Any half decent HTML text editor will at minimum syntax highlight the HTML text making it easier to read. Other better HTML editors allow you to do other things like project file management, code folding, column cut copy and paste, multiple file editing, ftp editing, integrated source control etc etc. Even Zeus, which is not a dedicated HTML editor provides this basic level of support for HTML, as do many other editors.

The address is split up in two and stored in email.js which is a public file. Since it is a common trick, the email harvesting bots are likely to be aware of such tricks. OTH, the damn bots also use your domain name and generate addresses like info@, helpdesk@, sales@, admin@, root@, webmaster@, postmaster@, john@, peter@, laura@, and about a few hundred others. I am very much against death penalty, but for spammers who use these kind of methods such a punishment would have my blessing. My hope is, that at some time, sending an email will cost 1-2 cent or something. Seems the only way to put an end to spamming. -- Thanks, Frank. (remove 'q' and '.invalid' when replying by email)

Nothing would prevent spambots from "virtually clicking" the email field and then they've got it. But from what I have heard from DNA and others is that spambots rarely do. Heck, even if it would be 1 in 10 bots that were smart enough that's still a healthy 90% reduction :-) It's like putting a decent dead-bolt lock on your front door. That will deter 95% of thiefs or so. But not 100%. > OTH, the damn bots also use your domain name and generate > addresses like info@, helpdesk@, sales@, admin@, root@, > webmaster@, postmaster@, john@, peter@, laura@, and > about a few hundred others. > Don't use these :-) > I am very much against death penalty, but for spammers > who use these kind of methods such a punishment would > have my blessing. > > My hope is, that at some time, sending an email will > cost 1-2 cent or something. Seems the only way to put > an end to spamming. > An Internet tax? No way. It's only a very short path from there to a greedy bureaucracy seeing another method to milk the public for more taxes. There are rather gross examples where that happened. In case you want one: Until last year we paid an extra tax on our phone bills. It was imposed in 1898 to finance the Spanish-American war. That war is, ahem, kind of over now... -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

I've seen similar ones, both in Italy: One guy was transporting a huge chunk of marble on his Fiat 500 (that's the real tiny old ones). It had crushed the roof, thereby making itself a bed that the driver considered enough of load securing. He sat underneath... The topper was a guy motoring alongside a busy highway on a Vespa scooter, balancing a telephone pole between his knees. The floor section of the scooter almost scraped the road. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com |
