  4. For proper nouns on Chemical Words List · · Score: 1

    If anyone wants to try names and other non-words, try the script I wrote for this purpose a few weeks ago. (And to think, I could have submitted it and made the front page!)

    These widgets apparently allow the developer to use any HTML or JavaScript they want. Couldn't they be used for cross-site scripting (XSS)?

    Has DeCSS been found on any chips?
