I'm guessing you didn't bother to read the Google Code TOS? It puts the blame solely on the developer. Given that it's Google with a boatload of money to throw at attorneys, chances are that it's airtight for them in a legal battle should the need arise.
And as far as being up-to-date, what about people like me, who sign up for a LinkedIn profile, can't figure out what it's for, drift away, and stop bothering to keep their contact info updated? I don't see how LinkedIn is any more reliable than my own address book, in that sense.
Good point, but I suggest that it's FAR more likely for your list of contacts to maintain their information on LinkedIn rather that you being able to maintain your own list of everyone. More importantly, you'll have far more contacts on LinkedIn because it's easy to add people and you don't have to continuously contact them to update information. LinkedIn is essentially noninvasive for updates.
Regarding groups, they do facilitate discussions. It's always been that way as far as I remember. It's very similar to other online forums, except slightly more specialized (targeted) at a professional level. I.e. it's not a generic forum so you get options like "start discussion," "share news," but not all of the extra forum details.
I can't defend the inbox/archive implementation. I agree it sucks ass. However, I only ever got one request from someone I didn't know. If I remember, I said I didn't know and never saw the request again. I don't recall archiving it or anything and I can't find it now.
Anyway, I'm starting to sound like a commercial for freakin' LinkedIn so I'll stop. I don't equate it to MySpace/Facebook or anything, and I agree it's not so much a social site as it is (IMO) a auto-updated shared Rolodex (good description). Specifically, I haven't tested it for job-finding usefulness which I assume is the best reason for having LinkedIn in the first place, so YMMV there.
I mean, honestly... if they're legitimate business contacts I just call them on the phone or shoot them an e-mail.
Right, and how do you recall their contact info? Sure, you can maintain it yourself, but that means you'll need to remain in touch with them. If they change their contact info, however, and don't really care to update you (or miss you by accident), you're out of luck. A "business networking" site, however, essentially requires that everyone have current contact info. More importantly, updating it does not cause a huge cascade of notifications to everyone you are in contact with. There are many people I know on there that I would've lost contact with. I don't need their contact info now, nor they mine, but it's available should the need arise.
The real question is will your contacts help you when asked? I guess that's an individual question. Another interesting point, however, is that if you reject an invitation with "I don't know this person" then that person can never send you an invite again. If someone receives an excessive number of those types of rejections, then he or she will be restricted from ever sending out requests again (though presumably there's some payment option to start over or maybe a new account).
I agree you'd not be the only one. I also would go, I just wouldn't be one of the first. And, this isn't purely for reasons of a mechanical nature, but I'd like to wait until the pilots and other staff are a little more confident and comfortable.
That's a bad analogy, because the TFA only suggests customers to upgrade to IE8 from a previous version. It doesn't appear to be a money grab, i.e. (no pun intended) there's no recommendation to switch from say Firefox to IE8.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm still kind of shocked to see numbers like this. The current exchange rate (as I type this) between the U.S. dollar and Indian rupee is about 45.7 to 1! Okay, so the above numbers are only slightly off (rounded for readability I'm sure), but still, does this remind anyone else of Snow Crash?

Google Code is awesome by comparison.

Don't expect a lot of responses to this question.
122 years later and Esperanto still hasn't caught on, despite Harry Harrison's best efforts. Interesting sites, though, and thanks for that.
Who wants to learn French from a tutor over a webcam?! I want that French tutor in the same room with me, baby!
It's all his fault.

How'd they get the one out of the ditch?
I think it is worth a shot to try it in space.
Absolutely. You first.

Lenovo doesn't need to do any debugging so the key is superfluous to them.
