cookie fun

Hmm, apparently Netscape 3.0b4 lets you set a setting (Network 
Preferences->Protocols) to let you know every time a server is setting a 
cookie, with a prompt to ask if you want to accept said cookie.  On sites 
using mod_cookie, not only does that popup at least once each session, if 
you say "no", every subsequent request (including images) will prompt and 
ask if you wish to accept said cookie.  Sheesh!  Hopefully the binary 
choice will be expanded so you can say "no" to every cookie the server 
sends, but in the short term I expect it'll mean that we'll have a harder 
time using cookies for user tracking.  Long live "Session-ID:"!
