Do whatever is possible to make it IMpossible for users to install ANYTHING. Install pop-up blockers. That would be a start. And good luck with taking anything away from the end users, Glynn.
I'm in complete agreement with you regarding the climate change issue. I'm a little OCD about English usage is all:) When people write as if they are speaking, their writing usually becomes difficult to understand. And "seriously" is horribly overused these days.
When you need third party software to use it that adds to the piles off annoying stuff to maintain and configure. Before I knew I needed to use a serial port at work I bought a Thinkpad without one. The truly maddening thing is, the Thinkpad's mobo HAS a RS232 chip on it but there's no fricken serial port on the laptop! I think IBM made a serial port Ultrabay module for my R40 (yeah it's a dinosaur now) but I could never find one at a reasonable price.

Yeah, couldn't be due to mankind's actions though because we're all God's children. If carbon emissions could cause such devastation, God wouldn't have invented Hummers. Or something.
Damn good point. If you don't take the update, you might legally release Toyota from any further responsibility.
I have updated firmware on dozens of devices and systems over the years and only bricked one device, a Netgear router. I failed to follow the instruction to reset the device to factory defaults -before- applying the update.
Yeah. When I did tech support years ago I used to hear that a lot from customers who's hard drives had died. "My whole LIFE was on that computer!" Just how brainwashed can people become? Madison Avenue has turned us into zombies only instead of brains we want to consume electronics.
I sure hope it will. It really would suck if AMD died leaving Intel as supreme dictator. These days it would also mean that the government would be forced to bail out Intel if ever Intel got into financial trouble.
How about, "IE must die?" I know I'm being silly but still. All I ever use IE for is updating my WinXP virtual machine, which I keep around just in case my next gig requires it.

I got it! LULS
I just got it. Nice LUL!
So, why didn't it burn up? Not enough velocity? Not enough mass?

Zing!
Where are the usual MSFT ass lickers to shout you down? Oh, they're busy rebuilding their systems after the latest malware disaster. Heh.

What does, "because seriously" mean? Is that a sentence?
In what sense has all that coal, gas and oil been free?

ADM conspired with Japanese and European corporations to fix prices. I know it's true from watching The Informant!

You mean they actually used their lawyers for a good cause? The mind boggles.
Yay! Microsoft is the vanguard of Intarweb security. Yeah, going way beyond the call of duty ;)
Save the Internets of yore!
NPLZ. Why was this posted?
How could they abandon I.E.?
The money won't be a problem. We can make the Mars colonists our slaves.
Put the senators in the airlock until we decide what to do with them.
There simply aren't enough Microsoft admins to manage the threat. We need a job corps project for MCSEs! This will keep us safe from Chinese haxorz.
What happens to projects that depend on Open Solaris?
I sure hope it will. It really would suck if AMD died leaving Intel as supreme dictator. These days it would also mean that the government would be forced to bail out Intel if ever Intel got into financial trouble.
Lots of people are lazy enough (and hate their computers enough) to ignore and reject all the updates offered. I see it all the time.

Heh. His lack of composition skills is apparent but I doubt it has much to do with where he went to college. Is Hope College that awful?
