Microsoft begs you to stop using Internet Explorer
In a blog post, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson said continuing to use Internet Explorer is racking up companies a ton of "technical debt." Essentially, by continuing to use IE, organizations are creating additional costs down the line by selecting the easiest, most convenient solution now rather than the approach that is best for the long term. Jackson laid out a scenario in which a company, choosing the easiest possible route since Internet Explorer 6, goes to make a webpage today and ends up using a 1999 implementation of web standards by default.

if you move the test stand more than 4 feet is has to be re-qualified and re-certified.
Hmm. Is there any rule against moving it in several 4-foot increments? Or is it more than 4-feet from a particular (fixed) location. If there is no rule against incremental movements, what is the minimum period of time between moves? What if you jack up the building it is in and move the building?
As it is (presumably) on the surface of the earth, unless it is precisely on the earth's axis of rotation, it is moving all the time at a tangential dependent on the distance from the earth's axis of rotation which could be quite large. Does that require continuous requalification and recertification?
