You're not. Jira is run over many different servers. I think that accounts for a great deal of the difference in experience. We self host Jira and it's not slow for us.

For me what is particularly galling is that the state department had already vetted and approved this person. Remember, part of the visa application includes your social media profiles, so he's already been vetted. Then some random CB

I think you may be underestimating the need for an API. We're a small company (17 employees) and we wouldn't consider it without an API. Remember lots of systems generate leads/customers, so if you don't want to provide

Those decades of history are largely talking about a PHP that doesn't exist any more. Yes, the language has it's warts, but if you think $language doesn't, you're just new to it. There are many large PHP projects that ge

My special pet peeve is when the country list has been translated, but uses the sorting order of the english names. So much find searching for Deutschland under G. Seems to happen quite a bit.

Boeing has nothing to do with the engines. They are purchased by the end user/airline.

What does this have to do with Boeing? Engine was from Rolls-Royce. The customer decides what engines they want to install on the plane.

Why should it be different than any other ForEx trading?

The problem with your theory is that "peak version" is different for every user of the software.

Outlook can't even display raw TEXT consistently. We have a confirmation email that goes out when somehow submits to our contact us form. In all email clients except outlook, the footer is on two lines (because there is a CR there). l

Not sure how that applies, but I'm pretty sure that's not true. Where outside the USA is that still a commonly held belief?

I'm guessing we have a failure in communication between the poster and ebay support. Additionally, a seller on ebay probably fat fingered their ebay information, so when the item was sold, the seller accused the customer of fraud (I ne

The iMac Pro is a fantastic machine, so if you want a workstation, that's probably your best bet. Hell, even the 27" iMac is a great "everyday driver." I do software development + sysadmin and am very happy with my iMac.

Do you actually use a mac? Because I've NEVER had that happen to me. Ever. The trackpad software is exceptionally good at detect errant touches. Maybe my experience is abnormal.

Is this your first year? Because this is completely contrary to my experience. Salespeople are some very driven folks but honesty and a desire to help customers solve needs is not a common trait.
