As the world shifts to an era of greater security, the people’s paranoia seems to be diving off into the deep end. In a masterful move of pure genious, a site-operator at British Telecom decided that a user, who was making a Tsunami releaf donation using the Lynx web browser, was a hacker. His reason: simply the fact that the user was using a non-standard browser. Um, ok. So if I use anything other than MSIE or FireFox I’m a hacker? Wow, what an astounding sense of logic this site-operator has. I better shut down that copy of Konqueror running on my non-standard Linux operating system before I get caught!
