All of them. Any company. Anywhere.

Greed and stupidity has absolutely taken over our society and made dealing with anyone nearly impossible.

It's the end of our society as we know it. Thanks a lot, everyone.

Exactly. XHTML is not that hard to get right, and it makes a web page "clean" in that there doesn't have to be any guessing going on in the browser to figure out what a page designer wants.

The best thing in the world would have been browsers adapting a rigid HTML standard to begin with and browsers simply saying "Sorry, this page has invalid HTML" on bad pages.

I can dream, can't I?

As someone that is allergic and/or hypersensitive to everything except Tylenol, I guess I'm screwed if I need one of those types of drugs then, huh?

Wonder how long it will take them to ban Tylenol itself.

Thanks a lot for treating me like an idiot.

These FDA morons are going to get a letter from me. Not that it'll do any good, since modern government doesn't listen to the people anymore. Not really.

How to do nothing and still think you're accomplishing something.

You have no right to complain about it opening its home page if you know how to disable it. It's beneficial because it describes any changes, like THE VERY ONE BEING COMPLAINED ABOUT IN THIS ARTICLE.

"Barely use" noscript? You "use" it every single time you go to a page, unless you're dumb enough to use it as a script blacklister instead of whitelisting as you should.

I've said it many times in the past, and I'll continue to say it: people that complain about NoScript don't understand how it works.

Yes, I'm a rabid NoScript fan and will defend this awesome piece of software to my death if need be.

The people that modded me down and responded negatively have apparently never been exposed to a sensible server operating system. Locking a system down that tight is just ridiculous. Use your brains for a minute -- what is the only reason an OS has to be locked down absolutely that tight on boot? Because it's so insecure that any leaks can infect it before the admins have a chance to properly patch and secure it.

I know there are people paid by Microsoft to troll, mod down and post ridiculous responses to anything anti-Microsoft and/or pro-*nix (really -- I was told this by a Microsoft insider when the company I used to work for was doing some work with them), but it has really stepped up lately. One has to wonder the amount of sheer panic Microsoft has right now, and how good that looks for other OSes.

I've never tried 2k8. Does it come with the horrible lockdown of every single thing on the machine when you first bring the system up like 2k3 did, meaning you can't even browse outside of Microsoft's site to get other necessary server bits/programs/etc without doing some obscure fix to open that up (I never could get IE to allow me to go anywhere besides Microsoft unless I did that!)?

That made me laugh -- apparently even Microsoft knows the security on its product is so bad that they have to ship it locked completely down. If they can't even trust their product, why should I?

The real solution, of course, is to stop using stupid Windows-copycat methods for launching programs for the sake of "ease of use".

The more Linux tries to copy Windows (dbus, hald, .desktop, etc), the more insecure it will get.

You can, but they'll throw you out.

Because gambling is for stupid people, you know. Any advantage smart people can use in their little games isn't tolerated.

All the more reason to avoid gambling garbage in the first place.

Doesn't seem to help. Still brings up things in the middle of freaking titles and URLs as a first match.

If I wanted to search my history, I'd bring up History and use the search feature. I want to complete URLs as typed when I type in the damn URL bar.

Awesomebar is garbage, and whoever thought it up should be ashamed of themselves.

Except that such a thing would protect against accidental shifts, bumps, and any other problems that might happen, as well as any necessary adjustment of the position of the console for any known reason while playing. It's called "quality", and Microsoft doesn't give a shit about it, or they'd have fixed the goddamn RROD problem by now instead of just sending people new XBoxes (and likely counting that as a new sale) every time it happens. And yes, the problem has not been fixed, despite rumors to the contrary, new XBoxes still get the RROD.

Microsoft only cares about its bottom line, and not its products. People who support them are bad consumers. If this were any other industry, Microsoft would be out of business.
