The corollary to that is I have a pretty good sense of the rust the polish is trying to cover up. It's funny how the outside reflects the quality of workmanship on the inside.

An open, fully connected environment is impossible and dangerous, which is why IoT is really a collection of separate networks. Forget all that other stuff you've heard

And, uh, oh....
I tested http://codeproject.com the Google Testing app couldn't find the site.
I tested http://www.codeproject.com and there are some issues as those of us with Android devices know.
Sorry, all CPians.
Knowledge is power though.
EDIT
Worse yet. Just tested stackoverflow.com and it passed. Ugh!

That guy is a complete nutcase.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Research suggests that large IT projects are at far greater risk of failure than smaller ones. Users, managers, analysts, operations, and developers?

Too big, too soon.
Basically if you 10 projects with a budget of $.5m you will get more than if you try one big project for $5m.

There was a very frank question pegged towards Slashdot readers a few months back, which I happened to stumble upon just by chance during some Googling. By broken he means, "Why don't they accept every feature request/submitted patch?"

Gatekeeping gone wrong. Sure. It's an old story. Not just in open source.
There is StackExchange, for example. A gazillion users and hardly any votes. I've given up on contributing myself because of the gatekeepers. Same goes for Wikipedia and friends.
Still, they do well without most of us. So, thank you all for the effort.

They can be soooooo annoying at StackOverflow, especially.
I mean I understand moderating, but I've contributed content I've really put time into and then some moderator comes along and, "oh, this isn't quite this or that and this answer doesn't belong here...blah, blah, yada yada"
Whatever!
I'm out!

Funnily enough, this is one of the prime reasons I stopped contributing to StackOverflow (that and the continual belittling of noobs).
I worry that we're in danger of going that way here with people abusing the ability to close questions and so on.

On the website for the HTTPS-Only "Standard", there is a statement that 'there is no such thing as insensitive web traffic' -- yet there is. Due to many institutions having policies against FTP and peer-to-peer protocols, HTTP has become the de facto standard in sharing scientific data.
HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2; it's all greek to me.
