Though this does follow the qualities of a contract, it's important to note that oral agreements only get you so far in many jurisdictions and particularly have an upper limit on the value, around the order of $500. So while its great this is an explicit and clear conversation, I don't think you can say that it is assuring unenforceable agreements aren't made.
Regarding the "ignored" message sent via Facebook, it's possible that the message didn't hit the recipient's inbox but the "Other" folder if the sender and recipient weren't friends. That has happened to me a number of times.
I did purchase this because I will find it very useful, but I do want to say that providing an ePub format is clutch. Please, please do what you can to provide this format in the future!
Are you talking about the ones right near the arrow keys? I loved those! Unfortunately (or fortunately for you!) they seem to be gone on the newest T series, replaced by PgUp and PgDn.
What do you mean "Forget passwords, they have cookies..."? Since when is having a cookie better than having the password that can give you the cookie anyway?
Just want to chime in, it looks like Obama is heading out[1] after answering only ten questions. I think it's fair to call that disappointing when the thread had more than 12,000 comments.
I see this guy's point, and I understand it's not unique (we've seen Linus' thoughts on Github's Pull Requests), but personally I don't see it as a big deal. Pull Requests are very simple to use and in my experience, do what they are meant to very well.
I recently made my first contribution to an existing open source project, and it was an interesting experience. One of the things I always wondered was, how do I go from "Ok, I have a bug fix / new feature" to "Great, it's part of the software now!". For this particular project it was as simple as forking the Github repository, making my changes, and sending a pull request- done. I could leave that Github repo on my account to easily show off my contribution to friends or potential employers, or delete it if I felt it was clutter. I didn't have to learn how `git am` or `git send-email` work or making a patch and sending it to a development list or anything like that.
And if someone wants to contribute to a project of mine on Github, but they don't want to use Github's system, that's cool too. If you're willing to help me out, I'll gladly learn how to take your contribution and get it into my project.
