Ugg I hate it when I spend all day customizing my linux kernel and those IT scumbags can't debug it for me. How many other people have trouble authenticating with the exchange server? or is having WAN latency issues? My guess, few to none. If you want to run software that the rest of the company doesn't run, expect to do your own IT support and helpdesk.

That is freaking hilarious! I bet you are a dick everyday about problems you create and they have found a way to just fuck with you.

I would have to agree. I am a PHP developer for a small Design Company and I work on these types of sites on a daily basis. Out of all the sites I have created I have only used one CMS, Wordpress, and it was a nightmare to train the end user. There were a ton of menus and the majority of options she never used. Granted Wordpress is significantly more robust but in the end do you want your $tech_inept_end_user mucking about so much. My clients love the products I develop because I make it as simple and user proof as possible. I would keep that in mind when looking at open source cms.

Wow what a testament to Google. Mark Cuban is basically saying that nobody has a product that could even hope of competing with Google and the only way to conceivably take them down is to bribe their clients with gobs of money.

After RTFA I think you are spot on. The city is not denying him access. He can view the laws at three different locations. From there if he wants he can make as many copies as he wishes. .25 cents a sheet is not an outrageous price for having somebody else copy from a bound source. I know Office Depot and Staples charge more than that. One of the places listed was a Community College. I'm sure he could do it cheaper if he was willing to do the work. OR he can wait for development to finish and get it free off their website. Right now due to I'm guessing a poor decision back in the eighties they had the data locked in a format. It looks like the got on the ball and are unlocking it. I think this city is going above and beyond the call of duty and is providing an example for others to follow by putting it out on the web in a searchable fashion.

Yes it did. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-5906892-7.html

So what's wrong with that? I love it when a client of mine enjoys my work, but I love it more when they pay me for it.

A tad over zealous, don't you think? Spam is a business and as such we need to hit it were it hurts. If we stop the flow of money to spammers we effectively stop the spammers. Teach every person you know how to spot spam, how to avoid it, how to not click it and the simple restraint of not signing up for every god damn "Free" offer. I am generally spam, virus, and malware free because I assume I'm not the one millionth visitor to EVERY site I go to.
