Microsoft Releases FlexWiki as Open Source

davemabe writes "Microsoft is apparently releasing its FlexWiki wiki implementation as an open source project. FlexWiki is the software used to run the wikis over at Channel 9. My question is: Is this software as good as the ever-extensible Kwiki implementation?"

    John Kerry's changing positions on Iraq in his own words [kerryoniraq.com].

    Yeah, 'cos politicians who stick to their guns out of principle, even when they are wrong, are the SHIZNIT!!

    I've never gotten the whole "flip-flop" thing. Politicians reflect the desires of the people, in an ideal world. If the desires of the people change, well, it's pretty obvious that those in charge should change as well.

    He embodies the corrupt politician, doing and saying whatever it takes to get elected, with no real desire to serve the peoples' interests.

    Sounds like just about every one of them nowadays... :-(

    > Politicians reflect the desires of the people. I don't know about other folks, but I expect politicians to vote based on what they believe makes sense given the issues. We (well, I) vote them into office not because I assume or even demand that they will do everything I want, but because what they say they will do seems to most closely match what I want given the available candidates. Of course, they also get voted out of office if they vary sufficiently, but that's their problem;-) IMHO, Kerry's positioning on Iraq and other issues are based to a a large degree on getting elected, not on any particular desire to bend to the desires of the people.

    Huh, I didn't know he had a radio show. But I checked that link and apparently no one is Seattle carries it so doesn't do me any good (I don't have satellite radio because I would almost always rather listen to a cd). Oh well.

    Sorry, I had points this morning. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, one of my daughters had a baby or puppy, can't remember. The one that accuses me of not paying attention, or something.

    Seriously, as in the running of the government, everyone should feel free to peacefuly change the processes that are important to us. /serious

    Honestly, thats why Kerry is the democratic canidate. It isn't because he is the best man for the job. (god knows there are alot better/capable democrates then Kerry) It is because he is what they percieve to be the most electable. Some people speculate it has somethign to do with his simularities to clinton But that argument usually falls short.
