Coming from a '.com', where the code license mentions..

Either way, you do not set a good impression by calling
yourself 'badrad.com'.

I had a quick peek at the source and noticed the JavaScript
used to generate HTML, is writing invalid HTML.

Then I checked your URL to the JNLP launch file
<http://www.mynewsbot.com/codegen.jsp>
..Why is it coming from a different domain?
Oh.., that leads to badrad.com.

The URL in the HTML, as well as the codebase in the
JNLP launch file, can become shorter by setting it to
badrad directly.

About the JNLP..
1)
  <vendor>NCCS INC. </vendor>
Who is NCCS?
- National Centre For Cell Science?
- National Children's Cancer Society?
- The National Center for Charitable Statistics?
- ...

2)
  <all-permissions/>
uh-huh, but note that..
    ...
    <jar href="classes12.zip"/>
..some Java versions would not even bother to check the
digital signatures in any .zip archive, and instead declare
the code 'untrusted'. It is best to always deploy signed
code as Jar's. And since you don't know when you might
want to lift the security of a sandboxed project, I'd make
them all '.jar' files as well.

We are at the stage where
- the description on the page (as well as your initial post
here) does not inspire me enough to actually click on the
launch link, ..
- especially given it is coming from 'some dude on usenet'
that calls themselves 'badrad', who..
- demonstrates such an amateurish understanding of
HTML/JS/JNLP, and asks us to trust ..
- ..code that requests all-permissions.

"Thanks, but no thanks."
