knowing how well apple does embedded security, there's probably a vulnerability that'll allow bypass of that feature - it's just a matter of how long you want to invest in finding it.

I think this change makes the mistake that people with lots of karma are good contributors. I think it should be based on weighted karma/comment in addition to total karma. Imagine two users - one with 1500 karma & 1.1 karma/c

I don't think they added the blocking script to actually keep people out. Rather, it makes more sense for them to add it so that if someone does debug their site, it gives Netflix a legal precedent to press charges against them for hac
