BlackBerry® Enterprise Servers are not run by BlackBerry. Although they do write the software, obviously. So, assuming all is well with the software, the two parties capable of decrypting your email are you and the party running the BES (which isn't BlackBerry.)
Whatever. The world has had how long now to move to IPv6? If we had two additional years, we'd be talking about this two years from now instead of right now. I've been using it for nearly 10 years now. I just hope that this threat is finally becoming significant enough to get ISPs and other organizations moving faster in the right direction.
Envelope headers are different than actual recipients. Mail clients don't implement it, but there's nothing in the SMTP protocol preventing you from putting a Cc: header in your message with a list of names/email addresses, but not actually delivering the messages. It's just a matter of a mail client offering this functionality. For now, you'll have to telnet into port 25;)
I think people are confused on what moderation is for on Slashdot. This isn't digg. Moderation isn't based on whether you agree or disagree with a post. I fail to see how this post is informative in any way, it's just a statement of opinion. That's not to say it should necessarily be modded down, but it definitely shouldn't have been modded Informative. Oh well, hopefully there are still people that meta-moderate.
Maybe The Witcher? I didn't get it on Steam though, so I don't know if they patched everyone with the uncensored version, but it's available from the developer..
Since they only cut their CPU usage by 50%, I'm guessing that the gains they got were a mere taste of what they would get with hand-written/optimized C++ code. But, that's not to say it would've been worth their time to do so..
I know you said C, but you were responding to a post regarding C++. I'll just clarify that the issues you're alluding to, while they exist in C++, are exceedingly rare (when using references, STL, Boost) compared to C.
Voice/data works concurrently on T-Mobile 3G as well (AT&T and T-Mobile both use HSDPA.) Coverage is another issue that largely depends on your location.
If you'd prefer not to give up your first born with a contract, you can actually do so cheaper with T-Mobile ("Get More Plus" is the plan) than if you had signed a contract with them. You'll have to buy your phone at full price, but typically the plans are about $20/mo cheaper if you do without a subsidized phone. And as a bonus, there's no contract and it is cheaper over 24 months. It really gives you some visibility into exactly how much you're paying for that "free" phone elsewhere. But coming from Europe, I'm sure you understand.
It does. It's $130 cheaper over two years to buy the phone unlocked and get the unsubsidized 500 minute t-mobile rate plan than to go with the 500 minute subsidized one with the cheaper phone price.
I imagine the way sharedband works is that it's a VPN endpoint. If you use VPNs (essentially creating another IP layer on top of the existing one), you *can* aggregate multiple connections and even get faster single-session transfer speeds.. You just need an endpoint to connect to that has at least that much bandwidth. This appears to be part of what sharedband offers. The main issue I'd be concerned with, however, is latency.
LVM and ZFS are barely comparable. LVM provides volume level snapshots, which means, among other things, that you must pre-allocate your snapshot space ahead of time. Basically, you must anticipate and carve out how much space you think you'll need to hold your snapshot data. This makes it significantly less useful in my experience. I'd compare ZFS snapshots to FreeBSD's UFS snapshots or Microsoft's VSS. But, it's better than those. The performance penalty for using ZFS snapshots is nonexistent, for one. The snapshots are instant, and hitless (no filesystem freezes.) There's seemingly no limit to the number of them you can have. They can also be read-only or read-write (I forget if LVM does this or not).
Snapshots aren't all that ZFS does that's unique, of course. There's end-to-end checksums, optional compression, built-in volume management, quotas, reservations, transactions vs blocks, multiple caching options. Mostly it all comes down to flexibility. You can do almost anything you'd want to do with it fairly easily. It makes you look at filesystems from a different angle. It has its share of problems, but the big ticket ones have been mostly worked out at this point.
I'd also like to add that I think DTrace can be a huge time saver in the right situations. I go back and forth between which (ZFS or DTrace) I think is more useful overall.

Let loose the public DDoS amplification cannons, aka DNS servers running with dnssec.
How is objective-c any less prone to a buffer overrun than C++?

Ordering you to turn over your key would give you the legal right to exercise the fifth amendment, no?

I haven't checked, but I'd bet that BinaryMemtable uses UDP, when combined with the fast speed, could easily cause significant network saturation..
The example I always use is Pandora in the background while browsing the web. Can't do it on the iPhone without jailbreaking it.
Clearly, Google, abusing their position, changed the date on that YouTube video in order to use it as "evidence" of prior art in court. Bastards!!

Can you not create circular references in Java? I honestly don't know..

These plans have been in effect for at least a month now.
t-mobile plans are $10 less per month if you don't take a carrier phone subsidy.
ZFS dedupe is block level. This would be a problem, however, in file-level dedupe schemes.

Psst.. If DSL is not PPPoE, then it's typically PPPoA. Should work either way.. You just have to find an ISP that will support you.
FreeBSD has its own libc..
Good thing the Tux web server killed off apache long ago. Amirite?? :-D
