"If you are a corporate environment that has invested thousands of hours in creating a desktop image that does everything required of it for business purposes and meets the security standards required in your industry, upgrading software is incredibly expensive, makes your environment less secure as opposed to more, and is not to be done just for the hell of it."

Solution: Hire someone familiar with the concept of scalability.

"The point is simply that millions of people are not capable of coping with the complexity of understanding what's a needed, legitimate update and what's itself spyware or spam. You might as well insist that people who can't hear must get cochlear implants if they want to "hear" the major political address in real time."

Last I checked stupid isn't a disability, and that seems kind of insulting that you would take intellectually lazy people and compare them to people with real, genuine disabilities.

Making a site friendly for those who CANNOT change their situation is a given (visual/audio impairments). If anything, modern browsers are allowing for far more options for the disabled in order to access the web. So, in reality, it's your stupid, frightened web users who are holding the genuinely disabled back by forcing developers to spend more time making a site compatible and less time making a site completely accessible to those with a genuine need.

"Are you telling me they also must update their 1991 Oldsmobile?"

If they don't maintain it the car will eventually break down/become unsafe to the point where if a cop sees them, they'll probably be fined and the car will eventually be towed. Maintenance is a part of life, and if you can't handle it you probably need some assistance in your daily activities, in which case you have bigger things to worry about besides seeing websites the way they were meant to be seen.

The problem for most has been the pressure from clients and employers to support IE6 to maximize revenue, as most businesses are too afraid to push requirements on users when money is on the line. With big guns like youtube coming forward and dropping support, it's going to be a lot easier for designers and developers to convince clients that NOT supporting IE6 is actually going to save them money in the long run.

What a fucking idiot. Every new interview, screenshot, piece of fo3 lore, or anything else that comes from Bethesda is just another nail in the coffin for Fallout 3. They can't ruin the first 2 games for me, but there's no doubt in my mind that Fallout 3 is going to be complete and utter catshit.
