If sugar and other sweeteners weren't so dirt cheap, maybe people wouldn't eat a dozen donuts for breakfast and maybe if these sugary "treats" went back to being treats instead of staples of the American, possibly other, diets we wouldn't be in this predicament. I agree that sugar is quite addictive. The craving for a pizza or ice cream can be overwhelming for me. Some of the food manufacturers in my opinion should almost be regulated like the tobacco industry. They do the same thing. Just no one wants to talk about favorite sugary food or drink causing ailments, it is like the greatest secret everyone knows.

Things would probably work themselves out if there weren't so much in the sugar subsidy. If sugary treats and drinks were rare instead of common we probably wouldn't have as much diabetes or overweight people, myself included. I feel this kind of stuff is sadly typical of the world we live in, propaganda at its finest.

If they are installing, you are using the wrong installer. The one from the developers section on oracle's website does not include these toolbar's. Yes, msi's are easier to work with and many companies do not provide them, not just Oracle, but when you are given lemon's you make lemonade. Especially since complaining to oracle will get you no where.

Actually, you don't even need the msi, unless that is the only mode you have for installation. Can use the java package with a /s switch and then use the deployment.properties file with custom configs in the link below to disable many features for java.

And most IT Admins know that the best place to get the installer isn't from Java.com that has crapware built into the installer but from the link below which doesn't have crapware built in.

I work for a school district in the US and we see this occasionally. We just wipe the computer and restore files to the Users network drive from backup.

I personally think getting into a good backup regimen is a better use for the money than paying some scumbags.

It runs as a transparent proxy. We used to use Lightspeed but found it lacking in reporting. It can act as a MITM proxy if you turn the option on. We do however force safe search on search sites that the box works with.

I work for a school district in the US and we have to have a gateway content filter to prevent students from accessing inappropriate web sites. We use an iboss content filter which can decrypt ssl and rencrypt on the fly. It can also force google safe search and such. I suspect this company uses something similar.

No his landing page does not look "professsional"

I think MS needs to quit trying to reinvent entire OS's and start tweaking features within the OS and specific portions of the OS. That I think is one thing that Apple did correctly. They keep a similar user experience between versions but tweak various features within it building upon the previous release.

Just schedule it along with your passport renewal! If you are in the US~

I thought I was the only one that this change annoyed the hell out of.
