That's because the Repubs have been paid off by the big boys. They no longer represent you or me, they really represent corporate interests which have been bought out by all of that lobbyist money. They even managed to modify lobbying and financing laws to allow international companies to buy them off. To see how bad "your" representative has been bought off go here
I guess you haven't been following the rulings by SCOTUS. This has been the most atrocious court in our entire history. Let me sum it up for you on how they vote.
Company vs people, company wins
Government vs people, government wins
Company vs government, company wins.
I use the service from http://www.countryipblocks.net/ to create rules in my firewalls to just block out China, Korea, an Russia. This cuts down significantly the hacking attempts on my servers. Its time to reject buying anything "Made in China" to show them that this kind of behavior is unacceptable.
Micro$hit has no leg to stand on getting upset about this. For a long time, Micro$hit has been adding their own security challenged.NetCrap plugins into Firefox without the user's permission. They even go to great lengths to prevent you from removing these plugins. Even when you do, the next time you update, you get the same junk installed. Google is now taking a page out or MicroShit's own play book. If Micro$hit can do this, why can't Google do it?
Actually, Microsoft has a similar thing. It's called Windows Easy Transfer . I recently upgraded a network of 30 XP computers to new Windows 7 machines in under a day, with all the files moved to their right places after the upgrade. You install this software on the old machine and save files and settings to a network share or external device. Install a new machine or upgrade the old and then use the same software to restore your files and settings. The one failure of this sofware is that it doesn't handle version changes of software very well. The old machines had Office XP while the new ones had Office 2010. Not all of the Office XP settings came through, but I took care of that with a couple of group policies.
I'm sorry, but I have not seen even a glimmer of this from Dell. Just look at all of the people complaining about the vendor lock-in that their H700 controllers impose. You cannot use any third-party drives, you must use the Dell rebranded drives (that are really the same product just with a label change) at a significant markup. I will not buy any server that does this nonsense, and I would not recommend Dell to any custormer. Vendors that treat their customers like they are stupid deserves to go out of business.
That's not what is happening here. What's really happening is that the last 12 years of giving the rich tax breaks and giving them free money has caused them to be even more greedy. Instead of reinvesting that money in America, they fired all their American workers and closed down the American factories and opened new ones in China. They started off saying that only the low-skilled work will be moved, to where they are now moving engineering and higher level skills. And they are trying to hide that they are doing this. Just look at IBM recently saying that they will stop reporting employee levels by country. The rich don't care if they destablize America and get a little dirty working with a dictatorship because the were already dirty making their money in the US. The movement of jobs doesn't indicate that people don't care about these jobs, it shows that the rich have no allegance to any country and are killing America for greed. Plain and simple.
And has been actively dodging its responsibilities to the community it lives in and depends on. Just another big corporation crapping on the common man.
They actually have modified the Constitution, they just don't call them amendments. The Patriot Act, DMCA and now ACTA are all designed to take away rights that the Constitution provides. Many sections of the Patriot Act violate the Constitution directly, yet in all the passing years, there hasn't been a successful challenge to it. Both the Dems and Reps have figured out that they can pass any onerous law without scrutiny by going down this road. Just look at whats going on with ACTA right now.
Agreed it can be modified. But lets be honest. How many IIS websites do you think have really spent the time and effort to modify this file properly? In the MS world, most site administrators just accept the defaults and then merrily go on. If MS truly wants IIS to succeed regardless of what browser I'm using, it would at least fill this file with more accurate info than it does. Instead, they cripple IIS (for other browsers) and showcase IE's proprietary features, yet they can't even be bothered to even compete on the ACID tests. The last time I ran ACID3 in IE it gave a 20/100.
I guess you really haven't done any development using IIS. You should look at the browsercap.ini file in IIS. As delivered by Microsoft, it treated Firefox as a very inferior browser compared to IE. You had to perform some serious hacking to this file in order to bring up the capablities to something reasonable. And even then IIS didn't treat Firefox the same. Let's face it, using IIS basically forced IE on the client. Plain and simple.
Wake on lan for one. I've been using FreeNAS for awhile, and it's been pretty good. The only sticking point for me has been the WOL features which has been a big sore spot in FreeBSD. Having a NAS that I can't wake up remotely is a big disadvantage considering who the target audience for this software is.
The FCC is currently doing a full review of the telecomminications policy for Internet neutrality. I caught some of these sessions on CSPAN with Verizon coming up roses. I'm sure the FCC would be quite interested in knowing that Verizon is not the good network citizen that it claims it is. Here's the FCC link to file.
It has documentation templates from a now defunct site called networkdna.org
I use these documents to document the various client networks that I'm responsible for, and they work quite well. You can modify these to fit your own needs.
I do this all the time, and I have never been refused. Usually the POS doesn't display the signature to the cashier for validation, just that you've entered something and clicked OK. I've actually stopped using credit cards as much as posible (only for web purchases, and big ticket items). For those companies that ask for a phone number,I don't argue with them. I just give them a fake number (usually a porn site etc). Bad data is more expensive than no data. If everyone would do this, it would reduce the incentive for companies to do this. I then stop shopping at these stores. I haven't bought anything from a Radio Shack in over a decade.
Not necessarily true. PGP allows you to sign with multiple keys. Each site would have their own key that they would use to decrypt the file. One file, multiple keys, multiple users. Simple.
I'll go one better. Just look at the teachers union. Every place where the teachers union is strong, the schools suck. Can't even fire a teacher accused of sexual assault. In NY and in San Francisco, they have rubber rooms where teachers that are unqualified to work, yet can't be fired have to show up. These teachers get paid to sit on their ass all day and do nothing. Many times for years on end. In Detroit, 50% of teens drop out and do not graduate. All thanks to the teachers union.
Whenever a Democrat gets a chance, he'll impose yet another tax. Democrats rob the middle class to waste on the poor. Republicans rob the middle class and send our jobs overseas. Either way America is done for by these crappy politicians.
Better yet, write iexplorer.exe to call firefox.exe. That's what I do. Any attempts to call IE either through a shortcut, or from within an application (Quickbooks does the same. It's more adware than the latest Office) will cause Firefox to fire.
I do everything you do. But, I go one step further. I have created a bunch of HTML files that I copy to their local drive. I then change the home page, both of the user and the Default User to point to these files. These files give a warning that using IE is hazardous to the health of their machine and as to why Firefox is the right browser to use. I then have a link on the page that they can click to fire up Firefox. This way, if they do figure out a way to run IE, they are warned not to use it.

Or how about that GE paid more for lobbying Congress than it did for taxes!
Take a look at http://wpkg.org/. It can handle updates without needing AD.

Use IBM Symphony http://symphony.lotus.com/ . It is based upon Open Office but IBM has added a few of it's own features to it.

It plays very well and is somewhat hard to beat.

Take a look at delegates. They are objects that point to methods. They may not be as easy as just passing a pointer, but they do get the job done.
