Actually, with the LSOs, and the clearing tool at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_ manager07.html , the loss of LSO cookies seems to be permanent. I started to delete them individually, realized how many there were, and nuked the whole lot. Now all the sites that I know set them (like the YouTube volume settings) are permanently unset. Doesn't matter how many times I go back to YouTube and bring the volume down, it doesn't set any LSO cookies any more, and YouTube is always full volume whenever I go back. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Anything a faculty member can learn, a student can easily. - Richard Wesley Hamming http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://twitter.com/rslade http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/NoticeBored _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
