Thanks for the info. Yargh...anyone know of possible alternatives out there? What a PITA..

Thanks this is extremely helpful.

Even if there /is/ a signed non-compete agreement signed by Hurd, this type of contractual agreement is notoriously difficult to get courts to enforce in California~

Your insight is worthwhile, thanks :)

Who let this question through? It doesn't even seem controversial. I am not aware of any good reason to routinely give developers access to production.

"Boy racer"-isms coming from "thesupraman". Awesome.

Hard to bash Supra's with stuff like this, though:

Thanks for the insight~ your comment almost makes me want to start playing this game. Then the reality of the whole subscription thing comes into play and it a total buzz kill though :\

You seem confused. She would be more likely to say something along the lines of "Both are boys born on a Tuesday!".

This is the most insightful comment I've encountered on this matter. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, talk about a misleading story. Oh well, it's hard to be surprised with /. anymore.

Offtopic, I know, but do any of you know of any sites better than slashdot? Or does (mostly) intelligent discussion just not exist on the internet..

Ya, and have you ever tried to perform a slashcode install? It is a fucking nightmare, and there is little help. The slashcode available isn't even the current version used to power /., as far as I was able to tell. Hence why you don't see much slashdot slashcode clone sites..

If you know I'm wrong then please feel free to enlighten me..

they already have security geniuses at google. I know for a fact that they do not feel much need to hire external parties.

mmm hot thanks!

You meant "Effects"..way to go
