Hm. Requires javascript to be enabled for at least 2 domains (one of which could have been a subdomain of the other! what is it with all these companies!?), and flash... boo non-standard websites! To download you have to register, and the flash junk clips the slides so that you can't read all that's on them.

final - compiler and VM enforced.

@Immutable - advisory/static analysis only, but recursive.
