It looks like the only browser immune to this is Opera.
"Though little-used, the tricky URL form is a recognised Internet standard as documented in various RFC documents. For this reason the developers of other browsers, like Mozilla, don't feel they can simply get rid of it. Instead, the Mozilla developers and a horde of kibitzers have spent almost a year and 156 comments discussing what can be done. Right now that effort has got precisely nowhere and Mozilla users are almost as vulnerable as Internet Exploder users to being hoaxed in this way."
The way my company gets around this is when I have training, the company pays for it. But if I leave within 6 months of having the training I pay a portion of the cost: all the price if I leave immediately, 5/6 if I leave 1 month after the training, 4/6 after 2 months, etc.
This way they get value for their money, and I get to leave if I want, but I have to pay my dues!

I bought one about a month ago and I'm very impressed. And at $US25 - well.
I always keep my watch set 5 mins before anyone else to beat everyone else ;-)
Even better on the site is a flash version of the original HHGTTG text adventure game...

I don't know if this is true in the UK though.
