Microsoft builds Mac software, too. So, uh, maybe they actually need to own a few Macs to, you know, compile and test it?
How ironic! Next you'll tell me that Microsoft used to sell their own version of UNIX.

I had a desktop hub once that was OK. I don't know if I'd trust them with a switch, though. Even their cables feel cheap.

Just about everything I run in to on GitHub these days is MIT or one of the BSD variants.
An LLC in Washington State costs $180 to set up. The paperwork isn't that hard. If you have any assets (house, car, savings, etc) the LL in LLC means a lot in the event things go sideways. You can always convert to a C-Corp or an LLLC later.
It was only a half-joking suggestion for @Arantor. The joking bit is because construction has just as much political WTFery as any other industry, at least to hear relatives talk about it.
Option 2 is definitely safer.

No, no no.. It's the name of the new weekly front-page comic strip.
If only that's what he'd meant to do.
I think what he did was clone our repository, then make an OS-level copy of that folder for each case he worked on to simulate branching, then copy the individually-changed files from each of those copies back to the real repository. I guess he worked in a particularly non-linear way last night, and so edits to file foo in copy1 were overwritten by his changes to file foo in folder2 when he copied everything back, undoing the changes.
I know a lot of our India based companies get bad press, but truth is each time there is some wrong management decision involved.
Really? The WTF I mentioned earlier falls 100% on the shoulders of our remote developer. He managed to mis-use our VCS so badly that each new commit he made last night reversed the previous one:
Commit 1: fix for bug 1 Commit 2: fix for bug 2, reverse out Commit 1 Commit 3: fix for bug 3, reverse out Commit 2 etc.

I'm surprised that @mikeTheLiar hasn't come by to see what's going on in this topic. Would be a shame if he were actually trying to get some work done...

Power went out at home while I was in the shower. Apparently something wrong with the local substation- a good chunk of town was out.
Got in to the office, the remote developer did some of his most wft-maybe-I-should-put-this-on-the-sidebar stuff yet.
Git's workflow is rather difficult to get used to; it's too easy to get into the situation of having to do things the hard way.
Like what? As a recent convert from SVN to DVCS (hg), I haven't managed to get myself into any situation that was worse than what I got myself into with SVN, and trying to do the branch-per-feature thing with SVN's merging got me in to a couple doozies.
If your project is fairly popular, it's practically the only viable host for binaries.
Guess it's just me, then.

In other news, people are still using SourceForge. It's been years since I've actually used it- I figured everyone would have moved to GitHub by now.

It's even worse: Chrome on Linux does the same thing for me here. But... Chrome OS is Linux.
RESOLVED WONTFIX
I installed the "Symbola" font from here: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ and after restarting Chromium on Linux the bird shows up. Still don't get the "pile of poo", but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
Oh, so a "Back" button is in the upper-left corner and is an arrow, but the "Next" button is in the button pane and is labeled "Next"?
Why not? Everything's a mobile browser now. Didn't you get the memo?

I'll just leave this here then: Tunnelrat.MPS was a real PITA though.

"Summarize" only starts working on topics with 50+ posts, but it's only useful if the topic hasn't derailed?
Maybe the OMGWTFBBQ 3 contest can be a prize for the 50th post in a non-derailed sidebar threadtopic.
