JIRA is a Java cross platform bug tracker. The name is actually a truncated form of the legendary Japanese monster Godzilla. You may well wonder how. Well, in the Japanese tongue Godzilla is pronounced Gojira, and in an office comprised of the obligatory geeks, the in-house term for computer software that was being developed jumped from Bugzilla, to Godzilla to Gojira, and eventually the Go just got up and was gone. Et voila; we have a monster munching name for a bug munching software program... more...

The system registry is an important component to practically every computer, and it would actually be considered a pile of electronics if the system registry was not included.

Changes and updates go directly through the system registry for storage, but sometimes things do not always go as smoothly as we wish. Not many know wha... more...

This is because unless there is a configuration management system in place the changes will not merge together and one set of changes will overwrite the other, meaning that the other changes are lost. Although the example of a single document in an office... more...
