Want to rewrite to be more "modern", ask netscape. Wait, you can't. They pulled the same stunt and lost valuable time and went out of business. If you still update these sites, try refactoring just the bits you need to update. If you update them often enough, you'll have an updated application and you'll learn refactoring skills in the meantime.

You would only undertake the effort if it gave a payoff in return. Will your visitors "see" a difference? Will they care they are browsing on a "modern stack"? Probably not.

I have all google services quarantined and every google domain name blocked via AdAway. I'd like to know how they were shipping this information out to see if I have it blocked. The article is devoid of technical information.

It teaches a lesson, Don't test in Production ...

What does he say? I don't know, I don't speak a word of the language!

Lost opportunity, they could've honey-potted him with lots of fake info to get big oil going totally wrong!

The segment title "The Winter of our Discount Tent" is just classic!

The article seems a bit pessimistic.

Not enough food,

More people = more farmers

not enough space,

More people = more builders

not enough medical care.

More people = more doctors

Hopefully: More people = more knowledge. The future is bright, don't be so glum.

The one it's fly through? That term doesn't generally need to be clarified when speaking of technology; but this is one of those exceptions. :-P

Now they are starting to censor books

Strawman much?!? What a load of crap. I'm not pro-censorship but they ARE NOT CENSORING BOOKS. No more than arresting (actual Captain Phillips type) pirates is censoring free trade.

And having cars phone home to big brother *doesn't* need infrastructure and changes?

Don't convince them write a static html page with frames or iframes to survey monkey and call it done. Tell them it'll take a couple of weeks to test and debug and then upload it to their volunteer signup URL.

BTW, this is the classic ROI conundrum. The work used once a year will NEVER payoff, but you just can't convince some customers of that. :/

Good. Forks are a good way for those who disagree to still get along. Debian and Forked-ian and still share patches (outside of the init process) and stay in sync easily ... if that is what they choose to do. So we will wind up with the choice of Debian-classic or Debian-with-sprinkles. Cool.

This reminds me of GNU Emacs and XEmacs, they disagree (or lack legal rights to make code free) on the basics but a lot of the elisp is kept in sync. Choice is G(NU)ood.

That's not a dashboard, that's a reporting system that joins dashboarding and reporting. Dashboards are current transient data. Anytime you go back in time, that's a report. You just supported the OP's claim.
