Maybe it was the page he linked to. I counted three popups. I could barely read the article for all the flyover crap that kept showing up. The text itself was barely visible for all the ads.

Personally I use firefox with the IETab addin. It lets you switch to an embedded IE view with a quick click for those annoying few sites that just don't work with FF. Not much you can do though if they ban anything but IE.

Indeed. I have enough conflict with corporate IT policy as it is. I'm a developer, and I require admin privileges on the PC's I use. I routinely have to circumvent group policy settings and other crap in order to do my job effectively. I'm waiting for the black helicopters to hover outside my office window, and to have the pocket-protector ninjas come bursting through it.

I am sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out. The 'Message Type' icon has been corrected. It was an inadvertantly incorrect mouse click.

We've occasionally considered doing that, but the costs usually outweigh the benefits. The primary costs would be losing outside access to our source control data base and its IT-provided automated backup. We would also have some support issues, since we would have to spend the time and effort managing this resource ourselves. Thus far we've found workarounds for the corporate policy issues. If they become insurmountable, we will reconsider.
