Microsoft Helps Write Oklahoma's Anti-Spyware Law

groovy.ambuj writes "The Inquirer reports that Microsoft has developed Oklahoma's 'Computer Spyware protection Act'. The law will supposedly protect people from unwarranted hackers or virus attacks and can fine individuals up to $1M who are found guilty of breaking into a computer without the owners knowledge. At the same time, it also allows some of the better known capable companies to 'look' into your computer for possible virus/spyware and fix the problem without informing you. And, while these friends are doing their job, they can also take the moment to do other things. "

Select-Text Script -- Only in Vole-Land

I haven't seen this DRM before, though I am sure there are a lot of them around. I really like it though, since it appears to be another fine example of an application developed for IE. Firefox 1.5 doesn't appear to be hindered by it too much. It appears to block selection IFF you are selecting top down, but select text from the bottom and move up and it works like a charm (sometimes you had to click a few times).

Well done Dynamic Drive - another fine example of security through obscurity (no one uses Mozilla do they?)
