In addition to that the general population has been led to believe that everyone is out to get them (i.e. The righteous Muslims). You should have seen the stuff said about Malala. Even she was some kind of conspiracy against Muslims.

The TTP is real, no doubt about that (you'll find deniers here too). But the political resolve lacks because of no majority public support of the army operation in Waziristan.

India was saved from the hegemony due to public resolve to fight for it. Here everyone is either too demotivated or on the wrong side of the equation.

I would factor in self-righteousness too (e.g. Mumtaz Qadri). Once that entitlement mindset ends, only then will things become clear to the public.

EDIT: BTW you should check this (http://on.fb.me/17XcV7p) out to see the Malala bashing & the distrust of anyone but themselves.

On the other hand when the 'seen' thing wasn't happening the other party could at least think that you just haven't checked the message yet.

The only thing left to find out is, when will they change this implementation... unexpectedly.

How exactly will this work? I mean opening the code and keeping the app paid. Will accepted pull requests get a cut of the money?

How long before someone takes this code and builds another reader for metafilter?

But to be honest, I still have not found the best way to keep code flexible so that it never turns into the mutant of what the Statement of Work intended it to be.

Most of the time the clients don't have any idea of what they truly want, but as seasoned software developers it should be our job to keep the bad ideas clients propose out of the requirements.
