Media are already plural. The singular is "medium".
BTW, I don't know where you live, but here in Europe, we usually understand "Europe" to mean "that big peninsula thing hanging off the west end of Asia, in between the Atlantic and the Urals".
SVN has been working just fine for my group for a number of years. We have a total of about 35 people across 7 or 8 teams using the same set of repos and build server. We've discussed moving to git because our dev organisation use it, but if and when we do, we'll probably continue to use SVN as our front end, because git introduces complexities that most of us simply do not need in our day-to-day work. We sometimes branch but very seldom merge. (*My* job unfortunately includes the major exception to the latter case, but due to the nature of things, I'm *always* going to be stuck with doing this manually no matter what CVS we use. BTW, SVN rocks when it comes to performing reverse merges when you've committed something stupid and just need it to go away ASAP.)
We use SVN in maintaining both the huge set of docs for which we're responsible (XML plus pulls from software sources plus various other text and binary assets) plus the backend for processing them (Perl, Python, PHP, ruby, shell, XSLT, FOP, javadoc, Doxygen, heaps of Makefiles, etc.) and it does just great.
If you weren't so busy looking for neckbeards to mod-bomb, maybe you'd have time to read and (maybe just maybe comprehend) a post before you replied to it?
For individual projects and small teams--yeah, sure. We even use some for those things.
The biggest problem with wikis is that they're flat and amorphous. The *two* biggest problems with wikis are that they're flat, amorphous, and they don't scale. The *three* biggest problems problems with wikis are that they're flat, they're amorphous, they don't scale, and they possess no intrinsic semantics. The *four* biggest problems, then--*Amongst* the biggest problems with wikis are issues such as... Wait, I'll come in again.
Amongst the greatest problems with wikis are such diverse issues as being flat, being amorphous, non-scalability, lack of intrinsic semantics, and nice red uniforms--oh, damn!
And now that I'm thinking of installing one, it seems they're all getting co-opted by the people who make the ads... Might have to go with something like Privoxy instead.
Alas, it's quite unfortunate that you feel obliged to distract us from the *content* of your message by indulging in *attention-seeking behaviour* through forcing us to read it in a fixed-width font. Especially here, where I'm willing to bet that the majority of readers equate fixed-width with code. And you're not posting code. Maybe you don't realise it, but what you're actually accomplishing with that is to make it obvious that you suffer from low self-esteem, and that's totally unnecessary.
Why don't you get over yourself, and let your worthy message speak for itself?
When I'm too busy congratulating myself over what I've perceived as a clever achievement to notice a flaw that should have been obvious to me (and it does happen), I sure as fuck do.
I don't use an ad-blocker, mostly because most of the sites I visit don't have that many ads. But occasionally I follow links from here or other forums to sites, usually based in the US, and I see what folks are complaining about.
Did anybody happen to see the travesty that took up about half of the main page yesterday on ArsTechnica? It made big multicoloured tracers follow your mouse pointer all over the freakin' page. AND it had a fake "close" button. What cocaine-encrusted marketing cretin thought that would be a nice thing to spring on people?
I can't believe anybody is able to suggest "government-only backdoors" while keeping a straight face, in the wake of this recent epic FAIL based on exactly the same premise.

IOW because they are lazy, incompetent, or both.
Look everyone, it's another thinks-he's-clever-and-original 12-year-old AC would-be meme-jammer.
We're supposed to take the word of an AC who can't spell "fuck"? I'm defo with that, eh.

Horse puckey. Australia, anyone?
Yes.
Not sure that our cat ever forgave us, though.

Just a thought.

Why not? That's just Swedish for "good", after all.

You make some very insightful posts.

Google Earth works great for me. OpenSUSE 13.1.
Unfortunately, it's a bit of both.
IMNSHO, it's been the latter since they switched from cookies.txt to cookies.sqlite.

I generally agree with what you post, but this time I think you've confused cause and effect.
It is not a copy; it is a reimplementation.
