Can you use something like the IEtab extension and write a script so that those two sites always open in IEtab, while everything else opens in Firefox?
You do not need a car to have a high quality of life. I live in the capital of Canada, and if I were to get a car--even if I were given one with all expenses (such a parking, insurance, gas, etc.) paid--it would significantly decrease my quality of life.
I have Yahoo e-mail through one of my former ISPs, and I am still using the old HTML-based e-mail web interface that I started with a few years ago, despite their pleas for me to move to the "new & improved" java/ad interface.
What stops a bank from making a loan (and collecting interest) in Second Life? Because unlike in real life, banks in SL can only loan out money that they have one time.
See Money As Debt for an explanation of how banks create money from nothing.
That's not necessarily true. I used to work at an engineering firm doing lab work. I was not very pleased with some of the engineers at the firm and how they handled themselves, as well as some of our field techs. That's not what you said, though. Your OP talked about being critical of a company. IMHO, this means the practises the people in charge and their goals and/or decisions, not the competence of the people who carry out those decisions to do so.
If you worked for a company whose goals you disagreed with, you'd be a hypocrite, as the work you do for the company implicitly goes toward achieving those goals. If you just work at a place where you have shit for colleagues, but the goals of the company align with yours, you can still do good work to further the company's goals.
It's something a registrar can do, that you & I can't. Basically, a loophole that a few trusted companies in the system are exploiting for profit. Well, if you can't make it too expensive for them, someone down the line will probably get pissed off enough to take them off the "trusted" list with all those frivolous reservation requests they're making 'on behalf of' their customers.
What if I were to become very vocal about some of the practices of say, Viacom, and then I applied for a job there? Then you'd be a hypocrite (or a shill, or a sellout...), which you'd still be if your IRL identity and avatar are kept separate. It'd be your choice to apply for such a job, but you'd get cognitive dissonance up the wazoo.
As a non-technical person, let me try to understand this through analogy:
What you're saying is that such a hack would be less like plugging in your laptop to the plane's network and running a program and more like pressing the environmental control buttons in the combination "seat up, seat up, seat down, seat down, twist air nozzle left, twist right, twist left, twist right, lighting scheme A, lighting scheme B, lighting scheme A, lighting scheme B, select audio channel, start audio playback"?
Assuming it's possible, let's just hope that someone who is smart enough to hack it isn't also stupid enough to actually do so (and thus compromise his/her life and those of everyone on board).
If a link has the text "www.google.com", but actually links to "www.g00g1e.com", then what stops the browser from being able to compare the two and take effective action to warn/protect the user?
[Caveat: I don't work for them, own any part of the company, or know anyone personally who's released a CD through them...] You realize this is unnecessary, right?
If the site you suggested is good, then people will mod it up regardless of your affiliation to it--unless the people modding your comment up happen to "work for them, own any part of the company, or know anyone personally who's released a CD through them". And those mods don't carry the same disclaimer.
The Australian Broadcasting Commission, ambiguously referred to as the ABC... Yeah, but you gotta admit it's much less ambiguous than the former acronym, "ONX"
As Jon Stewart has pointed out himself, people only get the jokes because they understand the issues surrounding them. That requires being tuned to more than just his show.
One thing they didn't mention is the size of the market, which is a lot bigger than it was when XP came out. You'd expect Vista to actually do better than XP if that was an important factor. Quite the opposite. As the market expanded, XP filled the gap (i.e. people who had no OS got XP). But once people have an OS that "ain't broke", there is little incentive to "fix it" with an upgrade, except when replacing old computers.
As the market continues to expand, Vista will be more likely to fill the gap, but the market is much larger than it was when XP started out. So even if it were to sell as fast as XP did, it would not gain in market share as quickly as XP did.

If only they'd do the same thing for their military programs.
(Canada's military programs are constantly overbudget; I can only assume the US suffers from the same problem)

It's surprising how pervasive is the idea that someone is automatically "safer" as soon as you put a metal box around them.
