[drifting further offtopic] Putting on my end-user hat, I have to say that this can be more significant than one might think. I have NoScript installed on all my browsers. It helps with security, but I find that really I mostly use it to implement the maxim "avoid time-wasting morons", like the all-singing all-dancing mortgage distraction or those infuriating "let a live salesman twist your arm" popins or the sites whose scripts run at 100% for minutes without producing anything useful. So when I hit a new site that wags its finger at me for not providing Javascript (or worse, Flash) then I have to decide whether I'm interested enough in that site to spend time granting them permission to take over MY browser. Often enough I either leave the scripting off if I can get what I want without it, or I go down the road to someone else's nice clean site that Just Works. So when selecting technology, do consider the balance between providing useful functionality to the users and just bothering them. -- Mark H.
