On the server side, XML-based Web services are providing distributed application access through Web services interfaces and opening up new vulnerabilities in the process."

      Dammit! I always print out both Slashdot discussions and source articles for archive purposes. Now what?
      I believe the "Print Screen" button is reserved specially for such emergencies. You can scroll the source article and print out the screenshots. As a bonus, you'd preserve the browser culture of this glorious era.
