Would the official end of support for XP be a big enough event to force those kinds of agencies to make the necessary changes? As long as it's "merely corporate bickering with the users" vs versions, life trundles along. But I'd ... uh ... hope that the security-conscious agencies might see a wee little problem with producing data that requires, by a couple steps of logical reasoning, to use an OS that officially has no more security updates as of X date.-TaoPhoenix (September 22, 2012, 02:24 PM)
I'm going to hedge my wording here in case I am blundering, but I think at least some links aren't just sending affiliate info, they're sending identifiable user info of various kinds along with it.

We don't have office integration... just using basics like document storage and documentation page (we have over a decade, and most likely more of documentation in sharepoint, so it's definitely not going away anytime soon). It just doesn't work in anything other than IE. I don't know the specifics why...but believe me, I've tried.I guess that depends on the level of sharepoint support you want - the (horrible!) office integration crap might require IE, but basic site functionality works fine (as "fine" as you can manage to get with sharepointNot supposedly - Sharepoint just won't work under anything but IE.There are other examples, but I think that gets the point across.You've listed one specific issue where there's - supposedly - some IE requirements going on (I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with SharePoint, I pity you-wraith808 (September 22, 2012, 09:50 AM)). Lots of stuff doesn't require IE because of crappy ActiveX controls, but because of jscript vs. javascript or DOM differences (or, in the old days, MS-Java specifics) - the kind of stuff there's really no excuse for.

Or the need to have an embedded browser- it's easier to just embed IE- and they're using IE specific stuff.And I'm kinda glad when that bites people in the behind, since embedded browsers is almost always a horrible end-user experience. There's a (very!) few pieces of software where this makes sense, but mostly it's just a very very bad idea. (I remember a certain antivirus package that decided using embedded IE for it's user interface was a good idea... yeah.)-wraith808 (September 22, 2012, 10:45 AM)-f0dder (September 22, 2012, 11:21 AM)

On a somewhat related topic: am I the only one that purposefully removes affiliate links from URLs before purchasing things, unless I deliberately want to support a particular person?-f0dder (September 22, 2012, 09:50 AM)
Because the coders wrote stuff that breaks in all other browsers, instead of Doing Things Right, with some abstraction layer for IE support?because of retarded internal apps coded by slopmonkeysWhy blame the coders for the requirements of management?

That's an interesting (if unfortunate) story...
I was surprised to see the rewardli deal, since Sublime Text's developer seemed to historically have little interest in discounting the software. Turns out that that still seems to be the case.-mwb1100 (September 21, 2012, 02:55 PM)

It's still a random nag screen when saving, and no other limitations that I am aware of. I must admit I have postponed buying a license because, well, it's expensive, and I was hoping for a larger DC discount-Jibz (September 21, 2012, 09:59 AM)
Think of what an ad on the screen saver implies: it implies that when I am not using my device, and it is perhaps on the coffee table or my desk at work, it is broadcasting ads. And because up to now screensavers have always been personal choices, it is communicating to people around that I endorse this brand.
There is implicit endorsement assigned to something shown on a personal screen. That's why advertisers should jump on this for the short time it will work, and that's why people should run away from it in horror. But then people "like" a brand on facebook just for a chance to win a freebie, even though it will push an ad (with endorsement!) on all their friends feeds, so perhaps I am the only one horrified by being hijacked to promote brands I might object to.
If I am not, there will be a lawsuit "kindle showed ads I object to on religious grounds" or "kindle on my desk showed ad that could have got me fired"... it will happen-iphigenie (September 21, 2012, 03:19 AM)
After Borders closed, showing that all brick bookstores will die eventually, buying a Nook from the other big brick-and-mortar bookstore seemed like a sure dead end, and Amazon seemed like it would be the last bookstore standing. At least the partnership with Microsoft seems to change that, so in that sense it is an improvement.-daddydave (September 21, 2012, 05:07 AM)
