How do NoScript and using evince/kpdf instead of Acrobrat Reader affect those
trivial exploits?

Of course, if you're using a mail client that executes things found in
attachments, you'll get pwn3d quickly. Are there any mail clients that do
those things in this day and age? I thought they'd even partially fixed
Outhouse in that respect. J2EE? Who has all the components of J2EE installed
(besides Java developers)? In the last 5 years, I've seen exactly 2 Java
applets in the wild. Client-side Java is *uncommon* in the modern WWW AFAICT;
the things people used to use Java for have been taken over by Flash/JS.

I can see how it'd be easy to track credit card transactions (bank records)
and car movements (via traffic cameras). Could you explain "remote viewing
without camera technology" more clearly?
