Between 1.1 and 2.0 it certainly did. Just that between 2.0 beta/RCs, it didn't. (Though, to be fair, it DID get functional enhancements in each RC starting with 2.0 RC2. The buddy/ignore dialogue didn't exist until RC2, load balancing came UI was in either RC2 or RC3, I seem to remember something else in RC3, RC4 and RC5 brought hook improvements)

The database is not any different from RC4 as far as I remember.

Using that logic, I can run OS X on my AMD... nope, doesn't work like that.
No, but you *can* run them on an Intel based PC. The only reason it doesn't work so well on an AMD is simply because the Mac hardware setup is all Intel based, so everything's compiled for Intel. Some stuff will work, some stuff won't, and some will be workably fragile.

I think you got something back you already earned long time ago.
Nope, I don't think it was that long ago...

Mac's use PC hardware, there is hardly anything special about Mac's hardware.
Well, it is a very specific set of PC hardware, to be precise. It is possible to run OS X on a PC provided that it's an Intel and has similar/same type of graphics and sound attached...

Microsoft TOOK AWAY our IE 5
No, they obsoleted it. IE 6 was, for its time, quite an improvement over IE 5/5.5. As for IE on Mac, they never really wanted to make it in the first place, just like IE for Unix. It only came along because in the late 1990s, they invested in to Apple and turned out MS Office for Mac, but it was never going to be long-lived - especially since most Mac users stuck it out with existing Mac solutions at the time.

Without a Install and Repair DVD in Hand?!?
You know you can make one yourself, right? Nothing says you can't do that. And you can buy it on USB stick, though there is a cost attached to that, because that particular stick also comes with a Leopard -> Snow Leopard licence (making it ~$69)

It's been a hell of a year :)

Hopefully it'll spawn into Facebook. Or something else.
I'm going for the something else category since being Facebook is not actually a particularly desirable prospect, seeing how that would give us a reputation for not caring about little details like privacy in favour of making money off users...

I did study French at school, and while your English is easily better than my French was then, that plus Google Translate means I can follow normal conversations...

It's supposed to be a mark of respect for former team members (or major non-team contributors[1]) to show recognition of their effort.

Considering the relative exclusivity of the badge, it always amazed me how things went down, namely that it seemed that most people who went to Friends were treated as outcasts if they were even remotely active (as in, if you're active, you're active enough to be on the team)

I'm presuming that it's his profile saying Friend. Given that I knew last week that he'd resigned this is not a surprise to see it actioned. In fact, if what I think is the case, it means upholding the rules on the matter (7 day wait from resignation to actioning it)

I for one wish him the best of luck in whatever he does. Draw your own conclusion as to the reason for that sentiment.

Off-topic / Found this today

I read a bunch of comics online, but somehow I never found Not Invented Here until today.

In particular, http://notinventedhe.re/on/2010-1-28 struck me as relevant, because it reminds me of a certain platform's approach to a certain administrative area that may possibly need some rethinking :whistle:

I think it's something we're interested in doing like that, and as suggested, we might make it bigger - not just a list of topics you're interested in, but also a list of topics you're *not* interested in, since the actual logic is virtually identical.

I would think that including a new existing project would also mean accepting it's current team as is
Which was my concern, that if SimpleDesk were taken over, I'd be taken with it onto the project team, which I don't want. Alternatively it'd go to a vote, and I wouldn't be taken on.
Quote
It can't very well work to accept a project, and then ditch it's team...
You see the problem then. Either the project would take over SimpleDesk and have no developers, or it takes over SimpleDesk and has me as a developer. Since I don't see it having me as a developer (even if I wanted to, which I don't), it would have to accept said project and find a new developer.

Unless, we'd be starting a fork of some existing project with a new team, for example like Wedge is doing.
Just like I called it at the time, then...
