I, too have been noticing a significant increase in troubled machines lately
(including OS X, Linux and of course the usual Microsoft suspects). Something
to keep an eye on guys!

Good article. I must note, however, while he recommends training, he gives no sources for same. Obviously, many things should be well known to his immediate audience but I could wish he had included some links or material itself.

For example, he recommends no-script or an equivalent and flat out states the user needs training in its use. I count myself among them. I used it for a while and got so tired of it asking whether some totally unspecified script should be allowed to run that I gave it up. Maybe there was some way to get information on which to base a decision but I never found it. Super tool made useless for lack of information!
