Maybe it's because I disable scripts by default. You'd be amazed to find that
some large Web sites practice (a supposedly benign) XSS that involved 5+

Googling 'tinyurl hack slashdot' and hitting the fig leaf coughs up (Ghost's
phrase) the following:

        TinyDisk, A File System on Someone Else's Web App

Get rich fast. Have a flame. Purchase your own Dell laptop burning kit. Now
half price at Asda's. The kit includes an envolope, an address book with
contact details for specialised-field lawyers, and some recommended text.
