It depends on the organizational culture also, though. At the University where I work, it all started with a few co-workers that tried the 1.0 FF. It spread, slowly, so that now even the non-tech-savy users have and use FF.
Change resistance is also a factor: people are afraid not of the change but of the consequences of the change itself. IANAW (webmaster) but imagine the code you`d have to rewrite if the management decides to switch to FF. All those pages that worked only with IE now have to be compatible.
The majority of the ppl will not read a REVIEW of a BROWSER. Period. People will however listen to the informal leaders, the trendsetters.
So, FF will spread slowly like any other technology, and there will always be at least 15% of the population who will not adopt it.
I used it to make a poster i needed to to for a psychology convention in september. To all you bashers here (i am no techno freak) the learning curve was absolutely great, the results more than pleasing (i printed on A0) and i will return to Draw whenever the chance...oh and i almost lol'ed here: it costs nada.
Sure it won't compete with professional editing, but 95% of the sample here is no professional editor. So it kinda suits....
While IQ is theoretically justified, EQ is just a bunch of big crap for people to believe in and to make some BIG bucks:
EQ "tests" were validated with samples that are NOT available to scientific scrutiny. The samples are property of a company (forgot the name), and are not being released on basis of intellectual property. All of you people, who read that EQ tests are valid and read the validation scores - must take them as they are - you will not be able to check them personally.
Replication studies have been made, and not a few of them:- none - NONE - have been succesful. Yet people still believe this crap.
EQ is defined by the psychologists who use this concept as the ABILITY to understand other's reactions and actions, act upon them in accordance. They say this ability is LEARNED: (otherwise they wouldn't make a penny). Ok, so we now take the 10th grade psychology book and look at keywords as ability, learning and look, we find the term: SKILL not EQ! We already have a word for this!
EQ is being sold as THE next best thing in seminars and coaching workshops because they 'predict' success. Not true, but this is not what i can say about IQ: though definitions may differ - the concept remains and IQ is the predictor for things such as (and these are real): School success, a big part of work performance and a bunch of other stuff.
OK; rant off!!!:)
"others see the electronic probing as the work of other hackers simply using Chinese networks to disguise the origins of the attacks.".
Clever, but i think it is the Chinese making us believe that the hackerz are American that use Chinese networks in order for us to believe that that Chinese are behind this crap.

how is this redundant? it is the first comment!
I did too. Patent = Patient and Phonographic = Pornographic. Try reading "Phonographic Patent". It's very confusing.
