zomg, not confluence. while jira is mostly ok, confluence is PAIN. - it's just totally messed up in opera. - there is no way edit wiki text in latest versions. - assuming wiki text representation exists at all... plugins you can get for it seem to expose plain html. - it doesn't seem to have any concept of styles, it gives an illusion of styles when you edit content, then drops to hardcoded formatting.
i was seriously disappointed by it a couple of weeks ago. even inserting a simple table in opera was a disaster.
standard connectors for anything would be great. also standard (and open) data formats.
for example, a volvo v60 from 2005 has a built-in navigation system. totally useless. on the plus side, volvo answered politely to my question about putting openstreetmap data on it. too bad the answer didn't help me at all:)
oh, it also has a built-in phone. that needs it's own sim. with a passenger's set. i'd like to replace phone with some storage area and that set - just nuke it, it's taking up most of the space in the storage area...
in this case they seem to have covered themselves. they don't say ZOMGIDENTIFYTERRIRIST - they just "assign a higher risk":) so it seems like a fairly simple solution, sold for a high price, not providing lots of value.
surely authors could claim that there's lot's of advanced logic, feeding in data like visiting which countries creates most risk etc, but... they are doing this after the plane has departed:) this is not against "terrorists" as much as "we wouldn't want to admit this person in this country", i guess
well, it sounds like various factors have different score assigned to them and then it just calculates the end result. reminds me of bayesian filters we all use against email spam...
waitwait. unless slashdot is messing with me... you replied to my comment. which was aimed at this gem in the summary:
Twenty-seven such blades, called microliths by archaeologists, were found in layers of sand and soil dating as far back as 71,000 years ago and representing a time-span of about 11,000 years, showing how long humans were manufacturing the blades. Clever crafters The find lends credence to the idea that early humans were capable of passing on their clever ideas to the next generation of artisans, creating complex technologies that endured over time.
somebody copypasted article text, including an out of place heading. then article reviewer did a fucking great job of not even reading the submission - or being dead drunk. how can a sober (or up to 4-6 beers) person fail to see the out-of-sentece words is not clear to me.
the "privately funded updates" benefit from he original release way, way more than what they get (might) release back. an as the "release back" is so involuntary, pointing at the few cases of it happening makes it sound like some sort of charity. which it is not. humans are bad enough to feast on any opportunity. think of gpl as what capitalism is preached as - dealing and channeling basic human greed
Perhaps more importantly is that BSD Unix was a product of the University of California, a taxpayer funded entity, and they felt that all taxpayers should have equal access to their work. That the politics of picking good users and bad, approved uses of the software and unapproved, etc was wrong.
but that seems to sound like arguing yourself in a corner. if all taxpayers should have equal access, why should some have ability to benefit from it, but restrict others from benefiting from the original release ?
i'll attempt a bicycle analogy here;) let's say a city govt provided free bicycles. you can use them, but you should share them - you can't just grab one and claim it to be yours only. but... if you make the seat a bit more padded, or add a new reflector, then somehow you could make it yours only.
A video game licensed as free software could be modified to leak the decrypted WAD files.
the amount of games being funded on kickstarter makes me quite bold to shrug at that argument. i could not have enough time to play all those games already... business models change.
A tax program licensed as free software could be modified to leak the decrypted tax definition files.
i'd expect a tax office to define common format for tax laws, and distribute w/o any charge such definition files, which should then be used by software. we're past the baby steps of it, and i do believe they have at least a couple of competent people working for the tax office in every country.
germany should grow something first. they seem to have the most insane laws regarding open wifi, which results in lots of wasted time and resources when trying to use wifi in hotels etc there
you turned that out as if i had suggested arabs should have annihilated the just-created isreal, or that they should do it now. i do think the initial "carving" of a state was a fucking mistake. by now it can't be simply undone, so the best i can do is wonder why the people who might be considered the same nation in other circumstances fight so heavily.
and israelis took the land from palestinians first. with international support, mostly. and they both are genetically very close, so it's somewhat similar if bavarians would decide that saxons are their worst enemies:) oh, the great humankind.
it's interesting because just some 6 months ago people were having htc as a poster child of why embracing winphone is good for nokia. no failure possible there, just look at htc !
meego was nokia's winning ticket. they traded it for another dose of "free" drugs.
almost as if there were several message templates created by a marketing department that were then put together and slightly modified... (yeah, i'm posting this in response to the other message as well:> )

actually, meego probably had the biggest potential. they mostly killed it by _already_ ditching it. it probably is too late to properly revive it, not many would trust nokia anymore to develop for it...

apparently, in the usa, people are not mature enough for pornographic content. which does seem to include erotic content as well :)

never used an iphone, but n9 does it exactly like you want ;)

assuming the story is true, try to get n9 for her for a comparable period of time ;P
