Why choose the lesser of two evils? We should have another choice on all ballots. The last option to appear should simply say, NONE OF THE ABOVE! That way you don't have to be 'informed' (which I read as brainwashed). This way you can go to the poles, vote NONE OF THE ABOVE and tell everyone that you did your civic duty. It's nobody's business who you voted for, so long as you voted. If enough people voted NONE OF THE ABOVE, then none of the lesser evils would be elected and we can try again with different candidates. It would take longer, but we would get lesser evils each time, wouldn't we?
Have you ever tried to use Firefox exclusively?
Lots of web pages don't allow Firefox to download items that will download in IE. The web pages sometimes even tell you that you must use IE to download stuff. This is where MS is creating the problems that only they can solve. Just like when folks download videos - in my opinion, MPEG is the best format for Internet videos and always has been. Problem is, when web site designers use some form of MS video garbage it almost never works in Firefox. Also, if Quiketime or REAL is used for video, Firefox often doesn't know what to do with the videos.
It seems like another attempt by MS and Billie to monopolize something else - when will they learn?
All that money and no brains is very dangerous!
Companies like Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk, Macromedia(now owned by Adobe), and more, naturally want you to BUY their product. That's the entire focus of their companies. If they would focus on quality, compatibility, intuitiveness and distribution, then the products would improve exponentially and prices would drop.
That's why Open Source is important. The focus is on the product, not on the sales. Obsession for money stifles imagination and creativity.
So, do you care about profits or productivity?
