What about the BLINK tag. Just as annoying as flash, carries just as much useful content as most flash but less resource intensive all around.
The BLINK tag wasn't universally supported. If my memory serves me correctly, BLINK was only supported on Netscape (or Netscape based, like Firefox...) browsers.
My home isn't completely secure. Get this - I have windows covered in GLASS for crying out loud... GLASS. Can you beleive that?! I don't know what I was thinking, but there you have it! I really haven't got a clue why the place isn't full of hobos and bums with naught but a lousy glass barrier being all that's keeping them out.
Your analogy is a bit lacking at best. Glass still provides some access control, albeit very minimal. How would this compare to open / no glass windows? Glass may allow the bums and hobos to look into your place, but unless they make an attempt to compromise it (i.e. break it), they can't access your stuff.
Or maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to locked down like fort knox before we can have a reasonable sense of security and privacy.
It all depends on your definition of "reasonable sense of security and privacy". One person can believe their account is secure because that person doesn't have the means to intercept or eavesdrop on their own communications. Another person may feel that since they don't 'own' the server, they have less privacy. Yet another person may feel that since email is sent in plain text, there is no privacy because everyone can read it.
I know my email could be read by my ISP, but I mostly trust them not to do it. And I would feel pretty angry and upset if I found out an employee was sitting their reading all my email for kicks.
No offense, but your ISP can do more than read your email... they can read every packet you send and rec'v on their network. They can even log this information. Your ISP can do anydamnthing they want because it is their servers and their TOS which you agreed to when you decided you wanted to use their service. Ok, so ideally they aren't reading your email, but it isn't logical to assume you have total privacy , doubly so since all TCP and UDP traffic is sent clear text.
If I had anything truly private that I didn't want to risk I would take it upon myself to secure it betterl but just because I didn't encrypt something that doesn't mean I expect or give permission to everyone on the planet to read it.
It doesn't matter if you give permission or not. If you send something in clear plain text, anyone can read it. This is a fact. IF you send it to a user on my server, I can read you mail because I have the authority to do so.
Ok, so Google's Gmail "reads" my emails. So what?!
1. Email is transmitted in plain text anyways... so anyone can read it. 2. My machine could be compromised. Someone could use a keylogger or other method to capture my keystrokes and read what would be my email. 3. I could run my own mail server and read my user's mail.
To combat 1 and 3, I could use PGP or GNUpg (or some other means, for that matter) and encrypt my mail. Privided that I distribute my keys via key server or some other non-mail related means, no one (ok, maybe the NSA...) except people I choose can read my sent email.

I wonder how long it will take before some disgruntled municipal worker will grind in some really annoying song, or even better... the Brown Note.

Well, at least we know they will know where to search for us!

Email isn't a secure medium. Get over it.

Not at all. I think it would be a hellova show, doubly so if the brown note is played at the same time too.
