This one single satellite actually does A HELL OF A LOT for you. Navigation? No Apart from its obvious use for testing, it is there to SECURE (secure=reserve NOT secure=make secure) the very frequencies the final system will use. When building a new global satellite positioning system, internationally reserving the frequency spectrum is generally considered to be A Good Thing(tm).
Not if all the gates were job-sharing a single job. In that case "Gates do good marketing job in Microsoft" is correct. I don't have any statistics to hand about the number of gates, doors or portals employed by Microsoft in a single job though, so your guess is as good as mine...
A nasty dirty bomb? Doesn't galavanting across the world firing armour piercing bullets and shells which are tipped with depleted uranium amount to the same as letting off a so called dirty bomb?
At least a dirty bomb has a single epicentre of effect which allows a cleanup to be focussed at that point. Every time a DU coated bullet or shell is fired a small cloud of DU dust is lost into the atmosphere, polluting the environment.
Ahh no - doesn't count though does it? 'Cos we are the good guys right?
This guy may be right in one sense - the download/install process could be more secure - but he is missing the point. How often do users download unsigned software? All the time. How often do users install this unsigned software? All the time? When is a security feature not a security feature? When no-one actually uses it.
This 'unsafe download' problem, while it is an issue, quite frankly pales into insigificance against a good deal of other security and usability issues.
This is a cheap FUD attempt to stop people installing Firefox and discovering its pros and cons for themselves.

Don't tell me - they are going to remotely deploy WinXP Service Pack 2 on the enemy's network?
Masterful...

I have a very bad feeling about this...
However, it would make a nasty dirty bomb.

Unfortunately it involves persuading your sysadmin to IMAP on the Exchange server.
IME sysadmins are scared enough of enabling features (esp. on M$ products like Exchange) at the best of times.
Doesn't give you full integration into outlook features like shared calendars either IIRC.
Practically everyone seems to be agreeing here.
Must be the Christmas spirit and goodwill.
