It is, IMHO, a big travesty that it has not been made it into the public awareness sphere. You have heard the MSMs sometimes mention newsclips about computer files theft (recently, by China), and yet theMSMs have never mentioned the biggest facillitator of such theft: javascript.
Unfortunately, many if not most websites will not work if javascript is disabled. Try google maps, for example, after you uncheck, in Firefox, Edit->Preferences->Content->Enable Javascript. If you then browse to maps.google.com, you will get a blank map screen.
