Bringing up a world-readable image on a publicly accessible
webserver (by any means - either mistyping or experimenting with
urls) and invading someone's privacy by going through their medicine
cabinets. I don't think you were try to imply they were the same,
but they are so NOT the same that to even mention them together is,
well, stupid and potentially inflammatory.
I know my friend Jack takes Clariton now and some form of inhalable
allergy drug. I know that because when I use his facilities when we
watch movies at their place (something we'll do less now that I have
a brand new tv that's bigger than his) I see his allergy medicing
sitting on the sink where he leaves it. I have no idea what he
keeps in his cabinet or, to be honest, if he even has a medicine
cabinet.
