Haha, Microsoft was literally the most evil fucking company around. I still have a hatred for the IE6 team and their management as I was a junior developer during those years, so was always given the task go get our site working in IE which was hours and hours of Googling for random hacks you prayed would fix the rendering issues.

Funny how Microsoft has become the potential hero we need to save us from Google and Facebook. I wouldn't hold your breath after using Win 10 for a few years.

Have you experienced any negative reactions by one or more religious or political groups?

I keep hearing this, but I don't think I've ever gotten malware from an actual website.

Yeah if you go to a shady site and download and run game.exe, you're screwed. Same if you give your credit card to Amazon.scam.com.

But how do ads run the risk of anything more than annoyjng the hell out of me?

This is kind of interesting. I think the reason Americans are known for sucking at foreign languages is because we have absolutely no reason to practice any foreign languages. Anyone I meet from abroad already speaks English.

If I were a non-English speaker, and spent my 3 hours a day on reading Reddit, I'd be awesome at English - same as all the non-Americans here.

This may be changing, though. I'm a software engineer and so I need to be cognizant of the best libraries and open source code which is mostly on Github.com. In the last few years, more and more of the most popular projects are in Mandarin Chinese, and they don't usually put the English translations.
