Isnt this the EXACT same reason we are told not to use frames? I think the problem isn't AJAX and FRAMES, but that we all need to evolve past the "You are looking at a flat page" ideology. Maybe look at it from the point of view of 'bookmarks', 'back button', 'Printing', and 'Accessibility', were all there with the 1.0 browsers 12+ years ago. HTTP has evolved. HTML has evolved. The whole idea of what the web is has evolved. Why do we insist on keeping the webpage paradigm the same? It simply doesn't make sense.
You are oversimplifying it. This is a case of "Selling your soul to the devil". See, "the Devil" offers you ANYTHING you want. Right now. Anything. All you have to give him is your soul. You aren't using it. What real value does it have? Heaven is overrated... etc.
When faced with such a choice, being human, there is a DAMN good chance you will take that deal. The lure of the fantasy within your grasp can cloud anyones judgement. This is the same reason Credit Card companies are NOT allowed to offer $10k cards with 60% interest, compounded daily.
I think you are falling into, what I have termed as "The Jerry Springer Effect", in that, sure, it is easy to sit in the audience and tell the guests how stupid and nieve they are, but when YOU are the person on stage, you see it completely different.
I think the problem was that the google's software was being run in the "Local Zone", which is almost always highly trusted. The flaw was that a site on the Internet could manipulate the toolbar. Sort of like an XSS vulnerability.
Sure... hindsight is always 20/20, but you have to figure, most signed artists had no idea what they were getting into. They are hapless garage bands that some bastard feels they can exploit to make a bit of coin.
Sure, they SHOULD have known. But when someone is waving your dream in your face, it is hard to think logically.
While you and I would love to beat the skull of the programmers involved, I shamefully admit I was part of several projects in the same situation you just stated. The problem was, though, the same problem IT deals with everyday... it is a bad decision forced on by management. I remember one day getting REEEEEEEEEMED and practically fired because I "voiced concern" about such. Within the screaming and yelling was reasoning like "No one can get the password", "Even if they did, how would they know what to do with it?", "Nobody wants to remember another password", and my favorite "If you knew what you were doing, this wouldn't BE a security issue". You can't make this crap up. So like everyone else in the world, I did was I was told....
"I can't come up with anything else in the entire marketing world where marketers knowingly introduce a flawed or inadequate product [and] it helps grow your user base."
Think Sega dreamcast! Sure, it isn't software, but the flaw that shipped with it that allowed you to boot CD-rs was what sold most of those systems
What part of sex do you not think a person at 13 is ready for? Up until very recently in our social eveolution, people were going to war, getting married and having children at that age. Young people haven't become more stupid over time... if anything they are collectively more intelligent. The problem is, sir, is that you treat them as something less than a person.
What everyone REALLY wants to know is (several questions, but one answer can nail them all):
- Would you choose to be a Super Hero duo, or a pair of villains, which would you be?
- Would they be original characters, or someone/something that already exists?
- Would you wear tights?
- WHY?
I bought an X10 camera only days before I got my first pop-under ad from them. It was cheap, and what their camera was, it was exactally what I wanted. Too bad no one ever told me that the wireless camera REQUIRES AN AC ADAPTER FOR POWER. What a joke. And the quality was worse than the snaps I get on my $2.99 320x240 digital camera, with poor reception to boot.
And this is why Monkey's are ever so important in space travel. Imagine what would have happened if we could have sent Mojo Jojo or Steve Balmer in the craft... not only could our mission have been more successful, but they work for bananas!!!
Has anyone seen my crack pipe? I swear I put it right on top of my water bong
You DO realize that Dragon Ball ANYTHING is NOT cool? You know when you start explaining episodes to the hot girl you like... SHE DOESNT CARE!!! She most likely thinks you are mentally handicapped, so she tries to be nice and not hurt your feelings. Please, for the love of cherry toaster strudels, STOP THE MADNESS!
For instance.... Company X wants Feature Y in open source Product Z. Company X can pay someone for Feature Y. Most of the time, this is a developer already working on the project, the money just allows them to work on it exclusively. Then the code goes back into the project... at least on paper thats how it would work.

Anyway... the only golden rule I aknowledge is "He who has the gold, makes the rules"

If it was created only a week ago, I somehow doubt that google has spidered and indexed ~800k sites/pages containing such phrase, in that time period.
