A word of warning - this appears to download 350MB right away after you visit.

Thanks. That may well be enough to trash firefox all day.

One of the horrible consequences of the last 20 years of web (there are so many, not sure where to start!) that every person with an access to a computer thinks that they have every right to upload a humongous blob of binary to your computer without needing to ask. Thanks to silicon valley I suppose.

Obligatory link to the unspecified-at-the-time Air Force critique of Multics with the introduction of a Trojan horse:

That's a good one from Ken Thomson.

   "The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did
   not totally create yourself. (Especially code from com-
   panies that employ people like me.) No amount of
   source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you
   from using untrusted code."
