    No worries, but you might need new developers...

    Sometimes Bugzilla is pref'd instead of RT depending on need. I set it up for the group to do collaborative development (docs, code, email "forums" with archiving, etc.) and it runs. Except for minor additions a customer may request when they don't want to self-admin, I'm hands-off because it doesn't need me.

    "installer"?? (snicker)

    "enterprise support" is via TCP Port 22 from anywhere in the world the admin person/team chooses. For the CLI-challenged a web interface can be had...

    And don't look now, but the MS Office Suite is "5-8 separate applications".

    It's a working system like Sharepoint, but better. Not one user has found it lacking, and the hosts love the reliability, security, stability, and cost. What's more, anyone they choose can update or expand it.

    You're like a Chevy owner saying a Ford is "just a box of parts" and your analogy is equally specious.

    Customizable, expandable, and portable. It can even easily be made rather secure. I've installed this combo many times and not a single dissatisfied customer.

    ad-hominem.

    Happy?

    The OP argument consisted almost entirely of the fallacy of Straw Man (which I repeated often enough) by his arguing about video broadcast and not blogging. I called out his penchant for such and said there is still a question deserving of adjudication (my opinion on the outcome being irrelevant and intentionally unstated). Then I got sucked into this silly semantic debate. I have seen many claims but NO citations that this question has been ruled upon. Feel free to provide some or piss off.

    It's a fine point, which in all of your myopia and conflation of two separate points you've missed or ignored.

    1st covers more than speech... And I never said rights were violated; just that there was an open questions. You and OP let your opinions and biases argue as strawmen, ad infinitum. OP was especially poor by arguing video. It wasn't his first time, and I got sick of his bellicose fallacious argumentation.

    posting (near) real-time descriptions of a game are as much broadcasting as a commentator speaking a blow-by-blow into a microphone or a typist providing real-time closed captions for a television broadcast

    Feel free to post a citation in support of that. No? Then it is still a 1st Amendment question.

    Your opinions and biases don't change that.

    "strawman" != "legitimate". Try again.

    The question "does blogging equal broadcast" has not been answered. Until then, it's a 1st Amendment question.

    Your personal biases are irrelevant.

  25. Re:-5 Strawman on Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging · · Score: 0

    NCAA policy expressly prohibits live-blogging/coverage of the game by press, he was informed of it in advance, he had press credentials; he violated the policy anyway, got caught, and got removed.

    If that was your first post, I'd be right behind you. But you went the reciprocal-tinfoil strawman route and got caught.

    Not much more to say about it.
