how would this method remove the slew of security vulnerabilities and other development issues?

there's nothing wrong with green field dev. especially in this case. fairly sure slapping on some 'federation functions' would result in a hell of a mess.

I've really enjoyed this series, even with the fear of it being left unfinished. Martin's characters remind me of the characters of Glen Cook's writing - also some kick-ass dark fantasy. Check out his Dread Empire series: http://www.amazon.com/Dread-Empire-Glen-Cook/lm/R1423C8TEEUL...

Also along this line of epic fantasy are the Malazan Empire books by Steven Erikson - http://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Moon-Malazan-Book-Fallen/dp/07...

i have no earthly idea what point this post is trying to convey. if it's a reactionary post to the anti-seo sentiments expressed by developers, it fails. is the future of SEO in user-experience? is this post aimed at seo practitioners? regardless, i call bullshit.

It'd be pretty interesting to do this today. Internet access would negate a lot of the benefits of hermitage, in some respects. But it's a super romantic ideal - and one I [and it seems others] can definitely relate to. A big part of this story is that Lutus didn't go out to the wilderness to work on software, but rather, fell into it through curiosity and excitement over some novel new form of technology.

no, you are definitely not at fault for those things. however, you are at fault for re-contextualizing this particular comment thread. the original comment spoke of alternative interfaces, not of outdated software, cheapening the discussion with snarky remarks about anachronistic technology. though, plenty of people still use telnet. and physical help desks.

signed up. went through painful profile population process (alliteration w00t). the drop-downs for city is not at all fun - suggest text-field with auto-complete if you want the silos. otherwise, zip-code might be better?

checked out the member search not a single user within 200 miles of NYC?

while i understand this has just opened and the team is based in Ontario, seeding the userbase with beta-testers/soft-launch participants for major metropolitan areas is usually a good idea for sites that hinge on real-life location-centric interaction between users...

just my two cents
