You'd have to find a reason for those guys to get off their arses and support Firefox to the level that IE is
As someone who is "one of those guys" I take issue with this. The reason we use IE still is due to legacy programs requiring IE6. Now I hate IE6 more than anyone else in my building. As someone who has spent years developing websites, I know the terror of IE6. But I've had it explained to me that we can support 1 browser with our resources (fortunately the webteam aren't required to follow this policy for the external websites). It can be either IE or Firefox. Due to the fact we must support IE6 only programs, we must support IE.
The vendor has finally released upgrades that don't require IE6, they don't make these upgrades available for free. And even then, companies or government agencies moving to the latest greatest program immediately is a recipe for disaster. Instead its often better to remain a version or two behind the latest developments, in order to minimise the number of bugs that will affect the system. Meanwhile other departments are asking us to invest in these other amazing systems, that have IE as a requirement. But its all good, because we already use IE. Right?
So give IT a bigger budget with more staff members and more control over what programs are purchased, and I'm sure they'd be happy to support Firefox. Most of them are probably geeks, so they probably use Firefox when at home anyway.
More people believe in an omnipotent, omniscient being who lives on a plane inaccessible by the living. Now its quite possible all these people are wrong, but given how MANY believe in these mystical beings makes me wonder if perhaps they know something that I don't.
If you're willing to entertain the possibility of invisible beings who are able to exist for an eternity, some of whom have risen from the dead. Then ghosts are not only a small leap of logic, but are actually covered by the initial premise.
Looks like you no longer have freedom of movement. Without committing any crime, you have had your ability to travel freely upon public property impaired. If you don't give up constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, you aren't able to obtain certification to drive a road-worthy vehicle.
As far as I can tell, not many. But then again not many countries have a permanent industry of campaigning 24/7 (or if they do, there is only one organisation they're working for, and its honestly called a dictatorship).
This post proved to me I have no friggin clue how you're system works. The idea of voters registering for a particular party... What's to stop the next Hitler from gaining control and quietly killing everyone registered to the wrong party? Oh, I know. The corporations.
My government certainly isn't perfect. We also had almost a month between the polling booths closing and the winning party being sworn in. But this isn't actually a bad thing. It meant in the end everyone's vote truly did matter.
it might not be too much to ask for a candidate to have been at least in the top 5 or 10% in his classroom -- in order for them to understand the issues at least.
The fact you're the smartest in a class full of morons doesn't mean you're smart.

I will. I'm impressed with how much genuine info people have found. But so far it's only from slashdot posts.
Not me. Although to be truly anonymous I should refuse to answer so you give up looking once you think you've found me.
Not I I'm afraid.
Is David Davidson some celebrity or a completely random guess?
I would challenge people to find out where I live or work. I think anonymity is still alive for those who care.
You're correct. I can't believe they've brought back region locking. I'll be boycotting the 3DS completely based entirely on this.
And I was really looking forward to 3D gaming too :(

Three out of three IT employers in the last 5 years have sent me on training courses
Fat lot of good it did them. They trained you up and then you left shortly afterwards.
I'm inclined to just buy it from Amazon.

Actually, at the moment its more like the other way around.
We want him to finish the job damnit! It's inhumane to leave a wounded beast alive.
I brought you into this world so I can kill you. Only, in reverse.
Its okay. If elephants get wiped out we can wait a few centuries and then implant elephant embryos into mammoth's so they can get their revenge.
I liked the awesomebar from the start. I dislike the lack of status bar or the moving of my tabs. I've fixed both.
Right Click and deselect "Tabs on Top". Problem fixed.
This COULD have been fixed with a simple config option though. Why that wasn't made available is beyond me.
Ultimately I just downloaded Status-4-Evar. I think in the short-term this will become a favourite amongst geeks, while no-one else really notices.
I've seen quite a few web apps over the years. Long before the iPhone was invented.
Lead cannot be transformed into gold and you're a moron if you think otherwise. No experiment needed.
Except, you know, for the fact that it is possible.

Friends don't let friends watch Fox. Why the hell are you letting your mother watch it?
