    If it does not do what you need then, yes.
    Believing the built in one is the only one, yes. Not finding a solution to a business need, yes. All of those would make you incompetent.

    If you need gmail guess what you do?

    It depends on what your company needs. In mine not providing firefox and all those addons would lead me to the unemployment line.

    Securing IE is easy if you are not using it. Point it to a proxy that does not exist.

    There are addons to manage most if not all browsers. Nor are GPOs the only way to do this.

    What you are really saying is incompetent admins can easily do these things with IE so they use it.

    Sure, but when the widget maker decides the widget waste is cheaper to dump in the river than a proper way, the market does not correct this since the widget maker can afford PR and filter for his water.

    No.

    If what is good for me is to kill you and take your stuff, that is bad for you and the group. Each individual acts for his own best, he might not get that. Like when I kill you and take your stuff, before you take mine.

    Your first line proves you can't be impartial.
    Third party cookies are a huge privacy issue. Alternative methods to track are not something anyone was forced to do. Advertisers have no need to track users. they lacked that with old media and survived.

    Personally the law should step in and make this illegal.

    Also please take Bill Hick's advice at your earliest convenience.

    How is that different than Free/libre software or commercial projects?

    The ad industry has lots of money and bribes developers of all kinds, or at least tries too.

    I would love to see an organization like wikipedia take over a browser. Let them do their once a year fundraiser. They could block whatever they like out of the box.

    I never said it was difficult to do so. I said it was difficult to do so and get good gas mileage. Most cars that size do not get 15mpg at 80mph. Your wagon sounds a good but smaller.

    Actually many ICE cars cannot support their full load for much more than sprints. I have had several cars in which to do so you had to crank the heat to max, to cool the engine.

    Let's see some evidence for that.
    I find that pretty unlikely. To be clear, it must go 300+ miles on one tank when traveling at 130mph the entire time, save for the flat out sprint up to 130 at the start.

    Which means at 130mph you would not even get half that.

    No, I was trying to point out that current economic forces are externalizing some costs and therefore the market cannot act correctly.

    300 miles at 130mph?
    Let's see some citation for that.

    At 80mph you would be doing well to get 15mpg. Even then you would need a 20 gallon tank. At 130 you would be getting much worse mileage.

    Three words here:
    Felony Reckless Driving.

    If someone is caught doing those speeds on a public road marked for standard US speeds his car should be crushed, he should be billed for the service and his license revoked in perpetuity.

    How about a citation for that?
    Name one car that can go those distances at those speeds. Fuel economy suffers at these speeds pretty badly.

    Many common modern cars are limited below that. ~100mph is a pretty common cut off.

    A Porsche is not really a normal car, they are designed for enthusiasts.

    Citation?

    I believe it, but I bet it would be pretty close. Especially since the Tesla is way more aerodynamic than most saloons. At those speeds air resistance will be a major factor.

    No one said that.
    Nor does any gasoline car I know of do that.

    At those speeds air resistance becomes a real impediment to fuel economy.

    The Tesla has a range of 300 miles.
