I really don't understand the whole controversy around piracy. The fact of the matter is, it's a real hassal to purchase and use physical media and the respective industries are spending all of their money suing the consumer instead of lis

More than that, the tools that are available to develop with in IE are useless at best. Launching the developer tools in IE8 has a 50/50 chance of crashing your app and when you finally get it open it looks like an intern built it with the

Looking through the comments on this article, it seems like there is more to the story. Looks like the OP has been having a lot of issues with service, CS response time, and cooperation when dealing with security issues. I don't think it's
