   Yet another reason to use NoScript. ... why would I be down-voted for mentioning a solution which prevents 100% of JavaScript history attacks???

   I think if you do a simple calculation of how often you use the music compared to how often you use some of the other stuff you'll buy, you'll see $10 is a very reasonable number. Really, that was my whole point. The typical CD is used doze

   The club would have to be a huge, multi-billion dollar organization with a strong central leadership and lawyers to enforce the rules for distribution of the music. In other words, a...... ;)

    I agree with the other poster that said you underestimate the difficulty of distribution. Consider cases that may be closer to home: Which do people use more, Windows or Linux? Which one can you get from your computer supplier (let's not bo

    I have an encrypted file of my passwords, encrypted with a password of over a dozen characters, containing uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers. It has no meaning whatsoever, and I have no trouble remembering it. The author t

    If something would exist or not exist to exactly the same degree whether or not you were ever born, it's absurd to claim ownership of it.

    What we really need is a way for users to apply their own width limits and have all designs be fluid. In fact, I wonder why this isn't a common option in browsers. What if your text editor didn't let you resize the window because it thought
