I use FireFox, both mobile and desktop, and google docs and spreadsheets work fine for me. Haven't tried Slides recently but it worked fine the last time I did.
This is my experience, too. The salesperson is the consistent presence in the cycle, understands the customer's needs, and interprets them to the team that will wind up fulfilling the contract.
There is a huge difference in the job of the salesperson at Best Buy, selling consumer products by the millions, and an engineering company, selling one-off systems to other companies. In the latter case, the salesperson earns his commission. In the former case maybe not so much.
Well, no. The planet will be just fine, thank you. It will exist long after we're gone. It's for the benefit of people. Except, of course, for the 6+billion you have to eliminate to get down to a billion.
The most important thing is to actually have a written procedure and follow it. Depending on your level of formality, it needs to cover:
Who provides the notification (might be HR, might be the manager to whom the employee reports,...)
Disabling logins
Archiving emails, home directories, project repositories
Establishing exit interviews
Defining last-minute deliverables (typically just knowledge transfer)
It's worth pointing out that you can't know that this isn't a "disgruntled employee scenario" unless you have learned to read minds. They wouldn't be leaving if they were 100% happy.
Most/.ers probably are not old enough to remember the days when all telecommunications were regulated under title II. Let's just say that costs were higher, innovation was essentially prohibited, and service was even worse than you can get from Comcast today.
"So, the next time you complain about your phone service, why don't you try using two Dixie cups with a string? We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company."
The issue that Silent Circle points out is that SMTP is inherently unable to provide security against traffic analysis. Even if the body of the email is encrypted, the headers cannot be.
So yes, you can run your own email server, and require that only gpg traffic pass through it. But that won't keep you secure against traffic analysis (aka "metadata collection") with collection performed at your ISP.
We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!
Most software (games being the obvious exception) has the possibility of creating harm to humans. Payroll, accounting, project management, word processing, etc. all have that potential.
On one system we stored programs by wiring them into a ROM. By hand. One wire per word, wrapped around the center pole of the E-cores clockwise for a 1, or counterclockwise for a 0. Then solder one end of the wire to the correct X address, and the other end to the correct Y address. Total, 256 16-bit words per board (Z was decoded to board-select).
In my experience, deadlines are rarely driven directly by profit concerns.
In the case of proprietary software development, the driving force is generally that promises have been made to (current and future) customers. Breaking those promises can hurt the customer's perception of the reliability of the development organization. Perhaps more importantly, it can hurt the managers' and developers' self-image.
It seems to me that these motives would also apply to an Open Source project. After all, no one wants to be thought of as unreliable.
That said, I also suspect that none of the above applies in the present case. A one-week delay, in a multi-month project, when there is an obvious reason for concern over trojans, seems completely reasonable to me.
OSCAR vs. Grid: Substantially different. Kinda like the difference between a LAN and the Internet.
OSCAR vs. other cluster software: HA-OSCAR is a logical development of other open-source cluster software out there. For instance, see SLURM, a package for scheduling jobs on a Linux cluster.

And then, since no one can make money on it, no innovation occurs.
Horses have exhaust, too.

Nice opinion. Got any facts?
You are correct, in that Google ignores periods in gmail account names. a.b.c@gmail.com, ab.c@gmail.com and abc@.gmail.com are all the same account.

Can you trust humans not to be evil?
C's memory management is performed by the programmer. So if it's shitty, you made it that way.

Of course, it used to be expertsexchange.com, which always got a giggle from me when I saw it in a URL.

Be careful what you ask for.

Or by having someone else take the interview for you. Most profs in big courses don't know all their students.

You can't re-use nodes, but you _can_ put in crossing lines, which makes the grease smears less useful.

Also *raises hand*.

Yes, I am old.
Err, it's Sun's JDK that's GPL V2, not IBM's. IBM's not releasing source so far. Sorry.
