Ah yes, the good ol cable company putting the user first and letting
them have the freedom to choose, wait a minute, did I say that they did
that? my mistake I was thinking of the exact opposite... hmm...

It's funny part of the legacy though, being that the FCC adopted it in
an attempt to force cable companies to give people choice.

A year or 2 back I was reading Cory Doctorow's Little Brother and I
was wondering "what happened to the upgradable personal electronics he
envisioned", we were clearly heading that way in the 90s. And it's not
like upgradable electronics would be the end all be all, the world
would still be able to monitor us as usual. We could have had both
faster and more upgradable laptops today, yet we are still trying to
reverse engineer apple's pin shuffling on their macbook pro ssds...
Luckily Luke stepped in the game to show them off :)

Does anybody have a link to an alternative page on which the text is
displayed without requiring javascript?

I'll never understand why some folk eschew progressive enhancement of
web pages. grumble grumble grumble.
