This is one of my concerns with HTML 5

Isn't this the free version anyway? Why bother paying for services to track scores and levels if it won't generate revenue?

Services?

As I said, it's always impossible until someone does it. I suggest to you that we should simply disagree and let this go. Obviously I have higher standards for what constitutes good game design than you do and there's the end of it.

Just so you know, at least one more person sides with David in this disagreement. Judging by the votes you got, I'd say more than one. You may be right, someone maybe could obsfucate data locally that can't be hacked. I wouldn't pay anyone to try going down that path on my watch. (You are putting up a bulletin board saying it is impossible to hack "this". Someone is sure to put in the effort to prove you wrong.)

Isn't the point of HTML to publish data, not protect it? Is there something in 5 that promises more? Sometimes you get help from unexpected sources. I was charged with designing a secure source of data and looked into separating the sources into separate XML segment files and including only the files the user is authorized to see. I was concerned that the only protection to the sources was obsfucating the member names of the files because my inital view of straight XML parsed into HTML showed the XML needed to do it and I was afraid they could guess the other file names. Imagine my surprise when I ran the cgi that produced the same XML and viewed the source that it was HTML. That obviously didn't come from the secure portal which had no problem displaying XML source lines from the file. The cgi wasn't designed to know what you are doing and parse XML into HTML. I was left to conclude that IE determined the source was a cgi and provided the conversion. The project was dropped because the sources I had available weren't discrete enough to prevent someone authorized to view one thing from viewing everying from that source, my proposed solution wouldn't be used, and no other option was presented.

If there's one thing I don't worry about, it's my popularity. If you don't like what I say, argue with me or KMA. If it gives someone a thrill up their leg to vote me a one - why the frack should I change what I have to say?

You seem to have trouble reading. Even David finally got the fact that I wanted the game to be easier to win by playing than by hacking. One of the favorite excuses of the incompetent is to use the perfect to avoid trying for the good. Sure there are people who when told they can have it good, they can have it cheap and they can have it fast - as long as they pick two, choose fast and cheap. Me? I don't work with people who embrace mediocrity.
