But no, they don't complain. Without script a website has very
little option to interact or change things. They can use ASP or
PHP to check some things when you ask for the page, such as
check your browser in order to customize the page. But most
"intelligence" requires script. Webpages were never intended to be
interactive. They were designed to be static, graphical
presentations. Then if a page needed to update they'd use
cookies or a session ID. That was the point of cookies -- to
carry information from one webpage to the next, like when you
select an item to buy and then want to check out.

CSS can provide some limited interaction by providing things
like a hover event, which allows a website to make flyout
menus without needing script. But aside from that, a page
with just HTML and CSS is static. That's why javascript is the
source of virtually all security problems. HTML is not executable.
It's only a graphical description language.

and they're interested in other people.

To my mind, much of the problem comes down to two
things: 1) The ability to store, organize and analyze data
and 2) beancounters. There are people who just think we
should measure everything we can. But now that it's so
systematic it becomes a threat. For instance, it was always
possible to go to City Hall and find out the ages, names,
professions of your neighbors. But it was data stored on
paper in file drawers. Now it can be easily collected and
analyzed.

If companies know where you are, the drugs you take,
the food you eat, the things you buy, the music you listen
to, the vacation spots you go to (it came out recently
that AirBnB is one of numerous companies making a side
income by selling every bit of data about their customers)
then it's hard to even imagine what all the risks might be --
from gov't, from corporations, from thieves who hack to
get that data, etc.

There was an article in the NYT recently about the rise
of data companies whose only business is to buy and sell
personal data:

Crazy stuff. Google/Apple/Facebook are the most obvious,

constantly growing.

True. But I don't buy that much. And usually I want to see
before I buy. And if I go to the store I don't have to wait.
Then there are the ethical factors: I'm supporting local
businesses, I'm thwarting spying by buying local with cash,
and I'm not causing the use of 2 cardboard boxes and a sheet

none of those three are mentioned anywhere in that article, other than

google and facebook do collect and monetize user data, however, apple
does not and takes numerous steps to *prevent* it being collected and
tracked by them *and* others.

The thing that annoys me most about html is allowing a page to open a new window/tab. That should never ever have been put into the coding. When I'm using a page, I want it to stay in that tab/window. Other pages are in other tabs, leave that one in its own one!

True. But I don't buy that much. And usually I want to see

Trouble is, how many different drills does the store have? I can go to Ebay and have a choice of 3000 of them, and quickly sort by price, make, features, etc.

Then there are the ethical factors: I'm supporting local
businesses,

Why on earth would you want to do that? I'm also supporting local businesses, and often much smaller ones. You're buying from Home Depot, a large company. I'm buying from a small mail order company with about a 100th of the revenue. It might not be local to me, but it's local to somebody.

I'm thwarting spying by buying local with cash,

I can't be bothered with cash, I always use a card. Too much hassle carrying change about, especially when I forget to close th coin zip on my wallet and get into the car and find I've lost about £5 of coins under the car seat, which everyone knows means they're gone for good. I read about somebody who managed to remove his car seat and obtain about $350 of coins and various other items. Jesus Christ, can't car designers simply put a barrier to stop stuff falling down there?

and I'm not causing the use of 2 cardboard boxes and a sheet
of bubble wrap every time I buy something.

And I'm not wasting petrol and parking spaces. Anyway, those boxes are reused or recycled.

You're dreaming on that score. Very little gets recycled. In the
US we used to send paper and cardboard to China, but they
don't want it anymore. Very few plastic bottles actually get
recycled. The whole thing is a sham. Nearly everything is going
to landfills. We're all screaming about global warming while
we drink out of 8 oz plastic, disposable water bottles, in our
SUVs, on our way to buy takeout dinner. Then we help save
the planet by getting a vegetarian meal, made
from soybeans grown with glyphosate by Monsanto farmers
in the Amazon who are stripping rainforest every two years
because the Amazom area has little topsoil and thus can't
easily support farming. Recycling is just a massive excuse for
not thinking about what we're doing. Our lifestyles are more
destructive and less sustainable than ever. Nearly everything
now is disposable.

I installed a plugin for Opera (you keep calling it Chrome for some reason - it is based on Chrome, but it isn't Chrome). It blocks all openings of new tabs or windows. Instead I get a small dialog box top right of the screen. I can say yes, no, never, or always. The last two make that decision permanent for that website.

Trouble is, how many different drills does the store have? I can go to Ebay

Your quoting sux, that was written by me, so should have more s.

I don't know. I use one drill for work. I don't run
a drill museum.

You need a choice of more than 5 to buy 1. Or you get ****. Or pay too much. My local store has about 5, ranging from a **** one for £50 to a good one for £150. I got one on Ebay that does what I need for £18, including postage.

But he's stopping at 50 customers. Each customer only contributes about a quarter mile of gas.

Well my council collects the recyclables separately. They wouldn't bother if they didn't benefit form doing so. I personally don't give a **** where it goes - if it's uneconomical to recycle, they shouldn't be doing it anyway - why use up loads of energy and water to clean and transform stuff when it uses less resources to create new ones?

from my original handle, which, if you want to get real technical, is
older than my online history.

else that's not so.. umm, on the bright side of life can figure out
the same individuals or group of individuals are more than likely, in
some cases, outright 100%, responsible for both.

Unlike yourself though, I didn't change anything to evade filters.
Nobody is forced to read any of the posts i've written in the past or
will write in the future. Filter me, ignore me, that's always been
the readers choice. I've got the same options available when I read
usenet.

My point was that you've used a considerable amount of nyms on usenet
for the specific purpose of evading filters and keeping what you
consider opinions that wind people up going and going.

By comparison, you've been harmless. I can't state the same for me.

So, I already know
that you intentionally post stupid **** to get a rise out of
people.

No, I just have opinions that happen to wind people up.

Ok.

Your driving around using no brakes to improve fuel efficiency
thread was a ****ing riot.

I don't remember saying exactly that, but I have driven around
with no functional brakes at all. Gears and a handbrake suffice
if you're careful!

You're writing to an American who's first vehicle was a 5speed
stick shift - a handme down in .. drivable condition, but not much
else. It's brakes went out on me once, I can relate to using gears
and the ebrake (it wasn't called a parking brake yet. lol) to get it
safely stopped and off the road.

I used the gearbox to roll start the ****er for one reason or
another, many times, too. heheh.

I still prefer a stickshift, but most of my automotive friends claim
the automatic is just better. My background isn't automtive, most of
there's is, so I'm not going to argue; I've got nothing either way,
just my own personal opinion based on my own experiences owning and
driving both.

Atleast with the stick, battery goes down, I can still get it to
start - most of the time; too weak to fire my starter doesn't mean
it's too weak to run the ignition for a few seconds (until the engine
fires and the alternator takes over for me) if I can get the engine
turning for it! A stick won't leave me stuck if the starter pukes on
me either. I've been told you can do this with an automatic too, but,
if I could push the ****er upto the required mph to do it, I wouldn't
need to be pushing it in the first place. G

I'd be making whatever repairs are necessary to the main brake system
as soon as possible though. The ebrake isn't really meant for umm,
long term use in that manner. it's going to be more costly to repair
when you wear it out than a brake job for the front and back of your
car, in most cases.

I've had to have the ebrake's redone on two of my rides, so far. One
wasn't my fault. lol. It was a bit more expensive parts wise (for the
rides I had, anyway) than it would have been to do a normal brake job
on the entire truck. Don't let other people borrow your vehicle to do
things if they aren't familiar with it. Especially family members.

Emergencies and keeping it still while parked in gear on a slant are
it's primary job; not being the goto stopping device for the car.

So, why were you working with the original copy you had, and what

Oh yes there is. The explosive might affect 20 people. The virus could affect a million.

Granted, I've used a few myself through my online history (prior to

from my original handle, which, if you want to get real technical, is
older than my online history.

At the time, I wasn't too interested in anyone who might know me,

else that's not so.. umm, on the bright side of life can figure out
the same individuals or group of individuals are more than likely, in
some cases, outright 100%, responsible for both.

Unlike yourself though, I didn't change anything to evade filters.
Nobody is forced to read any of the posts i've written in the past or
will write in the future. Filter me, ignore me, that's always been
the readers choice. I've got the same options available when I read
usenet.

My point was that you've used a considerable amount of nyms on usenet
for the specific purpose of evading filters and keeping what you
consider opinions that wind people up going and going.

I only change nym for two reasons:

1) I felt like it.
2) Someone not only filtered me, but wrote a huge essay as to why they were doing so, then prevented me from replying, which is very childish. So I change nym so they can't get the last word. Just as if I get banned from a forum, I make a fake account to reply one last time. And I've been banned for the stupidest of reasons, like saying "damn", which is apparently a swearword in certain backward religious parts of America.

By comparison, you've been harmless. I can't state the same for me.

We know you're not harmless....

So, I already know
that you intentionally post stupid **** to get a rise out of
people.

No, I just have opinions that happen to wind people up.

Ok.

Your driving around using no brakes to improve fuel efficiency
thread was a ****ing riot.

I don't remember saying exactly that, but I have driven around
with no functional brakes at all. Gears and a handbrake suffice
if you're careful!

You're writing to an American who's first vehicle was a 5speed
stick shift

In the UK we're plagued by stickshifts. The Brits are too ****ing stupid to realise autos are way better. I wonder how many accidents could be avoided at junctions by ****ty drivers who lose concentration on steering and watching for traffic because they're also changing gear? Or like my Aunt did recently, stall the car in the middle of a junction and have a bus collide with it.

- a handme down in .. drivable condition, but not much
else. It's brakes went out on me once, I can relate to using gears
and the ebrake (it wasn't called a parking brake yet. lol) to get it
safely stopped and off the road.

My Golf auto was great for slowing down without brakes. Select 1st gear and it would drop gears as soon as sensibly possible. My 3.5 litre V8 Range Rover, not so much. It was a mechanical auto box. But it was fun for wheelspins. Select N, rev fully, select D. 4 wheel wheelspin, much noise. Probably didn't do the transmission much good, but it got pedestrians out of the way.

I used the gearbox to roll start the ****er for one reason or
another, many times, too. heheh.

I've only done that once, in my current car, when the starter died. I got the first able-bodied person I found to push it along until I got to 20mph. Otherwise I just use the spare battery I keep in the back at all times, along with spare wheel, oil, water, etc.

I still prefer a stickshift, but most of my automotive friends claim
the automatic is just better. My background isn't automtive, most of
there's is, so I'm not going to argue; I've got nothing either way,
just my own personal opinion based on my own experiences owning and
driving both.

Why have a car that requires you to do more to use it? There is always a perfect gear to be in at a certain time. A computer or mechanical devices can do that just as well as you can.

Atleast with the stick, battery goes down, I can still get it to
start - most of the time; too weak to fire my starter doesn't mean
it's too weak to run the ignition for a few seconds (until the engine
fires and the alternator takes over for me) if I can get the engine
turning for it! A stick won't leave me stuck if the starter pukes on
me either. I've been told you can do this with an automatic too, but,
if I could push the ****er upto the required mph to do it, I wouldn't
need to be pushing it in the first place. G

Not sure why autos would be any more difficult to push start. But unless the starter is ****ed (very rare - and you usually know for a while beforehand that it's getting weaker), just use a spare battery or connect it to someone else's car to start it normally.

I'd be making whatever repairs are necessary to the main brake system
as soon as possible though. The ebrake isn't really meant for umm,
long term use in that manner. it's going to be more costly to repair
when you wear it out than a brake job for the front and back of your
car, in most cases.

I take it "ebrake" means electric handbrake? I've never had one, just the regular handbrakes that are **** in every way. Once a year at the annual safety test it gets fixed, then 2 weeks later, the flimsy cable stretches or something and it no longer works. People always ask me "how do you do a hill start without it?" Uh.... with the footbrake? I'm not a learner driver.

I've had to have the ebrake's redone on two of my rides, so far. One
wasn't my fault. lol. It was a bit more expensive parts wise (for the
rides I had, anyway) than it would have been to do a normal brake job
on the entire truck. Don't let other people borrow your vehicle to do
things if they aren't familiar with it. Especially family members.

Aren't familiar? Surely anyone who can drive can drive any car?

Emergencies and keeping it still while parked in gear on a slant are
it's primary job; not being the goto stopping device for the car.

I only ever use mine if on a very steep hill, otherwise the gear holds it. And in an auto, the P setting holds it on any incline anyway, so I don't know why they have handbrakes at all.

You said you use Opera, right? Which is now Chrome.
Here are 0-day risks from just last week:

https://www.securitynewspaper.com/20...n-as-possible/

The point with 0-day is that it means unknown vulnerabilities.

What exactly is zero day? I looked up the definition here, and surely all viruses are zero day? Why would you document your virus before releasing it?
https://www.techopedia.com/definitio...zero-day-virus

Many attacks now are 0-day. Keeping your browser updated
doesn't solve the problem.

Remember awhile back MS came out with a path for XP
because there was such a serious problem? EternalBlue,
WannaCry, WannaCrypt and various other names. That one's
actually a bug that requires remote desktop service enabled.
But most people don't know enough to disable that. Or they
may even use it.

I remember back in the days of Windows 2000. I worked in a University which had an open un-firewalled internet connection. If you set up a brand new computer and installed Windows 2000 on it from scratch, it would get a virus within 2 minutes, before you had a chance to install the service pack. I had to get a hold of an offline service pack to install before plugging in the network cable.

The interesting thing was that the bug was developed by
the NSA.

I'm not surprised.

This stuff has become big business and big gov't. A company
in Israel claims to be able to hack any iPhone... for a price.
The NSA comes up with 0-days so that they can't be blocked
from surveillance. Those hacks then get stolen or perhap sold.
Any clever person from anywhere in the world can potentially
make a fortune through stealing credentials, ransomware
attacks, banking trojans, cryptomining in webpages, and so on.
They just need a 0-day hack. And they can rent them!

We'd be better off with no government at all. Our current lot are more akin to the Mafia.

The more you use online functionality and commerce, the more
you're at risk. Using MS Office increases your risk.

I don't have that set to go online, for er.... some reason.

Using methods
to access your desktop remotely increases the risk. Skype and
similar tools increase the risk. Anything that allows remote
functionality means you're running executable code -- software --
over the Internet. That can never be made entirely safe.

I do that, but on my own network, I can't access them from outside my property.

Combine
that with things like online banking and you compound the problem.
Since I don't shop online or bank, there's no banking or credit data
on my computer. With the way you operate, your data is spread
among numerous websites and a vulnerability can allow it to be
intercepted.

Probably, but it's the bank's problem.

In the context of the browser, nearly all of that requires script
enabled. Without executable code it's very hard to attack you.
Script was never even intended for this usage. Microsoft started
it by allowing script to run software and ActiveX controls. (Which
are software.) That made IE powerful.

Nobody has ever said IE was better than any other browser. It's always been a piece of ****, and it's always been full of security holes. It's what you use to download the real browser on a new computer.

That allowed MS to get a monopoly with IE.

What was the point in that, since it's free?

That made script executable code. In the heyday
there were ActiveX controls,
Java, Flash.... But then security became an issue and all of that
turned out to be a disaster. Now we're like drug addicts. We've
gotten used to all that functionality and no one wants to admit
that it's a security nightmare. So we just pretend that it isn't.

Much of it is invisible. Recently it was found that Uber's website
was hacked awhile back and personal data stolen. Uber didn't
call the police. They paid the hackers $100K and got them to sign
NDAs!

https://thehackernews.com/2017/11/ub...ta-breach.html

No one is looking out for you. There's too much money on the
table for that. So you take a risk every time you enable script.
You risk more if you don't at least limit it to direct connections
with specific websites.

Think of it like driving down a narrow country road with your balls
out the window. You might be fine, for 1 mile, 10 miles, even 100
miles, but you've put yourself at risk. Hey, is that a branch sticking
out up ahead? Whack! Happy banking.

Yeah but if for some reason I required my balls to be out of the window for cooling etc, then I'd just have to take the risk.

Agreed. The simplest way to block them is to cover them up, yet
adblockers do stupid things like not downloading the ad at all.
I don't give a **** if a bit of my unlimited bandwidth is used
up, but I do care if the website can see I haven't downloaded the
ad, then prevents the whole page from loading. Adblockers just
aren't doing their job properly.

Actually, some of the them are downloaded to find out if they match
a filter. Then, some of us do want them not downloaded, not only
not displayed, because we may have limited bandwidth or this is
metered. That is my case this instant, as I have the laptop
tethered to my moble phone.

You are in the minority, most people are on fast connections
nowadays.

Maybe. I have a fast and unlimited connection when I'm home, but not
when I'm moving around. People that live in the country, not in a city,
may not have access to a fast or unlimited connection - even on the USA
there are many such people. Some even today have to use a modem!

I remember in the late 90s, my American friends boasted about fast internet (mainly New Yorkers), while in the UK we all had modems. Nowadays the UK seems to have rushed ahead and got almost everyone fibre internet. But the USA has stood still.

Another reason is that once they are downloaded, they do things
like run scripts to detect your actions, and that is worse than
having the add displayed. Or simply they run code to display the
actual add.

They can't detect an action if it's not there to be clicked on.

No, that is not entirely true. They can try to read the cookies present.
