    one would think you could right click and "run as user..." on an application like say the installer for the new version of Quicken...
    Um, you can? I just right clicked on a random .exe and there was a Run As... menu option which gave me this dialog.

    It's fake. Here's a screenshot of a hex editor looking at one of the pieces.

    OTH, FF has a "build in" security design that offers a much robust approach to protect the user from Internet's risks


    FF's security system is useless as long as it auto-executes anything - including "harmless" Javascript.

    As an example, I'll point to a poorly written redirect script - early versions of Netscape/IE would load the new site as if it were a redirect, but the back button would no longer function as expected since the script would execute immediatly.

    Mozilla's approach to security seems to be identical to Microsoft Windows 9x: Everything (include FBI tracking) can be done until the browser is locked down. The correct approach is used in the style of Novell Netware - nothing is available unless permission is granted (and it shouldn't be explicit pop-ups asking for permission either - a simple icon in the status bar that shows what needs to execute will suffice).

    JonKatz sues Slashdot for AC postings
    Posted by LocalH on 07:50 AM March 27th, 2000
    from the why-the-hell-is-this-happening dept.

    Former geek icon-wannabe JonKatz is suing Slashdot for allegedly defaming him through AC postings. When asked for comment, he replied simply, "I'll get those bastards...I'll get them good...". Several ACs were also asked for comment. Their response was one of the following:
    • "Natalie Portman naked and petrified!"
    • "First post!"
    • "Second post!"
    • "Pour hot grits down my pants!"
    • "Natalie Portman naked and petrified pouring hot grits down my pants while I'm getting first post!"
    (Moderators: mod this down if you really, really feel you must...)
