Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience: "Brian Hook of id software fame got around to developing on ActiveX and found some minor grievances, particularly in the security department. To quote: 'I've been doing some ActiveX coding on the side for a couple days, stuff I'm not familiar with, and I'm just flat out _appalled_ at how bad that entire API and design is. I can make an OCX that basically formats your hard drive, stick it on a Web page with a tag, and if your security settings are set low enough, you'll start formatting your hard drive the minute you visit my Web page.'"—SlashDot
