I don't think we should install firefox until we can get it to autoupdate
It does.
maybe not until it's controllable by GP
Interesting project for the FF people, damn sure MS won't implement it until the Styx becomes icebound despite this.
Maybe IE will become somewhat secure before that happens.
Maybe if you leave enough teeth under your pillow, they will get swapped for negotiable cash overnight.
We need to disable ActiveX in group policy
This will kill some idiot PHB's favourite site and thus get rejected within a few days. If you force everyone but the idiot PHB(s) in question to use FireFox, and firewall their machines to within an inch of their lives, that will reduce your exposure.
...and you'll see that their default search engine (on a screenshot advertising MSN Search) is Google. Ta-dish boom. Even for advertising bozos, that move really is dumber than a rock.
Two cars parked on the side of Mitchell Freeway northbound lane in Osnborne Park, one having obviously shunted the other... but with the detached front bumper and number plate of a third absent vehicle embedded in the rear-most car's back bumper.

I have a number of friends who are bent, and I get along fine with them (well... most of them, one or two a really in-your-face about it and that's seriously annoying), but the actual concept of wet posterior swordplay is quite nauseating and I'd be highly disinterested in being unexpectedly dumped in front of pictures of it or blokes obviously prepared for it.
I asked in carefully neutral terms, and this also matches the considered opinion of my 14 yo daughter.
There's quite a gap between toleration and participation.
Yeah, it does look like a Citreon D-series...

Take this one, for example, mirror it horizontally and clone the wheels. Look familiar? (-:
Any decent highschool debater ought to be point out the gaping logical holes in, say, irreducible complexity.
They tried. It didn't work. However, some of the attempts were evidently informative, as his later works take some pains to head off the same old objections.
I guess he figures that in spending an extra thousand words doing that, he might save having to give a thousand of the same reply to armchair experts. (-:
Sorry, BTW, if anyone' awaiting a reply elsewhere, things are kind of busy right now.
Greenland dumped over 200m of ice on the famous "frozen squadron" of WW2 planes in less than 50 years, equals more than 4m a year in relatively boring conditions, also on a continent which definitely doesn't get 4m a year of preciptation. So I'd be looking askance at what the precipitation figures really mean. Ross Ice Shelf is also disntegrating in a matter of decades, and I really don't see why there should be a big difference between disintegration and integration speeds.
Back to your main point, many Creation models have an Ice Age or series of ice ages immediately post-Deluge. It would be a more-or-less natural consquence of widespread hypercanes. Plenty of ice to go around.
You seem to have a relatively quiet Deluge in mind, but again all serious Creationist models postulate events which would tear up and lay down several kilometers of rock and soil in a very short space of time (minutes to weeks), plus very rapid tectonic events. This implies that our world isn't the same shape as when it started, and indeed a world with considerably more than 1/3 land mass seems quite likely.
The entire geological zone around Lake Titicaca, for example, has been tilted several times, leading to slanted fossil shorelines many tens of m high (and presumably low at the other end). Yet conventional geology has no place for the kind of near-historical tectonics which *must* have occurred to produce this residue. This is but one example which demonstrates that orthodox geology (or at least conclusions based on the research done by) is badly wrong. What remains to be argued is how badly wrong. Precious few conventional geologists will even question the geological canon lest they be branded Creationist and excommunicated from the profession, so we're not likely to see any progress there for a while - but perhaps there is another J Harlan Bretz in the making as I type.
...the Registry was and is a big hole, but as a peer-poster says, "big dobs of stupid". Lots of compromise architecting to make WOW work, etc.
VMS was (is) able to be secured to genuine high military levels with one configuration change. NT and children, with much work, can be certifiably secured only at the lowest levels and with ridiculous hardware configurations. The details in between are arguable, the results are not.
Similar story with MS SQL Server. Jim Gray from Digital Equipment Corporation (and I think the leaders at the Cotton Mill kind of lost the plot about 5 years before this) boosted a very lackluster corruption of Sybase to quite resonable performance, and it's been struggling to maintain that ever since. The wonder technology was not Microsoft's; their contribution was to ship it, including embedded, with a *NULL* administrator password and to leave FoxPro to whither on the vine.
Ditto again for MS Access - the wonder technology that made JET usable was bought from (with) Fox Software, not home grown. Despite leaving it to whither while they strapped and bolted evey turbo technology they could lay hand on to Access, despite an archaic underlying table format (a legacy of dBase compatibility) FoxPro still eats Access's lunch.
In each case, Microsoft took a good technology and tried to make it suck, with varying degrees of success.
Were the US a traditional Communist system, bribes would be paid to the appropriate officials or their relatives and the government would just ban you. The effect is the same, although the mechanism is different - and that's the giveaway.
It's just plain, ordinary, boring greed.
It works the same way everywhere, in every system. Yes, including anarchies and Anarchies.
...but I guess they view it as a premptive/defensive measure. No surprise to see Microsoft or Sony on there, and Apple seems to be hell-bent on trying to play with the big boys.
Have you ever faced Rover over a 64kb link? No? Well, I can assure you that the idjuts in MS who thought him up haven't either, 'coz if they did, they'd've realised that the dopy dog soaks up all of the available bandwidth, to the extent that you can't get rid of it because you can't keep focus on the controls long enough to disable him. All you can hope to achieve is to shut down the offending app - for your convenience.
Reading between the lines, neither Mr You Made My Wife Leave Me nor the other "homeless man" defendent were worth squat. I fail to see the point in fining someone who has no money. I also wonder about the publicity damage which would accrue from a gold company suing a homeless man. Sure, they're erratic dimwits, but there's not exactly a world shortage of same, and you can't go suing every derelict who abuses you or you'd never get any work done. AFAICT, there's 100% meatheads on both sides of the fence.
NT's architecture used to be reasonably secure, when it was a blatant "spelling error compatible" ripoff of Digital Equipment Corporation's MICA derivative of VMS. However, once it fell into Microsoft's hands it left those glory days far, far behind it.
Don't offer any shares, even to the LAN (get people to dump stuff elsewhere on the LAN and you pick it up from there), connect to the minimum number of shares (zero if possible) and for the shortest reasonable time.
One more option: if you have a modern Linux box around, throw LogicWave at WINE on that and see how far it gets. If it doesn't work outright, maybe you can hack up an interface to the actual analyser in WINE. That'd be a lot of effort for one workstation, but if you have 20 or so it might be worthwhile.

Well spotted, that arab! So it is true that y'all invented Algebra? (-:
...then carefully remove as much Microsoft software from your machine as possible.
Start with MSIE and MS Outlook, then MS-Office (replace them with FireFox, ThunderBird and OpenOffice, respectively). Really dig in and make sure every trace of them has been removed, don't stop at believing what the MS uninstaller tells you about MS Outlook.
Don't offer any shares, even to the LAN (get people to dump stuff elsewhere on the LAN and you pick it up from there), connect to the minimum number of shares (zero if possible) and for the shortest reasonable time.
Run a good firewall.
Pray a lot.
