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.

  While Dad was quite proud of his Top Secret Clearance, I am _dead_ _certain_ he was cleared to do Signals Intelligence work.

  I'd rather not tell you more than what he _specifically_ told me one day, but I have really good reasons to believe he really did do SIGINT:

  "Mike?"

  "Yes, Dad?"

  "Aboard submarines there are some black boxes."

  (I have it on good authority that actually, they are grey.)

  "And there are some quiet men who tend to those black boxes."

  My father was a quiet man.
