kudos:74 | said by fatness:I'm inclined to also. From the article: The Mediacom ad was supposed to pop up in a new window, according to the source: "They were testing it to see if it worked." What is the difference between coding a popup and coding an injected ad? There are plenty of people here with technical knowledge of things like that, and I'm curious about that. Is it "all the same except for one small detail" or "a completely different thing" to the one creating the code? Thanks. It's substantially different especially given the methods they are using to begin with. How they thought they could pass this off as a "coding error" totally escapes me unless (1) they think you all are morons OR (2) they have morons running the show who don't know the difference.
If it were a coding error as they allege then it shouldn't have worked at all. Meaning you can't just accidently do what they did. If they weren't intending to do what they did then the code to do so should never have even been on a server somewhere to accidently find it's way into production. Get where I'm comin from?
