Microsoft Skydrive works better with Mozilla

Against Microsoft's terms of use the company I'm working for is using a
Skydrive account to access a few files across different locations. Even
though Microsoft expressly forbids using the free level for commercial
uses, we're doing anyway.
As per my previous posts I have no respect for the law or private
licensing agreements, including DRM.
On Internet Explorer 8 and 9 when one tries to switch folders, one will
click on the folder and IE does nothing. One has to his the refresh
button, then it goes into the directory we just clicked on.
In Mozilla (16) clicking on the directory automatically takes one
directly into that directory.
Kind of interesting how Microsoft can't even make its own stuff work...
with its own stuff. It even works better on Safari and Camino! I
noticed the same thing when trying to get Apple Mail working with an
Exchange server. I gave it the server info, and it just started
working. Outlook made me specify all the server information manually.
Pretty pathetic. No wonder Microsoft is doomed to fail. Just like
American railroads... Just like GM... Microsoft will simply be another
behemoth that tried to force its customers to buy their product via
proprietary standards, frivolous lawsuits and unfair licensing.
Eventually customers fought back.

You left out the most important part, Justapuss: you have no respect for
the law where your chance of evading it approaches 100%.

Yeah, you can see those customers fighting to leave Microsoft to the
tune of $60 billion a year in revenue.

Not necessarily. I don't obey the speed limits very often.
I was hoping Romney would be elected, started a war with Iran and
brought back the draft - just so I could evade it.
Would you turn me in?

Sounds like GM's revenue circa 1965.
Giants fail.

Don't worry, the military has no desire to invoke the draft as
volunteers make much better soldiers.
If a draft was ever invoked, the only way for you to evade the draft is
to move to another country... a long ways away. Back in the vietnam
days there were draft dodgers, and the military had ways of rounding
those up that were still inside the US. Lottsa ruck if that ever happened.

Actually you're wrong. Deaftees tend to be better educated, come from
better backgrounds than volunteers. WW2 was the best example.
Volunteers tend to be poor from lousy backgrounds. Something nobody
wants to hear, but its the truth.
Leave the country? Oh please... there's plenty of other options, such
as bribes. Bribe a doctor into saying I'm unfit... Hand a recruiter a
wad of $100's and I'm off the list.

But that isn't what the pentagon believes. I for one know that most
educated draftees also hated to be there in the first place. Almost all
of the guys in the Army had a short timers calendar... marking off each
day that went by till they got out.

Bribes won't work on MPs hunting you down.

The Pentagon is wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

They won't hunt me down, because I will have bribed others into getting
me a deferral. As far as the record is concerned I'd have a legal
deferral. DUH! Rush did it with an ass zit. Romney did it by skipping
to France.
Second, it won't be the MPs. It would be regular police hunting me and
about 25 million others just like me. My name would be on a list, and I
would have to make a mistake, such as getting pulled over and they would
run my ID through NCIC. Even then, sometimes there's a nice little
delay before all of the warrants hit every PD's system.

Quit while you're behind and stop replying.

Speed limits are different; nobody is harmed by your speeding.

Of course I would. All loser shitheads who take advantage of this
country but refuse to serve it when required to would be turned in.

GM never had 96% market share, or a laughably weak competitor like
Linux, or a worldwide entrenchment.

You can believe that if you want to.

That's what I said before... you'll have to go to another country that
is sympathetic to your draft dodging.

Tell that to those that will hunt you down. The economy is sort of in
the toilet now, so a job hunting down draft dodgers will look pretty
good. :-))
