dear mister broccoli man

let's try this with a real world example

in internet explorer, type

   http://www.cnn.com/virtual/2000/code/main.js

into the address bar

you're asked if you want to save it to disk

in netscape, type

   view-source:http://www.cnn.com/virtual/2000/code/main.js

into the address bar

you see the external source right away, dude

not so impossible to crack, after all
