Right, there are ways around it, but if they stop the unwashed masses, then they consider it a success. 

I take it back there is one way:

Mandate a compromised IP stack + backdoored CPU ( vpro, for example ) on every machine that connects to the network. 

I remember in the old days of dial-up how some companies had their own custom IP stack + software to be able to connect to their service.  Sure, it was not nefarious at the time as it was still the early days, but i was thinking "this could be really bad if used the wrong way"

A few others did too, the 'local' one i used for a while ( i forget the name now, its been too long ) also did it.

I do realize its long ago not everyone did it, etc. bla bla.  Just pointing out that they could do it, again. 

So at the office they are in the process of "denying iis verbs" on all web servers.

Wont that make many of the apps useless?

ya,  get. post, head. etc.

i had to go look it up too..  I heard about it a few months ago  ( i was asked to automate something about it ) then just saw the CMR yesterday that its really going to happen.

And sites are going down as they make the changes.

Not all. but there is fallout.

Ok so its not ALL methods, err verbs. The CMR said 'disabling verbs on all IIS servers' and that was all it said, other than listing which servers were in each "batch".  it implied all, and i had zero idea how anything was going to function. But in reality, its only some of the more "dangerous" ones ( in their eyes ) such as delete, patch, and nuke.  But stuff like post and get are still allowed.

Still killing a few of our apps. But at least not a complete implosion. 

Fucking Mozilla. Firefox now refuses to delete individual items from my history, either with Shift-DEL or by clicking the three dots and selecting "Remove from history". Literally nothing happens.

The entire World Wide Web must be burned to the ground, and the earth salted.

Well, it did grow into something that it was never intended to be.  ( starting with client side processing....)

It wasn't made for cat pics/vids either, yet here we are.

To be fair, the WWW was not originally intended to be an application delivery platform.

Not so sure about that. ( the picture part at least..   doubt people had thought past images due to bandwidth back then )

is it just me, or does latest chrome on Linux suck for downloading. suck bad..   It pretty much freezes the entire thing during the download, and if there is more than 2 the entire PC slows down to mud (system resources are fine, its gotta be chrome internal resources )

I can wget the same file just fine, so its not the system. just chrome.

and i know i know.. dont use chrome it sucks..  but it has a couple of things i use between platforms. 

Right, i do think images were part of the original plan. 

I think before the WWW, the best you could do was find an image file (by file name) on a BBS, gopher server, or anonymous FTP, download it, run your local viewer program for whatever graphics format it happened to be, then see if the image was worth all the preceding effort.

So yes, I think embedded images were greatly desired when the WWW was being designed.
