tweaks to models to adjust for observations/measurements (and adding previously unknown variables) == whole theory is wrong because models are not 100% accurate

Oh, wait. you adjust your theories to fit preconceived notions rather than adjusting to observation.

At least they can communicate effectively at how well they are cleaning dishes.

I can pick up a pen and paper too but I don't think anyone wants to see that kind of instant gratification.

Kids on your lawn again.. amiright?

Good god man. What have you done? The robots will now know that there is inherent roboticism in our media now. The end is nigh.

How else do I tell people how to do something so I don't have to? I have no idea what engineers do or how they do it and I don't want to know! Engineers can do it yea sure but that's boring. *I* have imagination, and vision (and I saw an episode of Dr. Who last night!). Engineers should just listen to me, obviously. /snark

That's what the government wants you to think!

Right there, do you see it? That small pixelated unrecognizable area next to that rock. Must be aliens.

Protip: If you zoom in on the pixelated area the evidence that it is aliens become clearer. The more you zoom the clearer it becomes.

sauce or it didn't happen.

Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie. It's the Ring meets Maximum Overdrive... God help us.

Hear here.

Show me the error bars. Best advice given by a high school science teacher.

+1 Trac :)

I actually just implemented Trac at the company I am with. They were in a similar state for their issue tracking (mouth, emails, sticky note, short bursts of development with potentially very long intervals between software releases). I did a little research and ended up with Trac http://trac.edgewall.org/ It comes with a wiki, issue tracking, integrated source control (if you want it), easy searching/reports, plugins, SVN plugin, and it's open source. It is a web-based system so keep that in mind.

Installation was easy as well. You can set up yourself (perl, apache, mysql, etc.) Or you can use Bitnami to install a fresh instance https://bitnami.com/stack/trac... there is plenty of documentation to get an instance installed and configured fairly easily. For non-techies the Bitnami installation is huge because "out of the box" it works fairly well. Configuring will take a little know how but once that is done it's smooth sailing.

We just released it to a wider audience of our customers and the feedback has been well received. It took a little time for me to setup but within a few days it was up and running behind SSL and authenticated to our active directory with LDAP. Anyone on our network can easily log in and the permissions are set up as a per project basis (each user is assigned to a project group that can view/edit wiki,tickets of their associated project group).

It has only been a short time since we released it so there still might be some growing pains but it so far has help us get away from change requests in word documents and email.

Funny enough, I was about to ask /. the same question months ago before I landed on Trac. Hope this helps. Good luck!
