Yet another illustration of why the ActiveX model "sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before."

People are lucky they're only served up embarrassing content, since they could be having their hard disk completely read, modified or destroyed after they accept a malicious ActiveX component.

If only there was a way to educate the millions of people who trust the model, and who trust the signers and owners of certificates implicitly... there has to be a better way.
