[OM] OT: Crippling Script

     My experience with a script crippling my laptop yesterday also had me 
blocked by the coffee house wifi for 24 hours, which really got my dander up.  
Some in-depth investigating this morning disclosed that this is NOT an uncommon 
problem, and it is NOT limited to evilBay.  The problem is prevalent enough 
that Mozilla has an extension to circumvent the problem called YesScript.  With 
it, you can specify the domain of the unwanted script and it will be kept from 
executing, much the same as the host file blocks URLs at the system level.

     I've already installed it and I cannot wait to give it a try so as to see 
how effective it is.
