>>Oh... don't go too fast! There is a big security whole you are opening.
But not a new one: ActiveX controls, Director Xtras, and all
applications carry this same potential threat. After all, the online
world is far older than Web security protocols. As long as people are
aware of the risks beforehand, the can make their own choices.
Moreover, if Scott attempts to build security features into the product,
it opens the door for all sorts of potential liabilities. In the United
States of Attorneys, this may not be a wise move.
Ultimately, nothing is secure. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I think
it's healthy for people to avoid the false sense of security implied by
tools like Java (which still carries a hefty and thorough disclaimer in
spite of its claims).
