Is this a joke? Why do websites I havent yet visited need to store anything on my computer?

Wtf? That's messed up... if a website I haven't even visited tries to store information on my computer, my computer should... automatically hack them, and fuck their website up! o_O


I have it so only www.Zelaron.com can store a meg on my computer, no other websites, that's fucking nuts...

Yea i still cant figure out why a website i have never been to and/or probly never will go to needs or should even think they deserve my harddrive.

DIalup or not why does a website need access to your harddrive when you have never even viewed it?

[Shpook]

Well, "technically" its so they can store the TIF's and let the page load up faster.... but I agree, they shouldnt have to have access to the hard drive.

What the...
Maybe they load the website your are seeing Intro flash animation that would make sense for that but what if your browsing a website with a menu made in Flash... They can't predict which link you'll click on...
Wierd

No . . we should allow them full access to our PC's . . While we are surfing/playing games/watching "movies" they should be able to take over our computers and do whatever they want. AT ALL TIMES! o_O
