I guess I'll keep mime sniffing DISabled, even though I do all those other things for security. I'm even willing to put up with frequent prompts. Maybe for fun I'll visit grc.com again and see if they can break through my wireless defenses - I've been tested in the past and found secure. I'm sure they could if they really wanted to, but they test on a general level and not a determined high level. I don't download music or visit suspicious type sites anyway, don't even bank online. PayPal is the closest I come to online commerce.
