"Technical experts do not post in HTML."

And the real technical experts post categorical asserts without any
technical arguments.

Cheers.

Carlos.

My apologies. Google didn't even bother displaying the HTML. I only
just now looked at the "show original," either google does more with
it than it used to, or more likely it handles MIME messages by simply
ignoring Content-Type: text/html. There is an X complaints contact
specifically for usenet in the original post, if you care let them
know they ought to tell their users what settings to use.

I agree, if the person is posting on usenet and is claiming to show
off their technical expertise, he ought to expect grief posting HTML.
The last line of http://dbaoracle.net/readme-cdos.htm#subj13 points
this out explicitly, though now I see it doesn't matter so much for
those of us who use google.

As far as the actual youtube, it's just rehashing some old "look what
I can find with google!" post from like 2005 (probably descended from
http://www.appsecinc.com/techdocs/whitepapers/research.html ), which
would be kind of useless for someone who doesn't already know about
it. It could even be fear-mongering from some viewpoints. A pretty
good demonstration of bad video information transfer, it needs a text
description of what is happening and why. It would be more
entertaining if he was standing up on a bicycle going "look at me!"
and fell off and got hit in the nuts with the handlebars.

http://www.red-database-security.com/software/checkpwd.html and Pete
Finnigan's sites have more useful information.

It is also a little out of the group dynamic to post here and ask for
comments there, though he did say please.

Joel,

No problem at all. Incidentally, I didn't even bother with the link anyway.
