Figure 3.13 The.source.code.for.that.same.Web.site.
on.cookies.later.because.they.are.very.important,.but.for.now.
just.recognize.that.there.is.a.lot.more.being.loaded.up.in.your.
browser.from.this.one.Web.site.than.you.see.when.you.look.
at.it.
This. brief. section. that. I. used. as. an. illustration. is. a. very.
small.part.of.the.actual.source.code.for.this.one.page..In.fact.
as. I. scroll. through. the. entire. source. code. page,. it. is. nearly.
30.pages.long.and.has.almost.1,700.lines.of.code..And.each.
of. those. lines. of. code. represents. some. type. of. data. being.
stored.in.the.cache.ile.so.that.the.Web.site.will.quickly.and.
eficiently.show.you.the.news.items,.advertisements,.pictures.
and.graphics,.and.so.forth.
If.all.of.those.data.types.are.stored.in.your.browser's.cache,.
how.much.of.that.data.have.you.actually.viewed.and.acted.
upon?
In.order.for.all.of.that.data.to.be.stored.in.my.browser,.all.
I.had.to.do.was.open.the.Comcast.net.site..I.did.not.click.on.
any.of.the.links.or.read.any.of.the.stories.or.even.look.at.most.
of.the.pictures.that.were.stored.unless.they.were.at.the.top.
part.of.the.irst.view.of.the.page..There.are.literally.dozens.of.
other.pictures.and.graphics.that.were.stored.in.my.cache.that.
I.never.laid.eyes.on..Not.to.mention.links.to.other.sites,.text,.
