If someone wants to avoid those, there is always Palladium, soon to be revealed by Microsoft. Original article here: http://www.msnbc.com/news/770511.asp?cp1=1 Reasoned response here (perhaps with an overtone of fanaticism): http://www.theregus.com/content/4/25340.html My point? Well being on the internet is more like driving an auto than like playing a video game. You do have an obligation to beware of the idiocy of others if you wish to remain accident-free. No amount of programming is likely to be a substitute for reasoning in the internet universe for the forseeable future. It is a much more complicated universe than chess.
