By making the amber light last just slightly shorter, again!

they fine people at 85%

The platform-specific stuffs are there, but where's the .Jar?

What about people who want to join but don't run their own compilers? You know, those people exist.

Widgets have given Android a 10 year advantage.

Because it's such a prominent feature on Android, Apple doesn't want to copy it - that's why you'll never see non-jailbroken iOS devices running widgets on the home screen. You read it here first.

On top of easily setting compliance policies, BES also controls enterprise resources other than those controlled by Exchange.

Does ActiveSync devices still require setting up a VPN separately?

(hint: if you or your company don't need those controls, it means you or your company don't need those controls - nothing more)

first, there's push policy update on BES vs poll-based policy updates. if you're in an environment that needs dynamic policies, push policies can't be beat.
second, BES allows applications to set its own policies - while last I looked at ActiveSync, it's only for an MS application (Exchange).
and then, ActiveSync policies are very device-specific - Windows Mobile phones implements a larger set of supported policies than Android, for example.

FIPS compliance, maybe?

> You can administer and control (to some extent), and wipe the phone using ActiveSync. If you're using BES, I assume you have an Exchange server? Well then, you're all set

I assume you haven't used BES. It's understandable why you think ActiveSync might be an adequate replacement. (hint: the level of fine-grained control offered by BES is way more reaching than what an administrator can do with ActiveSync.)

> ActiveSync provides security policies too

If you're comparing mere ActiveSync security policies with BES security policies, clearly ActiveSync is secure enough for you.

The bottomline is, almost all road accidents are caused by jerks, or people who have no idea how to drive yet somehow got their licences. About the only ways to reduce fatality on the road is to

1. make the road test about 5 times tougher. If you're in north america, 20 times tougher
2. enforce road rules with heavy-hands on top of severe punishments

Since many if not most politicians are either jerks or people who have no idea how to drive yet got their licences, I doubt they'll actually make any real effort to reduce road death.

Therefore, road death cannot be meaningfully reduced. Thus, effort is better spent on preventing some other deaths, such as....flu.

QED

No matter how you would like to view things, this is not the intent of copyright. Copyright does not protect ideas. Even Patents don't. Let me say it one more time:

                                          The Copying Of Ideas Are Completely Legal And You See It Everyday.

If the mere copying of ideas were against copyright, any company that makes pretty much anything is liable for lawsuits.

Agreed. Wish I had some mod points to mod this up. If not being killed in traffic accidents, the people who cause traffic accidents will kill themselves and/or people around them one way or another. Human incompetence in incurable.

They also are more likely to be jackasses, too. So I'd much prefer a prevention of flu than fatalities from traffic accidents.

It sounded aweful in most anything compared with the Roland SCC-1, which IMHO bests the CD quality audio. The maker of that video seemed to be fooled by its slightly newer age.
