Well, it seems that this kiosk doesn't have it's security as tight as the last. Everytime this one 'timesout' on me I can click the back button and get right back at it. This is one of those Global/Digital Media Com kiosks with a big plasma screen above it streaming commercials at me. The web kiosk is below with no chair and a keyboard mounted just a little bit too low, even if I had a chair. I can get slightly comfy on one knee but I guess to anyone getting wrapped up in the commercials on the plasma screen above me, it looks like I'm saying my last rites online before my flight..
This does pose a new problem for Dan to work out: my cookie is still in this browser, so any schmoe who walks up can post to Flutterby directly unless I logout.

That's why I've at least got the "logout" link. I've thought about making a refreshed shorter time-period cookie, but refreshing it constantly and dealing with timeouts seems to make that a less friendly idea than requiring a logout or browser restart.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
