Ok folks... the instructions sucked but it is reproducable... now, how many ways can bad things be done using this exploit and how long until Firefox is patched?
I agree. Giving these things silly names is only promoting the problem. We have people in congress and politians making legistlature who don't understand the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet. Are we still thinking in terms of Cyberspace? What the hell is Cyberspace? It sounds like a place to have Cybersex? So, Cyberspace must be in an IRC chat room, a lot less cool than it sounds really.
If the Department of Homeland Security can't even use correct terminology how are they going to secure anything.
Its not even a hard word to say, its 2 words you already know joined together, and the two words still mean the same thing... "Internetwork"!
Dood, they should just take that ifbot and turn it into a kind of KIT/Gundam mobile suit for old and handicapped folks... a robot you ride in and have a conversation with... and I am sure the ifbot would love to remind old people what they just did... it already has a built in camera...
Come spend the night in downtown San Francisco and then tell me about human rights... These people don't care about their human rights, and they certaintly don't care about yours or mine... we spend millions and million of dollars trying to help the homeless by feeding them and giving them health services... asking them to be tagged and traced is only a way to try and get a higher return on the money we are spending...
They will not be forcing the tags on homeless people(just as we can not force them to get off our doorsteps and street corners), but it will be part of the programs they are taking atvantage of that are free... if you want 3 free meals a day, free drug and alcohal consoultation, free HIV testing, free health services, free employment services, free educational services, please let us put this tag on you so we can come find you when you are passed out in the alley after being drug benge for a week chain smoking your crack pipe!!! The crack only cost him 10 bucks, the Chip may cost 50 buck to make and install, the money he threw away on the services we rendered to him for free in attempt to save his life would be thousands of dollars!
Why not be more aggresive about preventing homeless people from throwing them sleves back into the endless cycle of poverty? As far as I am concerned a homeless person who chooses to live on the streets or is mentally incapable of doing anything about has no rights... he is then property of the state and it is the resposibility of the state and community to do whatever it can to get that person help.
Tracking them and preventing them from activities that are keeping them where they are is hardly taking away there human rights... more like trying to put them in a position where they might even be aware that they have any human rights.

people who say "CW carrier" are probably the same people who say "NIC card", yes it's redundant.
