On call for what, emergency meetings about requirements documents or SLAs?:D
But seriously, if you enjoy the tech don't move away from it, not everyone wants to go sit in meetings all day, and they should find a way to let you advance and stay in the technical realm, or at least keep giving you raises/random title upgrades to keep things interesting.
More explicitly, Subversion already represented a huge mental and workflow hurdle in getting people out of VSS. There would have been torches and pitchforks if we had tried to leap that far into the current state of the world. And no, fire all the people that don't get it wasn't an option. Also at the time, ~2 years ago, Git was just coming onto the scene. Maybe at some point in the future merging will cause enough pain to force our hand, but it's not on the horizon.
I love mine, wouldn't trade it for any other chair I've ever had. For me the mesh is key, there are other chairs with similar adjustability and support, but nothing matches the comfort of having nothing stuck right up against your backside for 8-10 hours a day. I started working remotely after having one in my office, and I had to buy one for my house, I couldn't survive on my old Office Depot chair.
How about Comcast, Time Warner, et all, selling DVRs. The satellite companies are a good comparison cause XM is a satellite based service, but really there are endless examples of the same situation in the TV world.
NBC isn't the distributor when they play a movie on TV. XM isn't distributing songs, they're just like every other radio station, the FCC is to dumb to understand this and says their competition is only Sirius. If that's their only competition then why is Clear Channel rolling out "digital" radio stations. If all Clear Channel is competing against is the 5 regular radio stations they don't already own then why are they so afraid of satellite radio? I just wish that the courts would order the RIAA to stop bringing completely frivolous and obviously borderline lawsuits against everyone under the sun, consumers, satellite radio. I'm just waiting for them to start suing bands or the government too, it's about the only people they haven't wrongfully gone after. Notice to the RIAA, we didn't stop buying music cause we can download it off the internet. We stopped buying music because you went from putting out 70% crap to putting out 99.9999% crap. Shocker no one wants to buy the new American Idol idiot's CD, maybe cause it sucks, cause they aren't downloading it either.
Since the page copy is a plugin I just know that it copies pages, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to write a space copy plugin, considering it's all just DB records. Check out Atlassian's wiki in the plugins section for details about what's out there.
Sorry since the original poster was asking about document management I was assuming we were working in the Word doc vein still. Assuming you want to "branch" Confluence pages, you can make a "copy" of a page using a plugin provided by the vendor, and then manually add a link to the original page to the copy. At my workplace we're heavily pushing for all Word docs to begin their lives as Confluence pages, it's just so much better.
Assuming you never want to merge... Just download a copy of the file and upload it as an attachment on another page. Assuming you want to merge, you're on drugs for wanting to branch and merge word docs...
It's everyone, a huge amount of any feedback ever gotten to anything is negative, because the negative response people have is usually stronger than that positive and stronger by enough to go through the trouble of complaining.
Note: Tons of the people saying, "I like the runner up better" wouldn't have posted "I like the winner, it's the bestest" if the runner up had won.
I love 1and1, the only thing I wish it offered was better control over DNS (no dynamics, no TXT records for SPF, etc) and Rails support, but I'm still at least a year away from having enough free time to do anything meaning full in Rails, so that's not really a valid complaint.
Reading through the thread there are some good ideas that I think would help the submission issue a lot.
First and foremost would be incorporating karma and accepted/total submisisons info into the quality assessment. I don't think no karma should hurt you, but bad karma should.
Second, completely ignore the complaints. I don't care who posts stories, and neither should anyone else, assuming they are good stories. I think the idea of moderation of stories comes into play here. Being able to have subscribers mark things as dupe, lame, slashvertising, etc. before they hit for the rest of us would give you some insight into the crowd without turning over the moderation reigns entirely. Maybe this would just flag stories to be re-reviewed by editors if they got a large enough percentage of bad moderations. Obviously the MS trolls are gonna be attacking the Linux stories, etc. But you should be able to get a good idea of whether the story is good or bad.
Third, I also think the idea of gaining subscription pages for accepted stories if you're accepted/submitted ratio is high enough would be a good idea as well.
This might be true for SPAM, but it's not for worms especially if the worm has a pre-scanned hit list. However even without one, a UDP worm like Slammer, will beat you every time. No TCP setup time + not caring what the response is = Speed of light propigation speed. Lets see you beat that:)

Where'd you see that it wasn't for commercial use? It certainly wasn't anywhere obvious as a clicked through this morning?
All this says is they can say you use their service. I don't think you really need to worry since they won't proclaim you as a customer unless you're massive, like Microsoft or Yahoo or something they're not gonna care enough to talk about you.
And if you're using AJAX to power senate.gov or some other CMS powered site you're stupid. AJAX = Web Application Technology, so if your screen reader can read what is on a local APPLICATION then it should be able to read an AJAX app. And if it can't, wait 6 months and someone will have created one that can, just like when the HTML became the in thing there were no screen readers for that either.
The people who attack the usefulness of AJAX were probably the ones saying that HTTP served no useful purpose because we already had gopher.
Get a sense of humor people, and catch on, we're talking about web applications not Mom and Pop's web site talking about their grandchildren. You don't index applications, you don't have a meaningful back button in applications, you aren't worried about browsers without javascript in applications. This is new, this is cool, this makes very specific tasks much much more bearable when working with web based applications. Stop ney-saying and try developing with it, you'll see how cool it is too.
IANAL, so when some puts a bot on his computer or hacks his wireless he's still responsible? Kind of like when someone steals my car how I'm responsible for the people they run over...oh wait i'm not that's right. Just like how if my grandson steals my car I'm still not responsible for the people he runs over. Good try though. Personal liability does not equal getting sued, the liabilty you're talking about only covers personal injury.
Those most likely to use P2P are teenagers, who are also the most likely to cheat/shoplift/smoke/cut school/pierce things/color their hair/wear odd clothes/ and oh... right, be typical teenagers.
I'm sure a high category 4 hurricane would kick the crap out of the Dutch, even with all their fancy levees and pumps. So the point of moving the city when it lies below sea level and in the path of hurricanes remains valid.
What you mean is don't use RAID 1 for backup, which is good, but since RAID anything isn't for backup it's like saying don't use a monitor for backup. RAID 1 does a wonderful job of what it's designed for, keeping a dead drive from ruining your day. If you're worried about deleting stuff, buy 3 drives and run RAID 1 to protect yourself from data loss and run a batch backup everynight to protect yourself from yourself.
If they sent you a check and you deposited it or cashed it against your account (if it's too large to cash without an account at the bank) then you've just given them your account info, so you might as well have done it from the start.
You do have this chance to vote, if you find a useful page clicking the "More like this" link, not only gives you pages tuned closer to that page, but it also tells Google that's what you wanted to see when you searched in the first place.

Where do I submit my mailing address? Create a new Google account just for that purpose till you figure out just how much it phones home.

But unless years of TV and movies have lied to me that exact sceen did happen. Are you saying the Simpsons aren't real?!?
I would assume Google is smart enough to watch for excessive or targetted clicking just like they do when crawlling said sites, AdWords, etc.
You do have this chance to vote, if you find a useful page clicking the "More like this" link, not only gives you pages tuned closer to that page, but it also tells Google that's what you wanted to see when you searched in the first place.
