Of course not _all_, but then the hit rate is pretty low in any industry which relies on some sort of artistic merit. I recall an Apple 'meet the filmmaker' event with Noel Clarke about his latest film. I asked him what he saw as

Many causes behind this - saying the Chinese are to blame is glossing over the issue IMO and is very much akin to saying tech workers are behind the property issues in SFO. There are more sides to this... One of major contributors to rising

Ah yes, The Gone Jackals. After finishing Full Throttle and being so smitten by that tune I resolved to find a copy of their album 'Bone to Pick'. As a 12 year old kid it took me some time to figure out where to buy it but definit

The UK had over 350 deaths in one year alone! Really reminds one what the UK was dealing with during the height of the conflicts in Northern Ireland. Also helps me at least understand why the UK feels a little more fortress like (cameras ev

Hi Dave, firstly thanks for all the hard work on Openfire over the years, very much appreciated. Secondly regarding XEP-0136 support in OF. I did state that Openfire has only recently had 'XEP-0136 implemented across the board'. W

I wonder if the original demand for Concorde between NYC-LDN was due to the clear link as major financial centers. As video and audio conferencing proliferated the demand for in person meetings amongst customers in finance would have gone d

Same. Don't wrap the cable round those ears, just loop it separately and always pull the connector from the connector housing not by yanking the cable and you can expect years of service (2008 Magsafe charger and iPhone cables and stil

You make a very good point. This is something that London (at least) does well. Council housing is available across the city and you will often find amongst some of the wealthiest parts of the city alternating blocks of council housing. It

Looks like they're making all the right noises in order to be a viable successor to XMPP. Really does look good, but seems to be in its very early stages. Reminds me of what the Layer guys were trying to do (at least in their initial m

Pretty much this. Openfire for instance only recently had XEP-0136 implemented across the board on the server side. In the meanwhile I couldn't find a single client with decent support for chat archiving (XEP-0136) on the client side.

Developer interest is on the wane in pretty much every XMPP project out there. That's the main issue. XMPP is very much alive in large businesses, especially for system to system interop, but as far as client to server goes I don'

Having used and developed with XMPP day in and out for the past 9 years I'd have to agree with the sentiments towards XMPP being on life support. It's a real damn shame because XMPP is pretty awesome. It's open for one, can b

Had the same experience with a large communication equipment manufacturer (who you'd think would understand firewall rules better!). This is pretty normal to be honest. I doubt there are many companies who are 100% on top of things, bu

PG had a good quote (paraphrasing) that when a co-founder has less than 50% of the company one has to ask why you'd pick someone who doesn't bring as much to the table as you do. As andriesm says, a constructive discussion is in

Did change in diet play a part in getting rid of your allergies? I only ask because a great deal of recent research suggests our behaviour is strongly affected by our gut bacteria which are in turn affected by our overall diet.

One of the few products I find irreplaceable is Fusion. The fact that we could test and build on our desktops in Fusion or Workstation and deploy straight to VSphere kept us hooked on VMware's products. With this change we're goin
