    Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation." -- Johnny Hart

  4. Re:Google What Now? on Google Wave Creator Quits, Joins Facebook · · Score: 1

    Was was an implementation of the protocol-one, operational transformation (OT) and protobuf projects developed as an extension of XMPP The demo app was fairly dire however the protocol is excellent for collaborative editing of data. We use it for M2M stuff with autonomous agents and it is great.

    It is ok. Major issues yes... however they have made a good go of it. We ahve been using JUXTA then XMPP for years for apps and this on top of XMPP is a real plus. They may be wankers at times but this (forgetting the social shit) is ggod.

    There are many annoying bits however there are also some killer bits like Operational Transformation which is really cool. I am not into social net type stuff but for many things this is great.

  16. Re:No federation on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 1

    Federation has been out for a while. Have been running it on our servers for some time due to the Operational Transform features. Not using a front end but for M2M stuff. It is a bit buggy but not too bad. It will federate with anything other than wave.google itself. It federates with the sandboy and all non google installations.

    Nope, however there was nobody in those days capable of doin the harm that we can do. We as a profession are giving the thugs tools that were never imagined by anyone in history for the control and desecration of human life. I am just glad to sit here in Vanuatu and watch you all fuck yourselves. Lawvers are just a symtom like doctors of a sick society -- Plato The Republic.

    Just like the programmers who work in Langley and elsewhere writing code to do nasties to their fellow humans. I find it funny how all on this list attack others when we as a profession are doing so much to provide guv's with all the tech they need to screw us.
