It runs on your machine doesn't it? The interpreter does whatever its
implementer allows. I don't trust the implementers, so I don't run
javascript.
I know they claim its safer than java, but that's never been much comfort
to me.

Well, if you don't trust the implementers you better not use HTML, either.
There was that bug in IE4 that allowed a certain type of malformed tag to be
used to replace arbitrary files on your system.

I don't use IE. I don't much trust M$ to do *anything* right. ;)

The web must suck for you, since so much of it uses javascript. It's a
perfectly secure language unless Microsoft has fucked it up on the Ie platform
(not entirely out of the question)

Nah, I don't miss it it all. I either find a different way to get the
information (sometimes from the site), or I skip it. So far, I've found
nothing I just could not live without.
Ya see, I think of the web as an information-delivery vehicle: It's sole
reason (and excuse) for existence is to deliver information to me. If a
particular site fails to accomplish that goal, that's fine; someone else
will have the same information.

Occasionally I find a bit of content that requires javascript that I actually
want to see, and I turn it on then. Usually, though, javascript exists for
the sole purpose of pissing me off. Which is something I can easily live
without.

Re #161 - I have a Scottish persona, therefore my outfit will be very warm,

Apparently on Thursday 11/30, the Michigan Senate unanimously passed Senate
Bill 1116, which amends the Michigan Penal code having to do with prostitution
and adult entertainment. It includes the following text, from new section
465a(3):
"A person shall not knowingly appear in an adult entertainment establishment
in a nude or semi-nude condition unless the person is 21 years of age or older
and at least 6 feet from any patron or customer."
The bill goes to the House now, I gather, but I don't imagine its reception
there will differ from the Senate much.
No more lap dances. No more college girls stripping to make ends meet.
I'll probably post something longer about this in the sex conf.

re #167: You'd be surprised at the number of benefits there are to
turning off Javascript. I leave it off 90% of the time and when I
turn it on to look at something and then forget to turn it off again
I'm amazed when I visit the sites I normally frequent -- all those
distracting pop-up windows, all of the weird mouseover shit that doesn't
serve any purpose except to distract, etc.. -- all gone when you turn
of Javascript. Yet 98% of the content is still perfectly accessible..

(I suspect that wording exempts anyone who might be gang-raped in a bar.)

Well, you never know how far away the patron on the other side of the
wall you're rubbing your bare bottom up against might be...

An excellent point, although it could be argued that in such a case, the wall
was considered "clothing".

Apparently, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been having those typical meetings
of a near-contender in any sport. "What can we add to our team to put it over
the top? Who can we put on the ice?" The owner, no less than one Mario
Lemieux, is apparently ready to do it himself.

I know!! This is why I logged in - I want to shout it from the rooftops!!
I mean, I think Jagr is a pain in the ass and dont' get me started on Matthew
Barnaby - but Lemieux is the business.

Aargh...our performance time has been bumped up to two p.m. with an estimated
ending time of three-thirty p.m. We'll be in the Engineering Arch, but we
may wander over to Nichols (Nickels?) Arcade.

CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT: 28th Annual Ragtime Bash is this Sunday,
December 10, 7:30 pm, at the First Unitarian Universalist Church,

pianists Mark "Mr. B" Braun and Bob Seely; ragtime pianists

jazz pianist James Dapogny with vocalist Susan Chastain.
I've heard them all before and they're all great.

ARRIVE EARLY -- 45 minutes to an hour in advance for best
