Well, when it lists the site as having performed drive-by installation WITHOUT having to prompt or notify the user, that's pretty much the end of it for me. Given the report itself, it's probably malware that got in via their advertiser. But that's still no excuse. I don't care HOW good the content is if I'm risking my machine to view it. That said, I actually read a bit of it via lynx; I don't think the code I listed violates strict aliasing. It creates a pointer of the same type to a piece of memory; it only creates one of a different type as an intermediary step, and doesn't store it. -- Daniel
