When are some of these guys going to be hanged?

Among the guys I would like to see hanged are web programmers of legitimate sites who pointlessly riddle their sites with JavaScript that must be enabled for the sites to work. Running scripts on the client side (i.e., your machine) instead of the server side (their machine) may make interactive sites (e.g., e-commerce) more interactive, but it makes it nearly impossible for people to safely use the internet unless they constantly turn scripting on and off (which is a nuisance) or use some sort of whitelisting like NoScript (which can be difficult for non-programmers to use).

Note that the reason fine-grain whitelisting like NoScript is important is that the aforementioned pointless-but-necessary scripting on an e-commerce site can be enabled while other unnecessary and possibly malicious crap on the same page can be blocked. But this is what makes it complicated for non-programmers.

It never ceases to amaze me that cyber security never becomes an issue in presidential campaigns. This is a massive problem that affects almost everyone, involves billions of dollars in theft, yet politicians never seem to make it a priority. Someone needs to tell the Republicans to make this their issue.
