So, the first link says to the sencond link:
http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm

Which sets a cookie which expires Mon 29 Apr 2002.


Why can't I just paste that into my browser, and change DAY=30 to DAY=32767?

Low and behold, I get a cookie that expires Tue 19 Jan 2038.  :-)
