Some folks are more internet savvy. They use search engine for the server space and arrive at mind boggling offers. Even the third party providers find it difficult to figure out which web hosts to build relation with. Mind you, every web host gives you 30 days money back offer. But, its traumatic to switch web servers due to bad experience or we figure it out too late.

Aaron Weaver has taken the concept of Inter protocol XSS hacking to the next annoying level. That’s right folks, he has figured out that you can do cross site printing. That is, when you visit a malicious website, it can attempt to connect to and send data to your printer on your local network. The obvious use? You got it, spam!
So now, when you visit sites, there is a potential for them to spam you, similar to the way some people receive FAX spam. While he has only gone so far as to show how you can send ASCII art, it would be interesting to see if a PostScript formatted file could be sent in a way that the printer would understand and print. For the time being, however, we are limited to low def ASCII art spam.
