Just to reiterate the obvious, this is because Confluence is a wiki...NOT a CMS. So saying Confluence is only 58% complete is untrue. It only makes up to 58% of a CMS comparison list. Which for a wiki is pretty good.

Funny, I just had this happen last night. The wife accidentally knocked it over when pulling out the drum kit as we were in the process of changing instruments for Rock Band 2. This caused it to start clicking like crazy. I tried to turn it off as soon as possible but it was too late! There goes my turn to dish out some serious Beastie Boys.

He calculated that 40 hours of gameplay (or 2,000 offline matches) would garner him the last 60 points needed to unlock content on his Xbox 360. Should people that have the knowledge to 'hack' interfaces to games be praised for their engineering innovation or be indited as cheaters? I personally think that game bots are a great way to enter the world of artificial intelligence but am disappointed when the most effective ideas are the simplest unintelligent scripts or mods."
