As someone who has has to regularly apply MS patches on a our network, I can say that I never
consider a machine patched until I have applied the patch and tested using the vulnerability. With so many parts integrated there is no other way to be certain that the patch was able to do its job properly.
Now tell me, who has more time to develop the code to test or exploit a vulnerability. An admin who has plenty to keep them busing without the patches, or black hat who wants to break in?
I can't see that the new TLD's make things
any better. Supposedly we need more TLD's because
all the good ones are gone, but does having
somecompany.com and somecompany.biz being entirely
different organisations make life any easier for
anyone?
Aside from making registrars money and ICANNBUTYOUCANT look like they actually do something constructive, all it does is confuse
users and make life easier for squatters.
I think this would have to do more with McDonalds choices about where to invest in the first place than the effect of having a McDonalds stores in the first place.
Most businesses will avoid risk whenever possible, and there's not too many things more risky to your investments than an armed conflict.
If there looks like even the remotest chance of conflict, you can bet any business will rule out putting their money there.
Hey, look how Wall Street reacts to even the faintest bit of bad news.
I remember far too many students like this from school. Kids who were smart enough to do extremely well but had reason or desire to. I was one of them.
Most of what they were teaching was of little interest to me, the only subjects I put any effort into were Chemistry and English Lit (apart from Dickens - I'm not saying his work was without merit, just that I found it tedious). The rest i had no difficulty comprehending, and so did only enough to not fail.
The school had computers, but didn't teach anything using them. Aside from a couple who decided to learn for themselves how to program, they were mainly used as dust collectors.

I tried to load msn from Lynx and got the same error message!
