There will no money in collecting 10,000 MPH space trash until someone it sued because they didn't clean it up. Humans (or Ferengi) do nothing unless there is profit.
I think one of the reasons Chrome is affecting Firefox is the "Shiny new toy syndrome" and FF lack of willingness to support business needs. If using Chrome becomes as "cool" as it was when Firefox started, then Firefox will be in trouble.
On the business needs side, Firefox is still stalling on: -an official MSI package for Windows platform (BTW: If FF MSI cannot auto-update, corps will love it more. It's a control thing...) -official, built-in, GPO support -official, built-in automated add-on installation
If you fly enough, cancer will kill you. Smart terrists would just go in as a pilot or ground crew to cause planes to crash. Smarter ones would just avoid planes like everybody else.
"Windows: moving the Users directory" Wouldn't copying the C:\users folder to your SSD and mounting it at C:\users on the real HD as the junction point be the way to do it?
The OS shouldn't care, NTFS would be doing the "smoke and mirrors" stuff
Doesn't matter. In a few months Java could taste like expensive bitter coffee from Starbucks for Companies Because anything Java will cost Big $ because it's from Oracle.
Oracle has not shown any *affection* for anything they got from Sun other than Patents. Unless you work there AND know different, I would GTFO. Handing out pink slips seems to cost more than watching the people leave.
BTW: is Oracle hiring for Solaris,OpenOffice or Java positions? If not it proves my point.
I bet if Chrome had an MSI package, an "IE Tab" extension and a was to install extensions remotely, FF will be locked-out of corps and IE would finally die.
It seems Mozilla is waffling between using Wix (to get a TRUE MSI package) and just using MSI as a wrapper. Meanwhile nobody on the outside cares which way they swing.

On the JavaScript side, however, FF is doing pretty good lately: http://arewefastyet.com/

Canada is a lemming when it comes to things like this.

I once asked some anti-pollution group to find me a riding lawn mower that had *some* anti-pollution controls.
I never got a call back.

Because anything Java will cost Big $ because it's from Oracle.
If Java is poison for Android then Java is poison for every one.
Apple didn't want to worry about explaining things to *smart* consumers if they ask: Is that the phone/computer with that Bad Java thing on it?
This way they can say: "No, we don't include Java"

My problem is that in the news they will say Candidate A won with 40% of the vote.
They NEVER mention that 20% or 30% of the votes were invalid, etc.
RE: Any government elected under such circumstances cannot be considered legitimate.
This is why you NEVER see how many ballots were wasted along with the election results.
Even Joe-Six-Packs will see that there is a problem with the options to choose from or the system.
Instead we have "Democracy by obscurity".

Profits!
They already use lawyers and Congress to "engage" their customer base. why do it directly?
Their true customers are the shareholders of the companies that are member of the MAFIAA, not consumers.
Thank you Google for the fragmentation.
I've see some posts of users claiming *they* upgraded to 2.2 without waiting for their MFR to lockdown their own.
Can you brick the Phone if you try to upgrade to 2.2?
It needs to be off-planet to see better.
Place it on the moon, in one of the 2 LaGrange points, in orbit, or where ever it makes $en$e.
Because right now we have next to nothing and this currently popular "manage by crisis" management style will do nothing to help.

The Firefox "MSI bug" is now 6 years old.

Wouldn't some of the HW features stop working?
Where are my Mod points when I need them!
Why not use IE frame extension in FF?
Use FF and when you need to use the "multi-million dollar black hole ERP" web app, it switches to using IE's rendering engine in a FF tab.
Or am I being too optimistic?
