EXACTLY THIS!

For the love of all that is sane, make external interfaces.

This has the added benefit of providing an easy to find definition of your non ERP standardized business practices.

If the data belongs in the ERP, it should be managed in the ERP. If it is not, that means your ERP configuration is missing important business workflows and practices. The more the ERP breaks, the less people trust it, and the more they try to do outside of it. Your ERP should not have several feeders of business rules data.

It is one thing for the external interfaces to have good data, and send good data. It is another to bury all the source data in separate apps. I'm just imaging 100 little spreadsheets and Access databases propagating bad information across each other. This value means this is Billy Bob's spreadsheet but in Peggy Sue it should be this value.

AHHHHHHH

How about a date range option. Something like Monthly, Yearly, All Time.

It'd be great if there was an option to see best apps from year to year.

At some point open source code needs revenue. Otherwise things like Heartbleed happen and then everyone complains that the biggest users of the open source aren't contributing back to the program to support it.

I'd rather have a couple of ads than have to remember to pay an annual fee to /., xda, and a bazillion other sites I visit.

The proper response the flight attendant should have made was tweeting back: We apologize for inconveniencing the other 200 people who followed proper boarding procedure. Have a nice day.

So are you talking about the passenger or the attendant? Cause that works both ways.

And at that rate everything will start being video taped for court records, etc.

Big brother every where because two individuals can't act like mature adults.

And if the father turns out to be the bigger a-hole in the issue, who ultimately loses?

Heck, overall, the only people who win are the lawyers. The rest of us end up paying higher airline tickets to cover the costs of stupid lawsuits.

The less people who fly SWA, especially with kids, the more attractive it becomes to those who don't care or don't have kids.

hee hee...

Not disagreeing, but clarifying

The way I read it, he had a 1st class ticket, but his kids were traveling economy. So he was trying to board them at the same time as first class, even though they were not.

On his other leg, the boarding agent allowed it. But on this portion the boarding agents disagreed.

So, rather than recognizing that the other agent had been extra nice granting him a privilege, he disparaged the one who followed the rules.

I'm sure there is more to the story, but the whole thing won't come out cause SW and the agent won't say anything else.

I also don't doubt that someone went a little excessive, but I suspect both sides overreacted.

I don't want to live in a world without bacon...

No problem. Just give them another NHL hockey team. They'll be too distracted to notice the water disappearing.

Another flying bus!!! So much for Col John Boyd and the E-M modeling...

History, we don't need to learn no history!

Biden: What does this big shiny red button do? I guess I'll push it and find out. Hmm... Nothing is happening. I'll just keep pushing it.

And the sad part is some CFO will see the video clip, override the CIO's IT Plan for updating their hardware infrastructure and then complain about a lack of 110% uptime
