I was personally going to donate to this project, but unfortunately, there seems to be little evidence that these guys actually are competent coders (not even code samples from the…

The fact that you need to install either Cygwin or a 100MB collection of Msys files put us off it for our project. We stuck to Mercurial because we thought it would be easier for n…

I have to agree, it's absolutely ridiculous. Using cardiac patterns for login are also prone to "denial of service attacks". Because if I scare someone, suddenly they will be unabl…

I totally agree. Let's face it, we all hate facebook, but there are no good alternatives yet. Orkut and networks like friendstar are hopeless still, and whilst I'd love to remove m…
