Meanwhile, you get relentless articles in the papers from "thinkers" telling you that people need to get over their hangups, that there's nothing wrong with renting a home your entire life, and that you shouldn't worry about owning your own home.
Or if you don't want to pay for Reflector, you can use ILSpy (a free and open source.NET Decompiler), dotPeek (free, from the markers of Resharper), or JustDecompile (free, from Telerik).
Trivial to a techie, yes. But newer versions of browsers display warning messages so dire you'd forgive the user for immediately logging off and cowering under the desk.
Frankly the only reason that corporates that deploy these include the CA in the policy that they apply to their machines (keyword: not your machines) is because browser vendors have made it next to impossible to access sites if the chain of trust is broken, so the only option left is to inject into the chain of trust.
And also, we should probably address the statement that fructose is one of the most harmful things in your diet. Considering the lion's share of your fructose intake is derived from (drumroll please)... fruit - cutting it out would be bad. Arguably, galactose is worse.
Basically, the refactor tools are sub-par (admittedly without Resharper so are Visual Studio's, but at least you actually CAN extend Visual Studio). Support for languages beyond the blessed Apple few are non-existent (Visual Studio allows plugging in support for additional languages). The IDE itself is completely unintuitive, and you have to change the same setting in WAY too many places (that's assuming you can even find the setting you need to change). It also loads large projects muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch slower than Visual Studio does (I think it indexes shit on every load or something).
Well, yes, I can imagine Finnish piracy laws don't do much to protect consumer privacy. It's a bit like trying to use murder legislation to prosecute someone for stealing a loaf of bread.
Bullshit. Corporations are collections of people. Replacing the people changes the corporation by definition. Why not just stop acting like a judgemental twat for 30 seconds and see what the new CEO does with the place? If in a year everything's the same, well, so be it.
You don't have to go back for more abuse. But you could at least stand on the sidelines and observe with something resembling detachment. You're just proving Scott's point that you act like Microsoft killed your dog or something, and refuse to believe there's any possibility that the new leadership could ever make changes.
I'll give you that. Unfortunately, Netscape began to suffer from the same thing that everyone accuses Microsoft of doing - getting an almost monopoly, then stagnating.
Actually, many employers have a legal obligation to collect data, for example public records legislation for public sector or sarbanes-oxley for private sector. They don't have the right not to.
And, more importantly, there may be a legal need (public records legislation for public sector, SarbOx for private sector) why they must retain that information.
Internet Explorer is actually licensed from Spyglass, under a revenue share agreement (Spyglass didn't realise Microsoft intended to give it away) not Netscape.
And frankly, Netscape was kind of shit. IE4 was legitimately the better browser at the time. The fact that other browsers moved on in the face of the competition and innovated does not change this.
It's possible. Liking Apple products doesn't preclude realising that Visual Studio is by far and away miles ahead of Xcode, which is actually kind of shit.
No, the shell does not rely on IE any more than KDE relies on Konqueror. The shell relies on Trident the same way KDE relies on KHTML. Browser != renderer.
I certainly do think it would be a bad thing. Private enterprise seems notoriously short sighted at times, and often misses the chance for long term profit at the expense of short term loss - GPS way back would have been a massive expense for almost no gain, and no private company would have even given it a second thought - now look at the amount of profit generated by it!

It's not a hack, nor is it an attack.

Then don't check your bank and 401k from work. Job done.
Except that Google forces all search to HTTPS, so even searching the internet for work-related stuff becomes impossible.
Ah. Thank you for the correction, good to know.

Sucrose, not Sucralose. Sucralose is a brand of artificial (phenylalanine-based) sweetener.
I said "kind of shit". It's not completely shit.

Not at all. They're both IDEs, for general development.

Well, in all fairness, FDISK actually mistakes OS/2 HPFS partitions for NTFS partitions, so that's something?
Meanwhile, you spend your days insisting that said ex cannot possibly change, and refusing to believe there's even a possibility. You are no better.
Honest truth? IE4. But then it stagnated to shit for the next 15 years while the newer competitors (Opera, Firebird/Firefox) moved on.
No, Netscape Navigator was not good.

Yes, and private companies wouldn't bother doing unprofitable things like exploring space, either.
All Technogym gear does. You can tell from when they randomly kernel panic and take 20 minutes to reboot and start XWM.
