I stopped using the GPL

Whoever you are, you didn't seem to make an impact since I can't think of any well known opensource products that stopped using GPL because of a single individual. I'm guessing you just wrote a XML parser or something else done a thousand times.

Note: I am not the grand parent.

I would suggest differentiating the brand from just being an 'OpenOffice.org fork'. Give it a more unique name, points for:

• Name rolls off the tongue
• Is easily pronounceable in most languages
• Advertising - Full page ads in magazines (and being an opensource project, you might get a special deal)
• Affiliate linking programs similar to the earlier days of Firefox, where users could compete with each other based on how many people they referred uniquely.
• A distinctive large icon in the UI that notable, so potential users can recognize the use of this program in multiple places.

"Open Office" is trademarked by another office suite.

So what is Microsoft using on the xbox 360 for youtube?

Because I need tools that any home and SMB user can use easily and SanboxIE ain't that tool, it just ain't.

Why not? I thought you were meant to be an experienced IT person, doing something like System Center Configuration Management should be trivial for you.

And why would i want to go to the trouble of downloading some other program just to make up for the fact that the FF devs are shitty when it comes to security, when I can give them any Chromium based browser instead and just be done with it?

Because you're relying on just the security provided through the browser, when you could limit the browser's capability from effecting the entire OS.

I also don't see why you'd think SandboxIE would be more secure than Low Rights mode

Why do you keep capitalizing IE in sandboxie? It's nothing to do with IE.

Say some escalation exploit is used, the exploit code has direct access registry, files on the system. Sandboxie avoids that entirely because the environment is virtualized too. It also does not suffer vulnerability issue where a plugin can effect the entire system (like the Java applet exploits that effect Chrome too).

So far, from your response, I don't think you researched the software at all.

frankly I haven't seen a single infection on any customer's PCs that use it

Says the experienced IT guy that doesn't know how to use "System Center Configuration Management" trivially. Yeah, I don't think I'll trust your 'security' audits, I actually doubt you do them.

Oh and FYI but if you just absolutely positively have to run FF for some reason

I don't care what browser is being used, I find it ridiculous to be concerned about browser security and then to not actually implement something like sandboxie, considering the attack vectors are still completely capable via commonly used plugins, especially when you're bringing in users that you imply through your use of the words 'any home and SMB user' are not technically literate and therefore likely to click 'yes' to various security prompts despite the dangers.

Go on strike?

How is it broken?

The extensions that keep breaking for you were likely built using the old way, which didn't make use of the stable API abstraction functions that the FF devs keep 'working' between versions.

I suggest you go back to IE6. It's more the type of browser your kind like.

Does it really matter if its name is 20.1 or 21?

It does, because 20.1 was the previous version, naming it an identical version would break things and confuse people.

SeaMonkey [seamonkey-project.org].

How do I configure browser.download.manager.quitBehavior like in Firefox?

Why didn't you take the more secure approach and use a tool like sandboxie?

In two days it corrupted its cache 3 times, forcing me to manually clear it. It choked on all of my google cookies and wouldn't allow me to login to gmail until I googled the answer (manually clearing all of my cookies as well as cache). On top of that the sync barfed all over the place when I added a third machine and and somehow the plugins I had loaded, specifically lastpass, ended up taking a shit on all over the place because sync broke.

Why don't I experience your problems on Firefox?

My carrier offers unlimited with tethering too!

Relax. It will go away soon. Like, MySpace, or any other fad in the past...

Then why is MySpace still around and why do I still see MySpace IDs being referenced in stuff like newly designed restaurant menus?
