Setup a Citrix box (or equivalent) for running IE6 and use whatever transparent technology to make it seamless for the users of that ONE web app.
You can then move on, free from the security issues still lurking in IE6. You are also free to upgrade to Windows 7 without using the Virtual XP feature which would double the number of windows PCs you'd need to patch.
I did laugh at this but if you think about it, WinAmp's built-in web browser is IE.
Pretty much anything that need a quick and dirty web browser or uses.NET will end up calling on mshtml.dll which is IE. Some apps use IE for there GUI but hide it well like QuickBooks 2007 and up.
I love to preach to not use IE but in the end you must upgrade to IE 8 or else you risk inadvertently using IE and getting yourself exposed just by running apps.
Re:Software patents on video codecs didn't start with H.264. MPEG-1 was patented, so was MPEG-2. Royalties were sought in both cases. That didn't stop free and open source encoders and decoders from being produced, and nobody got sued or shut down.
Back then DMCA was not in existence and ATCA was something the RIAA and MPAA would dream about and forget the next morning. Once ACTA comes to life, They will find a way to kill VLC and anyone who dares to slowdown their cash flow.
This started when it was deemed unpatriotic to question the actions of your country or president. With that, all American news organizations lost there backbone to "offend people that are hiding something".
does an aspiring American rocket scientist try to find work in China or hope to get one of the few jobs with Space X, Scaled Composites, or Virgin Galactic?
Yes. and history repeats itself, somewhat. When Canada stupidly canceled and destroyed the AVRO Arrow (so that nobody could compare it to the crap we bought instead), the engineers moved to the states to help build a rocket capable to go to the moon. Granted the Constellation project is no AVRO, but I'm sure the engineers would love a project manager/administration with balls, enthusiasm and ambition vs. a pile of short-sited bean counters.
Face it. ACTA will only make 2 groups of people: -Those care to get a product that is sold as legit is legit. (eg. Those who want a REAL Rolex watch for $5000 not a FAKE one for $5000) -Corps that want to make $ at all cost. (cost=Life, liberty, health, happiness, family, progress, etc.)
You must have a lot of pull or have a competent PHB. Most places that start to consider FF stop when they find out there is no MSI *created by* the makers of FF.
You can get GPOs and pre-built MSI for FF but again, NOT by the makers of FF.
But this will soon be moot. When Google *does* release an MSI for Chrome, FF will not be able to get into Corps because by then it will be too late. Wake-up Mozilla!
GTFO! This was being done at a company I worked at that went tits-up 1y later. Try or think about consulting. At least, get your resume up-to-date so that it one less thing to worry about.
It was probably about getting OOXML to become an ISO standard that only MS could comply with...
"In order to gain ISO approval, Microsoft needed to garner the requisite number of “P” votes, and the influx of many new “P” voting members, most of whom were in favour of OOXML, was striking."
Your issues with NTFS timestamps are related to NTFS using UTC (Greenwich time) for timestamps. Therefore every time you go to (and from) Daylight Savings Time (DST) all your timestamps get changed by one hour!
You create a CD/DVD/tape backup and the timestamps are frozen but on the HD NTFS will change them. If you move your server to a new timezone ==> NTFS will changes timestamps when you change the timezone setting on the server.
Q: Is NTFS the only file system with this wonderful work-creating feature?

The tax paying public.
(I guess that leaves out the rich folks that can afford tax avoidance specialists.)
Don't you mean MS' flavour of HTML5
and MS' flavour of SVG?
We can't convince them of the dangers of asteroid collisions so how the FSCK are they going to believe about this.
They didn't believe about the dangers of Solar storms in 1989 so why would they buy it now?

dynamic disks is a disk partitioning scheme that is incompatible with regular disk partitions.

IOW: Don't use them unless you absolutely need a certain feature.
Maybe you should create a feature request for it and get some of you friends in Academia to vote for it.
Hint: I did a search for Bibtxt in Issues and the whole OO site and found no mention of this file format.
So the question is: Does OpenOffice support
-the bought and approved ISO standard OOXML
Or
-The OOXML that MS' own Office programs create?
My guess is the latter since nothing supports the first.
What, what?
Punish politicians for creating bad laws!!
Somebody! Quick! Patent this idea so that it cannot be implemented!

Correct.
MS' OOXML file format is different from the ISO/IEC 29500 OOXML file format that MS bought.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ooxml#Application_support
MS will either have to change Office or buy yet another ISO standard to have a product that creates ISO compliant files!
For now, when you go for MS' lunch special, it's a white elephant on the menu.

2010: DIVE! DIVE!
It's free, come and get it
2016: Up periscope. Look there's someone using it without paying the $799/Stream licensing fee.

looks like a ambush in slow-motion.

I know most IP6 fan will say that you don't need them but you just know when the smoke clears Joe customer will still get ONE Address.
Besides, most IP-enabled toys wont like IP6 (Wii, VOIP boxes, etc.)

If they give them all TV sets that should be enough to pacify enough of them so that revolts don't happen.
It works great in developed countries.

We are forced to use 128-bit encryption for online banking!
I wouldn't
the MAFIAA would slip in some copy-Protection

GTFO!

Wouldn't they need to peer with someone?
If so, then that peer should become the new target for shutdown requests.
Am I right?
