Has Google Broken JavaScript Spam Munging?
Baxil writes "For years now, Javascript munging has been a useful tool to share email addresses on the Web without exposing them to spammers. However, Google is now apparently evaluating Javascript when assembling summary text for web pages' listings, and publishing the un-munged email addresses to the world; and spammers have started to take advantage of this kind service." Anyone else seen this affecting their carefully protected email addresses?
Everyone has their supporters. The "Impossible to do anything right" club is for those that are lambasted by the popular mainstream media, regardless of which action they take. "Mainstream" media excludes overtly biased sources such as Fox and what not.
Clinton was in the "Impossible to do anything wrong" club, hence his general association with Teflon. Even during the sex scandal, the general consensus was "who cares, there are more important issues."
Obama was in the ITDAW for a bit, but the financial crisis has made him everybody's enemy it seems. If this keeps up, he may be accepted into the ITDAR, but I think it's unlikely that the media can stay mad at him for that long.
Alternately, it could be the general perception of Slashdot (and not the mainstream media) that determines it, which means that, due to Slashdot's strong lean to the left, ITDAR is perpetually reserved for big corporations/conservative pundits. Even Slashdot darlings like Google eventually end up there. Sun and Apple will join soon, I suspect.
Oh, was that my outside voice?
