Git's tagline is "everything local". But is that a good idea? Every developer has the company's entire codebase (including history) on his laptop. Which means it's just a tar and an scp away from delivering to his next place of employment.
But you can actually do sub repos , albeit I think they are a pain in the a$$ but yes you can do it.
In general I think a central server should be baked into the costs for any revision control proposal, just because it can run on your desktop does not mean it should.
"What happened to my merge!?", "Oh sorry man, I rebooted"
You make it sound like you have to buy an IBM mainframe just to host a git server... i bet my 386 could do it... maybe a little slow, but it would get there eventually. Just setup a old desktop computer as a "server" and let it run:)
And still the *only* complaint anyone here (a place where Microsoft is derided at every turn for stability, performance, and security) ever manages to come up with is their own opinion on launcher preferences.
because people being able to intuitively use an OS isn't that important? windows 8 and gnome 3 FTW!
but seriously I had the hardest time getting used to windows 8... now that I kinda have the hang of it I don't think it is that bad. Just takes some time to figure out how your actually supposed to use it.
Can't quite remember what we used for ours. Something that integrated with Eclipse, because our DB class was in Java...
Wait, a DB class requiring Access?
Isn't that specifically sanctioned against by the Geneva Convention? I certainly consider Access a crime against humanity.
Thats what I thought! but to be fare it was only for a few assignments then we switched to oracle etc.
The one that immediately comes to mind is my DB class requiring Access for one of the projects... if I sat down and thought about it I could probably come up with more.
I'm the college kid, with the macbook pro, in the computer science class.
Surprisingly macbooks are becoming more popular yet our teachers still insist on using MS products and languages. I know in the *real* world there are a lot of MS jobs etc, but there are also a lot of cross platform jobs too (i'm a php developer, dont judge). Drives me nuts when I have to spin up a VM just to use a program thats Windows specific because the requirements for the project/program/lesson are for a windows machine. Some teachers are willing to accept alternatives, but not all.
But when we buy our server hardware we buy them blank and install linux ourselves... does it account for that type of situation? If not then revenue certainly would be skewed to M$ (that and in my experience it doesn't take as much hardware/$ to get similar performance from a linux server)

...Access? For a DB class?

oh this made my day ... specially if you go read the blog and listen to the phone calls!
The rest of the family is fully capable of troubleshooting basic windows problems, more or less.
you mean restart?
