Using a metaphor is a good idea, but things like metadata, partial rollback and road map are probably too complicated already. Use a metaphor, but stay away from technical terms.
Don't go into technical terms. Don't get even near them. They will probably not understand what you say after 5 seconds and then it's game over.
Version control is THE system used everywhere by developers to keep their work safe (they'll probably like that). It allows them to collaborate (!) efficiently (!) and easily recover (!) from any made mistakes.
That are things that are not too complicated to understand. Try to explain it to your mother, or grandmother for example. If they think they understand, you're in the right track.
Perhaps try to compare it to writing articles. They should understand that. You keep older versions of the paper, just in case you find you deleted important parts.
Trying to explain branching would probably be too technical already.
I'm under the impression that a vibrator is legal, gay marriage is a right and carrying guns is legal, but I could come up with many more examples of things that are considered normal on one country and are forbidden in another.
But... When going to Rome, the follow Roman law or don't go to Rome.
Same same, but different. A government doesn't need censorship when it has good propaganda like "there is WMD in Irak". That would be a clear example, but governments all over the world do the same thing.
Perhaps the question boils down to what is worse. Not knowing because of censorship, or being lied to by the government.
So if you push your product to 1.000.000 people, you will get 1.000 very satisfied frequent returning customers. Close to 0,999% is still under 1%. I'm sure if it was closer to 0,5% they would have said something like 'about 0,5%'.
The guy normally watching Jungonator Warrior is only searching for Romantic Barf Shizzle because he, against all odds, has a girl in his apartment. I bet he's even willing to pay $20 so they can watch her favourite movie together.
if you really want, sort, order and index it all, but my suggestion would be different.
If you didn't need the files in the last 5 years, you'll probably never need them at all. Maybe one or two. Make one volume called OldSh1t, index it, and forget about it again.
Really. Unless you have a very good reason to un-dupe everything, don't.
I have my share of old files and dupes. I know what you're talking about:) Well, the sun is shining. If you need me, I'm outside.
Exactly:) As a student I had access to a student licence for AutoCad and I developed some nice things for it. I would love to do so nowadays, but buying AutoCad for fun.. I don't think so. So no AutoCad development for me anymore. It's not more complicated than that:)
My App costs 5 shells. So if two people have the App I should have made 10 shells. If person B copied the App from person A, person B' actions cause me to have 5 shells instead of 10. I have 5 shells less than I should have, by the doing of person B. Like the orange: stealing.
Disable Advertising is turned off and so is my ad blocker. Mainly because I support the site and because they give me the the choice to see the ads and the ads are not that intrusive.
I find religious TLD's offensive. My point is easy to see. Religious TLD's make it so much easier to get to religious sites and that increases the risk of extremism with all the sad consequences. Apart from that, sites about gawd are an insult to all the free thinking people in the world. Remember the Spanish Inquisition? Should the internet be a platform for "those kind of people"?
Ok. Enough sarcasm.
Please believe what you want, as long as you don't bother me with it. But that doesn't go the other way around, as it seems.
If you don't like.xxx, don't go there. If you don't like.gay, don't go there. And hell if you don't like.gawd, don't go there either.

The question is what Apple will say about this feature.
Same same, but different.

I think you're missing the point here.
AC is actually saying Linux rules and Microsoft sucks and Apple is for hipsters.

That's why I think you should GET money for watching television.
But why I don't watch television...
I'll tell you after the break.
"there is no way to opt out of the ads on the new Kindle Fire tablets"
Actually, you opt-in by buying that tablet.
Your opt-out option is not buying that tablet.
Easy.

Wouldn't it be great if Microsoft bundled a bing search toolbar with every .net update..
Well. No.
For the same reason: DieAskToolbarDie.
Exactly :) :)

Well? Does that give you the right to take it anyway?
What is he "borrow" the orange from earlier in this thread and decide to pay for it the next week after he tried it?
Orange, app, it's both a product he took for which he was supposed to pay, But he didn't. Theft.
If B wants to demo the App, he can download the demo version or express edition.
If B wants the full version, he has buy it. It's really simple.
My App costs 5 shells. So if two people have the App I should have made 10 shells.
If person B copied the App from person A, person B' actions cause me to have 5 shells instead of 10.

Don't make fun of this. Metrics don't lie. Seriously.

Of course it would be totally all right if Iran would make the weirdest accusations at this point.
Yes, it's a flame. I'm still waiting for the WMD to be found in Irak...

It seems Mars has GPS aswell. Time to start Geocaching on Mars...
So you don't have a cell phone?
