1. Comment - Microsoft to Remove Eolas Barrier in IE

   (Nov 9, 2007 - 10:34 AM)

   To PhoenixPath and deda, this is not a new thing for Microsoft / I.E.
   I.E will be reverting to the old behaviour.
   Automatic ActiveX activation was always the default until the Eolas dispute.
   
   It isn't particularly good for security, but it's not a new concept that hasn't already been exploited in the past.
   
   Paul, programmers can very easily work around the "Click to activate" problem. If they haven't, it's because they are lazy.
   Workarounds have been around since at least April 2006, possibly earlier.
   See http://blog.metawrap.com...ngPatentInPictures.aspx or http://www.google.com.au...mp;btnG=Search&meta=
   or go searching on microsoft.com for their solution.

2. Comment - MySpace Sued by Families of Assault Victims

   (Jan 18, 2007 - 8:16 PM)

   This is the only article i've seen on this issue, so I might have it all wrong.
   
   If I let my child catch a public bus unsupervised every day, and somebody on the bus built trust with my child over several weeks, then lured him/her to their house and molested my child, would I sue the state for allowing anonymous predators to get onboard and trick my child then molest him/her?
   
   No. I would blame the predator, myself for letting my child catch the bus unsupervised, and for not having the parental responsibility required to form a good relationship with my child, and for not going to this persons house with my child to make sure everything was decent and acceptable.
   
   I wouldn't be sueing the state for their "dangerous" bus service that allows anonymous people to catch the bus!
   
   Money grabbing people sue other people when they take no responsibility for the things they themself should be responsible for.
