A web browser isn't akin to plumbing, rather it would be closer to a fixture. And I do understand why folks would want to update their fixtures often.

The upgrade difficulties in large organizations are often brought upon themselves with poor adherance to public standards and insufficient test automation. Last I checked, Google itself is a large organization, and they don't seem to have a

First there was Rejection Therapy and now this. I'm sure there's merit to this stuff but how many of these practices can one adopt before they transition from conqueror to masochist?

This feature has been one of the persistent justifications in my organization for spending money on Weblogic 10 for a time period unknown to me. Seeing this in Tomcat makes me hopeful for a world free of application servers...someday.

Can I safely assume the downvotes are from those who think blocking the user's site interaction with a full screen lightbox is good UX?

Please get rid of your browser evangelism, no matter how clever it might be. I know very well that I shouldn't be using Internet Explorer. If I had any choice in the matter, I wouldn't

Indeed, the submission title unfortunately omits the distinction between "Big-A Agile" and being agile. It's an omission that almost caused me not to click.

Do you mean to imply that patent trolling shouldn't affect how we develop software? I hope you don't, because then you're suggesting that we remain at the behest of those who set patent policy. No other way to say it, that's just a bad plan

If ever there were a better argument for eschewing app development in favor of the mobile web, this must be it.

Well, what's a worse precedent? Being technically innocent of infringement since you skipped a single bit on the end of a download or the court ignoring your intent? Intent has been the cornerstone of many copyright infringement defenses. I

I'm fairly certain that deep packet inspection would be required for an ISP to connect customer to IP address to visited resource. That being said, it would be trivial for an ISP to log the date and time each customer held a given IP addres

I know this is a tangent and that this story isn't about dependency management, but it's important to me and I've spent a good amount of time trying to understand it completely. I spent what I thought to be a generous amount of time trying

It most certainly is NOT fud. There are real consequences to your suggestion in the form of higher prices for both fuel and hardware. Right now we commute because it makes economic sense to commute, but if the fossil fuel cars and their fue

The disadvantage at this point is that our current capacitance technology is less energy dense and slower to replenish than a fossil fuel tank. What happens when your daily commute doesn't fit comfortably within the vehicle's range? Energy

That seems to refer to Subversion, which seems to jive with the top bar graph.

Right, I was wondering about that too. Same for CVS.

Your character wasn't attacked, your credibility was. It's perfectly legitimate to question your credibility if the questioner believes your source to be biased. An ad Hominem attack would be calling you stupid for linking the biased source
