AFAICT, JS is pretty much *required* for large parts of the WWW as it
currently exists.  Blame this on the marketing people ("We want to track
*everything*!") and people who want to do all kinds of Cool Web 2.0 Things
even when they're not useful.  I have to turn JS on for my phone company's
site to pay my phone bill.  My bank's site is just as bad; no JS, no accounts
page.

If you buy anything from mwave, they'll put you on a mailing list, and you'll
get spam every few days.  At least it's reasonably easy to unsubscribe.
