Will they also forgo the shared libraries, and have everything statically linked? Sounds familiar? If they go this route, one downside to this is it takes up too much memory. Which is why apple switched from static libraries and started using shared libraries.

Convert all your mail to maildir, and keep it on your home filesystem, whenever you need access from where ever connect to your home vpn, and connect to the filesystem, I have an account in thunderbird where I can search, or do whatever I want to it. Seems to work well.

I would have gave you a plus for this. Very well put.

If I was worth 200 million before we are married. And we are together for 5 years, she gets half of everything. But during the time we are married if I log into her email it is a crime? I would like it all to be fair, what is mine, is mine, and what is hers is hers, and when we get divorced, what is hers is hers and what is mine is mine, and if I log into your email while we are married, it is a crime. Sheesh seems kind of wrong the other way.

We have seen it. It is ACACIA, they have been doing it for years.

a few month ago there was a vulnerability that left your data wide open with or without a pin on the iphone. Or the fake iphone security update that basically takes over your iphone (http://bit.ly/afwVEu). If you allow programs that aren't made by the apple or google you will always have this problem. Program A needs access to do this, you give it access, now anything in program A that was put there has that access too. Oh new iphone safari browser hole (http://www.epagini.com/2010/08/iphone-vulnerability-detected/). Neither phone is the standard for security, no one is. LOL, now give me a phone running openvms, no it probably wouldn't be any secure, I just want to see someone get it to run on a phone.

The article seems to be written from a bias perspective that doesn't note that almost every RT system the military has today was written by the geeks they want to say they don't need. Besides, it is far better from a military perspective to have your soldiers watching your network, than a civilian who has been given military clearance, that hasn't been threw the BW regimen.

I wonder what their sentence will be? I hear in the addiction boot camps they use to get shock treatment [1]. So I kind of wonder what will be the punishment for this act? [1] http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/14/china-electric-shock-internet-addiction

GPL says contribute your changes. Doesn't say one thing about contribute your changes, and make sure they work in the main tree. He himself said they were doing it, until people started complaining about how things were written or what not. So they stopped. I don't blame them one bit. It is kind of like writing a library to be in PEAR, you have a piece of code that works. And and you see people asking for a library and you submit it for a vote, they first don't like that you used the PHP license, they want you to use the BSD license, then they don't like your naming of the methods. Hell, has the people running PEAR, looked at the naming conventions of PHP (addslashes, mysql_connect) I basically said flip that and put it on google code. There are forks all the time in the linux kernel, they usually die out, but wouldn't it be fun if googles kernel was the only one to survive?

Talk about jumping on a bandwagon before you know where it is going. I guess if I looked at Apples track record and saw everything they have done up to date, I would probably say, it is a good bet it will be a hit. However, they don't even know what type of people will buy the ipad. I was just thinking it would be a cool mini tablet system, depending on what applications it comes already installed on it, but now that I know what the applications are, they are going to have to make a whole lot more for me to spend over 700 dollars for wifi and 3G.

If you found a solution that would work, and it isn't. Then find a solution that does. Does everyone come to the office every week? If so, why not set up a back up process that backs up the changes via the companies network (wireless, or ethernet) automatically.

Like Ionix says, it is Economic Warfare we are fighting. When a big chunk of your land is owned by Japan, when your harbours are own by the Saudis, when your banks are owned by China, and where your government pushes you down the path of least resistance; educationally, and technologically. It is very easy to try to find something else for the situation we are in, but frankly, good ole' greed will allow you to become a slave, way before you realize you have become one.

Keep working for the company you are working for, think of a totally different application -- because 2k for a retainers fee, and 400 dollars an hour for fighting a battle that didn't need to be fought will go through that money in no time -- write it while you are there, have a lawyer set up a trust, and then set up the company owned by the trust. Specifically tell your lawyer you and your friends want to be anonymous. No matter what business you get into, as soon big fish see you, you will be sued. When the company is making a little more than everyones salaries, then dedicate more time into it, until each and everyone is now getting paid by that company. Make sure retention is about 4 months before letting go of the old company.
