Re: Texas Bank Dumps Antivirus for Whitelisting

So under HA, a Web browser can only show ASCII text files.  After all, HTML
itself is a programming language with intermingled code (ie., HTML tags) and
data ("text").

Boy, you really *don't* know anything about computer architecture, do you?

Interpreting HTML on a Harvard architecture machine might be interesting,
but, 
in any case, there would not be any mixing of code and data.  Therefore, Web

browsing under Harvard architecture would not involve any active content, at
least 
not any that would be executed on the client (browser) machine.
