I don't believe the "crutch" is necessary

I just think its habit.

It requires a plugin and runs stuff in your browser.

Applications are stovepipes - constructs that erect barriers to getting things done.

You would do better to read Alan Kay - (tuberculosis) - (82) - Feb. 2, 2006, 04:04:27 PM EST

Wow. - (Arkadiy) - (81) - Feb. 4, 2006, 08:59:38 PM EST

Did you see HTML on the list? - (ben_tilly) - (79) - Feb. 6, 2006, 04:09:49 PM EST

OK, could you explain? - (Arkadiy) - (78) - Feb. 11, 2006, 07:03:26 PM EST

I'm shocked, sir. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Feb. 14, 2006, 01:44:42 AM EST

A crutch - (Arkadiy) - Feb. 13, 2006, 06:29:12 PM EST

I need to have me a look at that - (pwhysall) - Feb. 14, 2006, 01:48:21 AM EST

I'd like that to be true, but don't think it is - (drewk) - (58) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:25:14 PM EST

Ive used that treehouse design, didnt think too much of it - (boxley) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:51:29 PM EST

You are a prisoner of your assumptions and conditioning - (tuberculosis) - (55) - Feb. 12, 2006, 11:53:09 PM EST

my point is that people use what they know - (boxley) - (2) - Feb. 13, 2006, 08:30:08 AM EST

If I missed your point, it's because you forgot to make it - (drewk) - (49) - Feb. 13, 2006, 09:00:32 PM EST

But the applications *are* the walls - (tuberculosis) - (48) - Feb. 13, 2006, 10:50:05 PM EST

They're also inevitable - (drewk) - (47) - Feb. 14, 2006, 09:32:04 AM EST

That's what client-side encryption is for -NT - (drewk) - Feb. 14, 2006, 07:26:09 PM EST

As far as most recipients are concerned, it does - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Feb. 14, 2006, 07:29:26 PM EST

like windows, its the perception of security that counts -NT - (boxley) - (1) - Feb. 14, 2006, 08:25:23 PM EST

It is more complex than that - (ben_tilly) - Feb. 14, 2006, 09:50:40 PM EST

Take your last thought a little farther... - (Another Scott) - Feb. 14, 2006, 10:59:50 PM EST

Evidence runs to the contrary - (tuberculosis) - (27) - Feb. 15, 2006, 01:47:00 PM EST
