Every PHB in the office uses it... So yeah, that means everyone else uses it too... On the other hand, if my boss wants to get a hold of me, he now has to send an email or sign up for a google talk account.

This is just epically stupid. Are they trying to make themselves irrelevant?
I don't want to click through a screen about updates. I want to manually click a button requesting updates. I don't want the field I'm typing in to lose focus when "something else happens." Ignore it. I am more important. I don't want to have to worry about my plugins playing nice with my browser. Some sort of official "we know these don't break" repository of plugins would be nice.
Also. Don't wait for images to load to show me text.
Your point is well taken, but doesn't state the real issue. This has NOTHING to do with being more secure and EVERYTHING to do with "accountability." Which is lame.
Seems to me "Good Software" is simply software that addresses the problem it was designed to address in as economical a way as possible.
All these other facets are different beings entirely. Scalability? That's part of the problem domain, has nothing to do with how good your software is.... If your app only scales to one user, and you have..... one user.... You have created "Good Software." Software that other people can read is a often considered "good", but that's also outside of the scope of the problem itself, unless you make it part of the scope. Also, just because other people can read it, is not a sufficient condition for "goodness." I have grok'd some of the most disturbing creations of the minds of men while walking through layers of poorly thought out, but easily readable code.
Test Suites themselves are... you realize... "software" so assuming those tests are "good software" then they already satisfy my only requirement (solving the problem economically).
Paying customers have nothing to do with software quality. I'm not even sure where to begin with that.
As for requiring a manager. That is simply laughable.
Point 5 is really the only one that is necessary. You need developers to write the software. You need the developers to understand the problem so that they can create software that addresses it. If you have #5, why is anything else required for "Good Software"?
What? So... you can't ask for help in getting your PhD? My my... There are QUITE a large number of doctors out there that are apparently sharing their degrees with colleagues, friends, family, and... strangers on the internet....
I suggest you stop using the services of anyone accreditted with such a degree.
It's the tooling. Modern languages are essentially equally capable.
The reason Java still has a leg to stand on is Eclipse and its various plugins. When did J2EE get easy to use? It was really when Eclipse tooling for J2ee (and it's alternatives, like Spring) took off that J2EE became a workable solution.
With the tools available, Java is easier to get stuff done with, for the average developer.
And why couldn't some enterprising individual publish md5sums of known good torrents? And why then couldn't someone else write an additional plugin for Azureus?
No, but it shouldn't have been changed in the first place. Debian needs to stick their ego up their ass sometimes and just let the people who wrote the software do the coding vs. sticking their own code in in places they don't fully understand. WTF? This bug is the result of a Debian guy saying "Hey, this doesn't look right, can you fix it?" The PACKAGE MAINTAINER (Not the DEBIAN GUY) "fixed" it for Debian (though for obvious reasons that fix won't propogate any further) and got us here. Speaking of "don't fully understand..." Would you maybe read.... prior to....
Debian people screwed up. This leaves a huge distaste in my mouth for Debian (and Ubuntu). The huge distaste in your mouth is probably the CROW you should be chewing on since the Debian people did NOT SCREW THIS UP. This was the fault of the maintainer.
Were I the organizer or administrator of MADD, it would not matter to me one whit whether GTA IV caused a decrese in public safety. I am a crusader. I am here to draw attention to my cause by any means necessary (that won't detract attention from my cause). These people are very much like celebrities. They need to keep their names in the news to keep their agendas fresh in the minds of those plugged up to the great media toilet.
It's not the same as doing something for money, but in my mind, it's just as disingenous and evil.

$27 a year? (GoDaddy) $50 a year? (InstantSSL) etc.
Sorry, but if an organisation can't swallow around $50 a year then they have more serious problems that wanting SSL.
You're a short sighted nitwit.
Dipshits like you ask dumbfuck questions like "If you're not guilty of anything, what do you have to hide?"
Just crawl back into bucket of dumb, die, and leave the rest of us alone.
Fuck my karma.

I just want a browser that doesn't bother me.

Where did the ice go?
Tom Collins's.... Turns out...
Can we get back our Vitamin C gene again? I would love being able to eat less fruit... Scurvy sucks.
Apparently a war has already been delcared on Scurvy, and it appears to almost be won
There is a more technical explanation in the link at the end of the article.
Verny? Thatyou?
Anyhow.

"wiggers" is not the preferred nomenclature. Wafrican-Americans please.
Yet ANOTHER framework to learn
Most high end rigs can run a vm. VM's can do directx now. YER FUCT!
City of Brotherly Love indeed. And hey, if you can make it pay...
So... What Open Source Software fits your bill?

40? In what land of milk and honey are you getting broadband for 40/month? The taxes and service fees (here) are 15.
services like giganews are going to make a shitload on this news
What kind of traitorific bullshit is this? I hope you fail. This is an epic abomination.
GFY, I'll buy you the dildo.
ass.
It is considered good form to disclose the existence (if not the size of) positions when publishing stock analysis.
It's the tooling. Modern languages are essentially equally capable.

Calling this a poor replacement is short sighted.
ah fuck it

I wonder if the HIPPA compliance officer got canned. Why the hell wasn't this data encrypted?
What is it that makes you think that the FBI RICO investigators exist to serve you?
I'm also flushing their stock on the next uptick
