At work we have a VCS that is obviously trying to compete with git while adding in the buckets of functionality people who actually pay for a VCS demand. Its OK, nicer to use than git, but not as powerful either. I think git-improved is on

My original post was that this is a step in the right direction. From one thing I happened to mention, this thread took a tangent about dropbox's lan sync, but thats not specifically or only the area I care about. There is a place I'd l

I've been noticing the ramifications of a consolidation around github for a while. The first was when I heard about githire. And there were other people were saying that they wanted to see your github user-page as a resume (or they wanted

That has a few big catches, including maintaining an internet connection and being in the same broadcast domain. And looks like it doesn't have lan-only drives, I maintain a box serving up samba shares specifically because the work files i

>so I can't 'change the password on all other sites because CouchDB uses a retarded security scheme'. So what? That's the trade off you signed up for when you decided to use the same password for 'low risk' sites.

This sounds awesome! I've been waiting to see a step this direction for a long time. For a lot of people dropbox is the best tool for files, but its ridiculous for the trip between two computers in the same room to have a layover in A3.

The school system I went to allowed it for a friend of mine, but he was born within a few weeks of the cutoff line. It probably varies from place to place, that kind of educational decision is made at the state level or lower.
