I don't think this is a "programmers problem". From thinking about it, and reading the approaches discussed here, it looks more like a mathematical problem. Finding a good strategy for linking the data and making suggestions seems far more important than hacking a good (my)SQL-query.
For government departments, especially, this policy would improve quality and cut costs significantly, simply because anyone wishing to offer their skills would have access to the information they need.
Absoluteley true. I managed the implementation of something like this (customized OpenSource solution). But in the first year we had to spend real money: part of the contract was an usable documentation of the customized code.

Me(IM): hm, I'm hungry
Bro(IM): me2
Me(IM): gonna make a pizza
Bro(IM): yeah, good idea...

Both: "you are at home??"
Corporations *should* have a social responsibility and conscience.
No, they must not have that. Thats what the governement is for, and taxes are paid. Having said that, I actually agree on your overall point: Corporations should think about longer-term options. That includes their reputation (e.g. bad one leeds to less sales), which is badly damaged by fast large-scale outsourcing.
I had the same thought - everybody knows my pets name etc.
I always make up a fake answer (It's always the same answer, just different questions) - that way, even someone with super-personal info (significant other, parents..) can NOT know the right answer.
As I said, we hired someone (actually a company) to customize it, write some custom workflow and special document types, everything relativly easy and we were done. It's now running for nearly 3 years, 1 admin, 1projectmanager, 4 main-editors and nearly 250-basic-authors (2000pages). No problems so far, nearly no running costs.
Uh, did you eve *really* try plone?
YES: * Not having stupid URLs like/cms.cgi?pageid=1234
YES: * Putting lots of s in the layout rather than using semantic markup
YES (in-page link "jump to content"): * Putting page content too late in the page so search engines have to work harder to find it, or generally being unfriendly to robots
YES: * Not setting page metadata usefully
YES: * Not including accessibility features like access keys, forcing ALT text, jump to navigation
YES (with plugin) * Not providing stylesheets for different @media
"The data is there" (Logs) * Not integrating well with analysis tools so you can see where people are coming from, what they do, whether your visitors are going up or down, are they reading the pages you think they should be reading, etc.
YES (2.5): * Speed
YES: * Providing workflow which is either too difficult to set up, or too complicated to understand for the users, or over/under-kill for the requirements of the site
Only:
No * Ease of configuration (hello, Plone)
But: you only do that once. We hired someone to do it.
This is not about legal or illegal. It's about guaranteed (human) rights.
If some one murders me and
a) he is convicted
b) it is illegal (should be)
c) he should be punished (by the law)
True - but that doesn't make it your right?
Right for freedom as in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
I'm sorry, but you are wrong. We all have the right of freedom, but no right for security.
I'm not for terrorism or against the police, but freedom has to come first.
Nope, you are wrong. Ubuntu/Canonical offers 5 years of support for "Dapper Drake" as a server. Only because you don't consider it at Desktop OS (like lots of other people, including me) it is not unusable on a server.
You are just wrong:
The possession of a nuclear bomb is illegal under the law, not that of a banana. Comparison to search engines: They are not illegal.

Far less than into a satellite, I am sure of that!
No, the pressing would be needed nine months later.
Shouldn't it be named "VDNG MCHN"?
Connections means "calls", not "phones".
Did you tried getting hired as a consultants for layoffs at that company?
Impossible to implement in a business world! How could you even dream of a really nice slide http://presentationzen.blogs.com/.shared/image.htm l?/photos/uncategorized/complexity_bill.jpg without PowerPimp?

You can measure the field caused by different spin directions.
but: installed = usable = choice = better
Is that a) Insightfull b) Funny or c) Troll? Is there a "this-is-so-obviously-insightfull-that-it-is-funny "-button?

I think Apple will provide a new PowerMac line first.

No. This is not Apple-related stuff. Then we would have 12 posts for each of the twelcve tennets...

Uh, I didn't know /. had an integrated "Joke" subsection filed under Games.
