It doesn't follow necessarily. in fact I don't think it follows at all.

TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Certain sites that reject KDE browsers drive #firefox berserk and there is no warning. I've lost count of how many times this happened.Dec 28 07:21
schestowitz"Spoofing the UA hinders our cause, letting them believe that nobody actually uses anything else than the "famous" browsers."Dec 28 07:21
schestowitz"I didn't say I'm spoofing it to look like a "Windows' platform ;)"Dec 28 07:22
schestowitz"Neither did I. But if I use Konqueror (not famous), and spoof the UA to make it look like Chrome or Firefox... I'm reinforcing their stupid idea that everyone should use one of the "big browsers"."Dec 28 07:22
schestowitz"I get your point perfectly and I'm aware of all of it. However, there are many schools of IT sec, like: security through obscurity, security through conformity, security through uniqueness, etc. I don't think that UAString spoofing has that much of influence on sites anyway. Not today, maybe earlier. Now we have enough ways to connect to the internet, even from the fridge, microwave oven, smartphones, tablets ... website Dec 28 07:23
schestowitzcreators make their sites in 2 variants anyway: regular and mobile. You get the point and I'm pretty sure it sounds reasonable to you, too ;)"Dec 28 07:23
schestowitz"Yes, it sounds reasonable. But still, most modern and "unfamous" browsers out there use WebKit, so they are treated as if they were Chrome or Safari, both famous enough and specifically supported enough. If your browser doesn't have "webkit" or "firefox" in the UA, ridiculous (and artificial) problems begin.Dec 28 07:23

Everyone who would have create such ridiculous experiment would be morally banned for his life, and for few another lives, if he believes in reincarnation.. That would require a huge doze of insanity and stupidity at the same time.

schestowitz"did someone fart?"Dec 28 07:26
schestowitzWhy is this story still in the news headlines? Right now they just make the killer famous, or infamous? This only motivates more to follow suit, have their bio printed in newspapers. The govt. has been dreaming about diarming citizens amid this looting of the public (aka "financial crisis"), so now they squeeze the juice out of a news stor, using the deaths of white children for policy laundering.Dec 28 07:28
schestowitz"It turned out to be a good talk."Dec 28 07:30
schestowitz"Well, he seemed to talk about need to undertake some actions. Let's see if it's really gonna change for once. I give him a gren light, even though I don't expect anything to change, because I generally don't believe that US society can understand the root of the problem right away."Dec 28 07:30
schestowitz"He did not give specifics, other than setting up a team to study, but there were hints of good things to come. When he talked about making sure that everyone's kids were safe and had opportunities to lead productive and satisfying lives, he's promising to do more than ban guns and help mentally ill people."Dec 28 07:31
