| MHenke on Sep 8, 2003 at 4:39:37 AM (# 647) Stopping this thread... I think it ISN'T possible!
I have only been tracking this thread for about six months now, but I put in about 4 hours a week’s worth. Let’s call it my new hobby. Anyways, I remember reading posts in the past by individuals that seemed not very ridiculous to me.
They wanted to hide their nonsense from the user!
Now, one of the first questions that popped up in my head was why on earth would someone wish to ‘hide’ their nonsense. After all, the internet is all about trading flapdoodle(right?). Anyways, every now and then I gave the subject a little more thought and I don't came to a conclusion.
Silly chatter is the wave of the future. It don’t need any meaning and it will work on any brain (for the most part). So, if some would want their nonsense hidden from the user, we couldn't see it here at the application developer community. I am currently writing a whole bunch of moronic stuff to SiteExperts and I have been working on it for almost six minutes now, I certainly would be very pleased if someone reads my blather, shares my humour and laughs at my insanely work.
Anyways, back to the topic of ‘stopping’ this thread. Does everyone out there still think it’s desirable? I think it’s impossible.
Actually, I believe I have found a way to prevent it (accidentally). Who knows, maybe the late night programming and the double hammered whicis have paid off. I believe that I found a way to proceed this thread so that all users could see about 104 lines of nonsense and that’s it. I am not talking about disabling the brain; I am just talking about to have some fun.
Who’s interested in pushing this conversation further?

This message has been edited.Question 1: Which would you vote for?
Hiding HTML/SCRIPT... I think it IS possible!
I have only been programming for about six months now, but I put in about 40 hours a week’s worth. Let’s call it my new hobby. Anyways, I remember reading posts in the past by individuals who requested a certain feature that seemed very ridiculous at the time.
They wanted to hide their code from the user!
Now, one of the first questions that popped up in my head was why on earth would someone wish to ‘hide?their code. After all, the internet is all about trading technologies (right?). Anyways, every now and then I gave the subject a little more thought and I eventually came to a conclusion.
Internet Applications are the wave of the future. They don’t need to be installed and they will work on any computer (for the most part). So, if anyone would want their code hidden from the user, it would seem that it would be the application developer community. I am currently working on a web application and I have been working on it for almost six months now, I certainly would be very upset if someone acquired my code, copied my product and just changed a few headings and made money off my hard work.

Actually, I believe I have found a way to do it (accidentally). Who knows, maybe the late night programming and the double espresso’s have paid off. I believe that I found a way to set up a site so that all the user ever sees is about 10 lines of code and that’s it. I am not talking about disabling the right button; I am just talking about using a different style.

Question 2: Which of the following is correct?
1. I think it isn't possible.
2. I think it's not possible.
Footnote 1: I'm not pushing the conversation. I was just a bit naughty trying to push the numbers.... Does that mean I'm in? =]
Footnote 2: The passing mark of this quick examination is 0%.
MHenke on Sep 8, 2003 at 9:56:13 AM (# 649)> [...] Does that mean I'm in? =]
Definitely. You're trapped... :]

This message has been edited.This thread musn't stop. That'd mean I'd have to work for these 10 to 20 minutes instead of reading silly chatter.
I think it musn't be possible to stop this thread. Please continue the inane banter. Lives and psyches are dependant upon it's very existence.
HillsCap on Sep 8, 2003 at 11:33:18 AM (# 652)Actually, I stumbled across a MS website the other day that promises to come up with a solution to the problem of hiding your HTML code from the prying, perverted eyes of the world.
It's an add-on to MS IE, and you encrypt your pages, give them a different file extension, then the only program that is supposedly able to read / decrypt them will be IE (with the proper decryption key, of course). I figure that scheme will be broken... oh, say... 5 minutes after it's introduced. Then, of course, MS will announce that the add-on creates major security flaws for IE and Windows itself and require patch after patch after patch to 'fix' it, all the while buggering functionality.
Another great MS product rollout.
Holophrastic on Sep 8, 2003 at 12:12:30 PM (# 653)eh, when it comes to hiding source code, really, there is little need.
Most experienced developers spend most of their time determining how things should look/act/perform. Once the design is done, it's simply grunt work to program the code. It wouldn't be hard to copy a design without any of the code.
Besides, it's not like you could take an entire system, and copy it. One file / page, sure, but unless you are doing exactly the same thing, you wouldn't be able to make any changes if you copied 75 files. And, of course, there are backend components as well.
Oh, and lest we forget, it is still illegal to copy someone's work even if the code is visible.
As far as this IE addon, there have been third-party decryptors of such for a while. The problems are obvious: other browsers, other platforms, speed, performance, and features.
Can you use javascript to read the D.O.M.? If you can, you can dump the whole bloody D.O.M.. If you can't, then say "Bye Bye" to D.H.T.M.L..
