Hmm, if I Middel Click on the exploit, then it flashes some Javascript message and then I get a new tab, that ends up blank.
If I Left Click on the exploit, then I get a new set of menu bars that look real funny.
I suppose the solution is to always make it very clear to the user that some Script is executing, by putting a warning in the status bar, but this stupid thing overloads the status bar and the normal JavaScript controls in my FF are all unchecked, including the one that says "allow script to hide status bar", but it still hides it!
I have seen that before on other sites, that the Javascript controls in FF don't always work.
As others have mentioned, you can change the Javascript behaviour to ensure that all new windows will always retain their title and control bars. Consequently it is amtter of configuring your browser properly.
The FF team made an admirable effort to come up with a default configuration in prefs.js that mostly works and adding a few lines to it is a matter of concientious system administration.
My son told me he did a screen capture on the computer of his comp sci teacher, then installed it as a background and had the poor guy futz around for a long time trying to figure out why all his icons and taskbar is dead - we cannot honestly say that such an exploit is a bug in Windows now can we?
Well, photo calendars go back a long time. If anything, Pirelli can lay claim to photos with explicit geographic information organized by date and time...
Hmm, mandate that all TVs must ship with the V-chip turned on by default, so that only people that know how to program a TV will be able to hear the swear words?
Let it go through, then wait for the backlash. We need the pendulum to start swinging the other way, so why not help it a bit with some positive feedback?
"home PCs aren't spam-generators, they are spam relays."
Oh yeah? I had two internet accounts shut down today (clients of Telus and Hotmail) because the PCs of two Windows users were generating virus spam and one of my clients was an unfortunate receiver of a constant stream of viruses.
So yes, some PCs may be spam relays, but others are generators - after they became sick.
These two ISPs are very good at this - send them a friendly e-mail, asking to please shut a spammer down, with some proof attached and within an hour, the problem has gone away.
You add the interface IP address or network name to most of the rules to define which way the rule is working.
This is necessary to make masquerading work and to protect against specific attack types from the outside, or blocking telnet incoming, while allowing it outgoing etc.
Well, inconsistencies in the Holy Bible have never bothered theologians much - after all, they wrote it and know exactly what BS is in there.
The Bible is for the masses, it cramps the style of a good priest.
According to Voltaire, one of the techniques that were used by King Jame's scribes, to decide which books were kriva and which were apokriva, was to stack them pell mell on an altar and the ones that fell off were apokriva - god's will...
People have to view the Holy Bible in the context in which is was written. European Kings used their army's to subject their enemies and then sent in their Priests to scare the bejesus out of the peasants to keep them in line. All of that was changed by the advent of the electric light bulb. Moving shadows from a flickering candle just doesn't have much daemonic force anymore...

Oh yeah, and that is only the King James Bible. For good measure you should throw the rest of it in - all the dragons and stuff that King James had removed from it, would make a game way better...
It is interesting how many of modern children's TV stories are based on Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Hebrew/Persian/Norse religion and come to think about it, that is exactly what the Bible is - a huge honkin story book for the entertainment of the masses.
Or as Valadimir Illich said: "Religion is the opium of the masses".

Well, as a child, i was subjected to Christial torture and was forced to sit through many church services and Sunday school. I am baptized and confirmed - shudder...
Consequently, I reserve the right to comment and ridicule anything Christian to my heart's content.
I think many 'Christians' feel like this which would explain why real Christians feel that they are being ridiculed by everybody
Well, maybe one day you'll grow up, see what a sham religion is and get over it.

Exactly - this is Javascript issue. You can do something similar on any browser with Javascript windowing features wide open.
There are other configs on Sloshdat that force the windows to keep their title bars, which sorta works. Forcing popup to tabs would be better.

They want to censor TV even more?

Uhm, well, you gave the answer yourself - use Linux.
