If no one WAS actually climbing on the pipe like the article states, why did they put a sign up? "It ain't broke..."

...I see what you did there. I still don't understand the appeal of those awful toolbars. They do nothing of consequence in my mind but sure do take up a lot of browser real estate. My girlfriend likes to run the google and yahoo toolbars together on her Vista machine*cringe*. Let me know when they come out with a toolbar with features worth giving up my browser space.

This is Slashdot. Right so far. We are mostly alternative OS users, i.e., Linux, *BSD, OSX, etc(sorry OS2 users). Right again. These articles are annoying in that they are so very broad. Its like the typical American-slashdotter who assumes the "Government" refers to the U.S. only in any context. This article presumes the user base is that of Windows users. Why not specify this is a ****OS NAME HERE***** issue? The article says this is a Windows XP SP3 issue. Great, that's nice to know, but I shouldn't be presented with an article that makes me think I need to go and update/remove Adobe from my Debian machine. Pure FUD. FUD' beyond belief! /rant

It's not like stamp collectors are saving up for a big letter-writing campaign...

That's what they want us to think....all the while, draining the stamp supply!

But seriously, I understand your point and I can respect that. I just wanted to know if it could actually do anything useful. If not, cool; he's got a pretty neat toy now and that's well worth it.
