BIO
Rob Myers is an artist and hacker based in the UK.
I have been creating images of the contemporary social and cultural environment through programming, design software and visual remixing since the early 1990s. My work is influenced by popular culture and high art in equal measures. My interest in remixing and sampling has led to my involvement in the Free Culture movement. I have been involved in the public consultation regarding the Creative Commons 2.0 and CC-UK licenses. All my visual art is available under a Creative Commons license.
My interest in programming has led to my involvement with the Free Software movement. I developed the Macintosh version of the Gwydion Dylan programming language compiler. All my software is available under the GNU GPL.

Phishing attacks ("enter your ebay details" scams) use html in email to great effect.
They give you a url to click on that looks like: http://www.ebay.com/ , but if you read the http of the email it reads <a href="http://www.criminals.com">http://www.ebay.com/</a> . So you click on the ebay link and it takes you to a server they'll use to empty your account.
You can edit the html in a text editor, then copy & paste it into a "plain text" email, so not allowing you to edit the html doesn't really stop misuse of the feature, it just makes it harder to use it legitimately (assuming there was even a design decision on this).

I must try the album again. I found it unlistenable but I'm fully aware
that this might be my philistine ears rather than any fault with the
music.

The criminals will just do what they've done in the UK (land of
surveillance gone mad): buy baseball caps and hoodies.
And dozens of bored young male camera operators will get paid for
zooming in on unsuspecting young women. To be fair, they're far more
easy to identify than hoodied hoodlums.
Still, all the terrorists and the illegal immigrants will soon have
biometric ID cards. Then we won't need the cameras any more.
