Isn't that fraud? (unless you buy something)

Yes, I agree with you.

But he has earned his trust with HN community. I have not been around that long haven't earned your trust but that just supports my point about trust vs technology and his stupid "enable javascript you *" message. As I am new to your community, he does not have my trust yet and does not deserve any based on what I know about him so far.

That might change over time but so far it seems he is making web a bit more unpleasant for people who do not throw themselves to the sharks by blindly enabling javascript to whoever asks/orders to.

Baning MS from bundling IE with their OS is very hypocritical and great distraction move by EU bureaucracy.

They should open the tenders instead of making secret deals and make publicly available all the deals they have made with MS in the first place. That would limit corruption where business and government meets and give chance to alternatives and progress.

The whole anti-Opera campain is just more distraction from the real issue.

Interesting.

However, I was just about to enable javascript but then I read the message:

   Look. It's 2009. Each time you visit without javascript,
   another frog dies (It's automatic - wires from webserver
   to frog electricution chair. Took me 3 weeks to wire
   that). YOU are responsible. How does that make you feel?
   hmm? Save frogs. Enable javascript.

Enabling javascript is about TRUST, not technology. And the basic problems with trust are the same whether it is 2009 or not.

I do not trust you!
