and works across functional groups as well (http://trac.edgewall.org/). It is mainly geared towards software development efforts, and integrates very well with major version control systems. It also has an integrated bug-tracking system, wiki, and a host of plugins that allow for task-dependencies, project planning, binning tasks into specific milestones, setting time limits on sub-tasks, and in general everything you possibly want to do in a software development environment. In addition, you can create your own plugins, Gantt charts etc if so inclined. You mainly plan and execute projects through "tickets", which could be a task, bug, enhancement, whatever. The meta-data for each ticket can be customized, though the out-of-the-box implementation is pretty useful. And its open-source.

Their flight plan is complicated. They should use my optimized algorithm to get from point A to point B along a curved surface. They'll save even MORE than 25% on fuel

Enough with the over-exaggeration, she seriously has to close the windows? Maybe shes watching TV too loud in the first place. And Ive never seen an ad that pumps up the volume more than a few bars if at all, so rather than trying to get her name on a piece of legislature, she should focus on her own habits?

She should publicly identify the actual movie theater and the managers involved in the prosecution, and that would be a sure way to make them pay through the negative publicity. This is getting totally out of hand, the ridiculous "crackdown" on movie piracy.

are sexually abused by the Internet? I always knew that its only a matter of time before these large "pipes" would start doing real damage, and the "service providers" would think of other ways to screw innocent kids over

section on Jay Leno!

as the article says " the process will take a bit 1220 minutes.", then the entire upgrade will take 2000,000 years for a 1 GB upgrade

and vice versa. I think it would be pretty difficult to find a scientist who has the specialized knowledge required to pilot a space exploratory vehicle, and unless thïey plan on zero human intervention to guide this thing, then there would have to be at least one person who is a proper astronaut to accompany them. If they do find one whose willing to never come back, then excellent! I love the fact that just because some ancient scientists are willing to leave here forever to further the cause of space exploration, we actually think that this is a feasible option.

it is a free web based service. they are not required to publish anything regarding their algorithm, let alone making it understandable by non CS folk. Google search does not ship with any OS, nor does it insert itself as the default search engine, browsers do that. If people dont like it, use Bing or whatever. The argument of * most people *choose* to use Google, they need not * therefore Google must supply all necessary informtion that we ask of them so that we can tune our product to rank higher makes no sense, and I wonder if any law can uphold this. The "Italian competition authorities" will have a tough time justifying how a free service with no coersion of any sort to force a user to use their product can be anti-competitive

according to the BBC. Apple has denied any legitimate claims about the battery exploding, and has said ""The iPhones with broken glass that we have analysed to date show that in all cases the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone.". And the fact that they used an "s" in "analysed" proves that its the BBC. Move on people, and lets see a post about the kidnapped 11 year old found after 18 years

> Last year, the program crashed at least four times and was plagued by errors that led to botched schedules, an overcount of students and mistakes on report cards Maybe the units are wrong.

The queues are long enough at the gas station already without having to wait for people to get EVERY LITTLE SEED out before pumping their cars full..

It seems that if we managed this 40 years ago, we should be able to do it again without making it sound so difficult

If you're the manager responsible for the overall system infrastructure, look at this as a big red waving flag. Your company has reached a stage where there is a definite need for an IT specialist, and the networking infrastructure, file server needs etc are already beginning to outgrow the current capability. This would be a good time to have a Systems Administrator in-house, since this position is very often overlooked in the context of a small company, who has a limited budget for "immediate needs" in your domain (biotech, wireless, web, whatever). Assuming that your company intends to grow, not shrink, so will the IT needs and demands upon the infrastructure. Before you know it, adding more people, getting more projects. will spill over into increases storage requirements (SANs etc), failover policies, daily, weekly, monthly backups and tape archival issues, fileserver issues, remote access to employees, etc etc just for starters. This person may or may not become the eventual lead of your Systems team, but they will go a long way towards solving major and minor IT problems, and eventually a team can be built around/over/under that person when you become a 100 person mid-size company. Im working in one now, and a smart move would be to start putting the systems administrator position on your next budget. And this has nothing to do with IP or looking at proprietary data, though having an in-house person would deal with it for sure. The external company would be bound by NDA/CDAs, and the contract to not divulge any proprietary information, thats a basic line in any contract between 2 companies in a collaboration. This has to do with planning for the IT needs of your company in advance, and not ignoring this need as a "nice to have". It's not, you need to have someone who can support you and the other employees fulltime.

is required to upgrade to 3.0. While its not a big deal for individual computers, in an office environment its not as trivial..another one of Apples (not so) subtle schemes to get you using a particular software version whether you like it or not? And the "new" features are pretty pathetic really, more like they should have been in the 2.0 version of the software.
