaged. To accept the whole notion of "opt-out cookies" requires one to accept long-lived cookies in, and of, itself. A privacy nightmare. Of course, there are plenty of other examples, but you get my drift. Along these lines fall Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and other consumer tar-babies which are just ripe for the exploitation. I've said too much already... - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFJvzKtq1pz9mNUZTMRAqMoAKDVnfs5B389MnpftweCyZoPcKB5zQCg/To3 taVznJAqtN2etqMOLbBOgqU= =sMgl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
