WTF – Password required to read SL Blog?!?!?!

Check out this dialog I was just presented with when I opened Firefox to read some of today’s blogosphere buzz :

ll-password-request-rss

Okay…  "Apparently there’s a picture or something in that blog post that is hosted on JIRA, which is causing the browser to ask me for my password", I thought to myself, "I should go to the actual blog post and mention that fact, I bet they’d appreciate that".  Well, easier said than done :

ll-password-request

Naturally, comments are closed.  Well, it’s not my problem, and I don’t have any real responsibility to try any harder than that to tell LL when they screw up, but I would like to point out the irony of a blog post about Payments by Bank Wire which appears to be phishing for my password :)

PS: The authentication dialog looks the way that it does because I’m using Firefox 3 with the Nasa Night Launch Theme.

    Robby has been a little “under the weather” lately but is getting better.
