The rest of us figured out many, many hours ago, mostly individually, to just disable javascript.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

With NoScript and Firefox - it let me right into the site. It's not about permanently disabling Javascript, it's about controlling what runs and what does not.


There have been many reports of in the wild viruses in the last several years that get pushed down to your computer via Javascript. So, it's a level of safety.
