Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I never switched as I have customized mine over the years for downloaders and other addons, and with a cute background. I do test with Chrome and IE, and occasionally Safari, but I always preferred FF for desk and laptop applications. It is worth giving it a test spin if you're interested.

Thanks for the addt'l info from real user. 
I used it quite a bit in the past then it began performing oddly (disk access) and I gave it up.

One additional factoid. The biggest thing I do not like is that every week or two, I tend to need to kill the process as either it doesn't garbage collect effectively or I have too many open and active tabs.

That's my experience with Chrome too.

"The rising cash holdings of U.S. corporations is increasingly in the hands of a few U.S. companies, with just five tech firms having grabbed a third of it. And nearly three-quarters of cash held by non-financial U.S. companies is stashed overseas, outside the long arm of Uncle Sam."
yep, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, Cisco, and Oracle.
A third of cash is owned by 5 U.S. companies[^]

So - the question is:
Do you want to weaken Washington and deregulate or strengthen the regulations?
Weakening them (aside from causing the last two financial catastrophes) will allow the big guys to get even bigger. After all - the only power able to stop them is certainly not your state or local government. Not even Kiwanis or the Rotary!
All the screaming about "big government" ? ? ? Paid for by the biggest businesses! After all - isn't that the war cry of the party who's candidate brags about having $billions? Who's side you think he's on?*
* The last know tax returns he released showed he paid . . . . 0% . You, my friend, are the one who picks up his unpaid check!

...should we assume Kent will be back to work as the link master this week and you were just flushing your buffer of backup articles?

No you're still stuck with me this week. Kent will be back next week. We had a long weekend in Canada so I buffered it up and swapped out some better stories on Monday.
Thanks,

A few weeks ago I gave a guest lecture at the Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. When I started the demonstration, I thought it would be fun to ask the students to name a company of which I would subsequently review the security. What I found out next was quite astonishing and I had to change the direction of the demonstration in order to protect the company’s security. A tale from an Ethical Hacker.

Some of the answer are really funny. They seem to come from SO-People

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Programming bootcamps seem to make an impossible claim. Instead of spending four years in university, they say, you can learn how to be a software engineer in a three month program. tl;dr both have strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks for the article. It has data, which it is more than an opinion.
So my opinion. I'd prefer and pay more for a BS CS than a bootcamper; if the bootcamper never went to college. Why? While the data proves that bootcampers are capable and competitive, besides algorithms and data structures, they lack general education. Sciences, history, and mathematics are used in the work place and some in programming. One should have at least a general level in these areas. Also, part of college is falling on your face and learning to work with all sorts of people. I'd prefer to have someone fall on their face in college than to deal with a smart 19 year old that is just starting life and is not mature enough to live as an adult. And lastly, I managed a pizza restaurant after high school and then went to college. I never worked with females or non-whites until college. It was a great experience and in a multi-million dollar company I'd prefer someone that has been around and respects other cultures and genders.

Didn't the IT bubble burst in the last decade or two because people were getting certified when they were not qualified?

I’m an expert on how technology hijacks our psychological vulnerabilities. That’s why I spent the last three years as Google’s Design Ethicist caring about how to design things in a way that defends a billion people’s minds from getting hijacked.
