Historically JIRA has toed the line of being minimally acceptable to keep teams from transitioning to competitors, but their recent outage has left such a sour impression of their engineering and operations processes that they have finally crossed the line from minimally acceptable to completely unacceptable.
We're currently evaluating alternatives and what a transition plan may look like for ~5k issues with attachments/comments/mockups etc. Any products out there with a built-in JIRA migration tool?
I highly recommend companies to setup an internal wiki for many of the same reasons. A culture of knowledge sharing makes for a great work environment especially if the information is easily searchable.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "tough enough for CS" ? There are definitely difficult disciplines in CS, but few of those will be required courses in an undergraduate curriculum. The best indicator of success in CS (or any other field) is passion. If you are passionate about your field of study then the "toughness" of the program shouldn't be a major factor in your decision making... certainly not if you've already been accepted to Yale and Berkeley.
While very tongue-in-cheek, it's disappointing that internet service, something that most of us rely upon as much as power or water, has such little competition. I'm hopeful that the Google Fiber project can inject some competition into the market if they continue to expand beyond Kansas City.
I've used Linode to host my personal website and various side projects over the last 2 years and I've been very pleased. For low traffic sites and small apps the $20 per month plan has been sufficient.
Since WhoIsGuard.com seems to be a subsidiary of NameCheap, I suppose this subpoena would require the release of billing information in addition to the 'protected' whois record.
I'm as big a fan of Ubuntu as anyone, and I'm glad to see Dell supporting a MS alternative. However, the absence of a fully supported Linux version of iTunes prevents me from adopting Ubuntu as my primary operating system.
