Sorry you feel that screaming into the Internet is going to fix anything. The post is meant to highlight the pointlessness of such actions. At the same time, I don't entirely disagree with your sentiment, just your execution.
If you have a static IP from Comcast, at least on their Business Class service, you're required to rent one of their shitty routers. Your options are as follows, with my subjective observations on each:
Cisco DPC3941:
++ Wireless performance seemed to be quite good.
++ IPv6 works
++ Fairly decent configurability for business purposes
+- Occupies the last IP on your subnet for reasons I couldn't easily ascertain.
-- Imparts seemingly rhythmic, but generally erratic, latency (1-100 msec) on packets that traverse it. (This is why we binned it; we went through two of them.)
-- Slowest web interface I had ever seen on a router until I had the misfortune of getting AT&T's branded PACE 5268AC router at home for 1gbit fiber
-- Random reboots, some of which were Comcast pushing updates in the middle of the day
-- Takes almost 5 minutes to come back after a restart.
-- No support for truly useful things on a corporate network like SNMP, LACP, or VLAN
SMC D3G:
++ Small
++ Seems highly reliable, for most purposes
+- No wireless. (not a problem)
+- Doesn't support higher (150mbit/s+) speed classes
-- Hopelessly broken IPv6 support
-- Web interface cocks up after about a week, and can't be fixed without restarting
-- Very little useful configurability in a business environment, e.g. reserved IP leases based on MAC
-- No support for truly useful things on a corporate network like SNMP, LACP, or VLAN
Some outdated Netgear turd (CG3000DCR, i think):
++ Never had to use one myself.
++ They replaced it with a Netgear router that seems to suck less
+- They replaced it with a Netgear router
-- Had to support one "back in the day"
-- It ever existed
Some newer Netgear turd ("N300", actually WNR2000)
++ Never had to use one.
Boot note:
Also had these fuckwits do a mass change of 'cusadmin' passwords to something that the router's web interface would not allow you to enter in the 'old password' field to change it. Congratulations, idiots, on forcing all of your business customers (who don't know you can get around this by JavaScript fiddlings) to use the same widely distributed password. Basically, stop screwing with your customer's stuff; also, get some real user-configurable routers.
I'd like to see an article that highlights the percentage of millenials (specifically, for the sake of sanity, aged 18-34) who appear to believe that the term is reserved for berating people younger than them. From my own subjective observations, it seems that people in the 28-34 bracket have a much higher tendency to exempt themselves from it, while simultaneously applying it to people only slightly younger than them.
Full disclosure, I'm 30-ish, and don't find the label bothersome.
Just think of all the fun someone could have on a thousand+ user application server -_____- Hopefully Microsoft will actually patch this, instead of continuing the trend of shitting on Win7/8 users in an effort to encourage them to move to 10.
Similar reasons to why I avoided Firefox 64-bit builds for ages. Nothing like giving an application full of memory leaks the ability to use an effectively arbitrary amount of RAM. Chrome/Chromium sidestepped this issue with their multi-process model, allowing them to flood memory on 32-bit only systems.
Culling legitimately useful, unique features and attempting to emulate the user interface design of your competition... great plan. Written using Firefox 45 ESR, which will probably be my last normal-use Firefox version. It was nice while it lasted. Off to PaleMoon land for plugin support, I guess.
I'd say their more assaulted by black lung, cave-ins, fires, and general pollution. The number of people desiring coal for any reason other than 'jobs' is likely very small.
I wouldn't be so quick to say he'll 'honor' theses comments; his mind is made up, and his decisions will be the same, regardless. Unfortunately, this gives them an excuse.
I guess someone just wants this to stay in the news churn. Probably for the best, big companies deserve most everything they get when they pull employee/consumer-hostile moves:

If we'd have done the right thing, and voted Regressive, we wouldn't be having these kinds of issues.

Seemed to work for me without elevation on Windows 7, using a user in the sole group "Users"
Try echo a > c:\$mft\derp I may be wrong, but something like type c:\$mft\derp does not seem to do anything.
Just SSH in, kill X and reload your kernel modules. It's not elitist at all to assume that every user knows this trick.
I'm full of those today, apparently.

Just wait until you go try to shutdown or logoff.. lockups and BSODs await you!

Holy crap Woosh xD I get it now.
I should've qualified, that the intended target is more or less Mozilla as a whole, not any specific person.
taskkill /f /im firefox.exe is almost always the last thing written in my Windows "run" box.

A very crusty source of 'news'.
Defeatist attitude is defeatist; not trying is what 'they' want, whoever 'they' may be.

Force OCR-A on everyone now; this'll make it easier for our new robotic overlords to interpret our welcomings...
Guess someone didn't have a second person available for control...
