Re:Why I finally ditched Jira on Friday September 09, 2016 @12:29PM (#12463742)
They only say "no" to something you (think you) really need at this moment :) Say, https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-4446 "Sub-issues should be able to contain their own sub-issues" -- #6 on the list of top voted for.

Compare and contast http://oldweb.today/ -- which lets you browse Internet Archive'd sites with browsers of their era.

Why not go farther back in time, to BBN BitGraph? :-) There's a DVI previewer and netpbm converter for it, gnuplot supports those as well -- http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dvibit, http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbmtobbnbg.html and http://www.gnuplot.info/docs_4.2/node423.html
Looks like they stopped updating the data in 2014.

yes, that's Gibson's "Pattern Recognition".
btw, they recommend checking custom params via DH_check() (https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Diffie-Hellman_parameters...) but, appparently, neither apache nor nginx do this...
Because corporate policy says "no Chrome or Firefox Portable for you".

Not on Steam; there was a Tomcat bug where it'd send HTTP response to wrong client: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57340

netatalk is likely just a dir name, like netinet or netns.
Did they catch any copycats since then?

MAME does this as well, I believe they emulate all systems DICE does and more.
