>Clearly you haven't done much writing in your life.

That's all I do while doing my Masters. Write Papers.

>I sure as fuck wouldn't want you changing my shit as I'm writing.

Because you haven't used it. I didn't realize how fuckin useful it is, until I tried it. You work in different sections of the documents and it's seamless. No contention. No annoyance. Or you have one guy write, while the rest observe and suggest idea and review the additions, either remotely or together in a room, or a combination (one guy remote, two guys in a room).

Trust me, I didn't get it, until I tried it. You haven't.

>have you checked if a multi-user document editor/whiteboard already exists

And you still wouldn't get the benefits of a browser-based solution. I can bring in any number of collaborators and never worry about whether or not they have a particular piece of software installed, and if they don't, that they are competent enough to install it, that they are running the proper OS, and proper dependencies.

>SVN/git would be cool to do shared (writing, etc) projects with, too.

github frontend is heavy on JS too. Are they retards? Obtuse fuck.

Lol. I wonder if you believe your own crap. So, you gonna write your thesis collaboratively with your JS-fuck-buddies? When do you think you'll use it next? Or is the JS-orgy already waning, and the novelty already worn off?

I said *git*, moron -- not github. You and your gay stramen. And I browse github (painfully) without JS as well. (But yes, whoever designed the UI for github was partly retarded, yes.)

No, I ain't not not gonna write a thesis collaboratively lol.

It's a tiny example of why you're a dumb fuck who looks at 1998 as the standard by which all other ages are judged against, because he just so happened to grow in it. The golden age is over bud. While you squeegeed, the world moved on.

>I said *git*, moron -- not github.

Yeah I got ya. You said, 'git', I said github. Github is a pretty fuckin cool source code hosting service that caters to devs. It's pretty fuckin great. Carmack just released Doom3 source there. What a dumb fuck ...

For the last time, I don't view the 90s as a golden age. If I see a good and innovative idea, I'll jump on it. JS simply isn't that.

I use github all the time too -- WITH GIT. Their website UI is simply an unimportant embarassing mistake, I figure.
