As I mentioned to another poster, the problem isn't with the Kernel supporting USB. The problem is that the manufacturer does not supply Linux drivers, and none have been developed yet. I don't get to specify the computer my work gives me, so there is nothing I can do about my particular circumstance. I am just happy I have the choice to use Linux on the work machine.
My, but I'm tired of hearing this mantra. So I don't 'own' the data that constitutes my email? Why on Earth should I give a crap?
As an individual, you may not give a crap. That's fine. But as a business, you owe it to yourself (as owner), or your shareholders (if publicly traded) to host your own mail. Google may not be competing with you now, but you do not know what the future will bring. That was my main point. I happened to bring up my personal email server just to relate my experience with using Zimbra. I am not saying that individuals need worry. For a business, you never know what will be sent via email that could compromise your position in a lawsuit, in contract negotiations, a proposal, etc. The OP did not state whether the servers were for business or pleasure. I have to assume that since he is talking about a plurality of mail servers that this is for a business environment.
Follow their example and let Google worry about all of that for you - and in return you just have to pay them...nothing.
Nothing in life is free, including GMail. A corporation has to be out of its mind to use GMail, Google Docs, or anything like that for business purposes. If you don't host the data, you don't own it. And Google has also demonstrated that they are more than happy to release your information to the Government without subpoena.
I personally host a Zimbra Network Edition mail server and it is very low maintenance. I spend very little time each week making sure that the system hasn't been owned, and that Zimbra is up to date. Of course, I do this for my family. We use Zimbra NE for mobile syncing of contacts, calendars, and other data. It's great for a big family like mine. There are large companies that use Zimbra, including Comcast. I don't know if Comcast uses it internally, but if you log in to Comcast webmail for ISP customers, you can see its Zimbra. If you have to host your own, it's worth looking in to.
Just to let you know, BSD is developed under the BSD license. This license allows you to do pretty much whatever you want. You can develop all you want without releasing or contributing any source.
You do realize that people with older iphones can't upgrade to the newest versions of iOS, right? And that Apple let people with the 3G upgrade to 4.0 and it caused their phones to be almost completely unusable? So it's not exactly like there is no fragmentation on the iPhone.
You are confusing two different problems with radio transmissions. In one instance, the hand is obstructing the antenna, thereby decreasing the signal. In the other instance, you are shorting the antenna and thereby interfering with the transmission. There is little you can do to prevent objects from blocking the path of the radio signal. But you're damned stupid to put a bare antenna right along the edge of a device meant to be held in the hand. Have you never used rabbit ear antennas in your life?
But those are all just talking points. When it's all said and done, both sides have been supporting things like the Patriot act, and the ridiculous TSA spending for security theater. Obama didn't withdraw the troops form Iraq and send them home. He ended up boosting the presence in Afghanistan with those same numbers that left Iraq. When you look past the surface, and the Gay rights and abortion topics, they are almost identical. They are equally corrupt and financially irresponsible.
You do realize that the bank deregulation that resulted in the market crash was instituted under Clinton, right? The bank problems were caused in the 90's. Sure Bush had the chance to push through regulation to fix the problem, but he did not create it. He just failed to recognize the problem and fix it. And look back at the Great Depression. You can't prop the economy up with government spending. They tried all those public works projects to end the depression and it just kept chugging along.
And I don't buy this "sigh, those politicians are all the same" line of defeatist bullshit.
Yes, the Democrats have disappointed me in MANY cases, but there is a clear difference, in my book, in the parties when it comes to who is willing to govern with a sense of rationality, and in a manner that supports the interest of the American people.
Just because he can see what's going on doesn't mean he's a defeatist. For all you know, he is actively trying to change politics in the US. But you'd have to be blind to think that the parties aren't practically identical in every way. The only difference is who the politicians play homage to. Just ask any of our European friends on Slashdot. Most of them would agree that even from an external perspective both parties look very similar, even if they typically prefer the foreign policies of democrats.
with the huge debt republican leadership gave to Obama, the guy has little choice.
I hate to break it to you but both sides are responsible for the current problem, and Obama has done his fair share of spending:
In 2007, before the recession, federal expenditures reached $2.73 trillion. By 2009 expenditures had climbed to $3.52 trillion. In 2009 alone, overall federal spending rose 18%, or $536 billion. Throw in a $65 billion reduction in debt service costs due to low interest rates, and the overall spending increase was 22%.
10 of the screws are normal philips head that 90% of the population would have. The one battery screw does have a special head. The bit for it costs about $2. If you wanted, you could use an easy out and replace it with a philips head, too.
No. It is two screwdrivers. And yes, one is the pentabular screwdriver, which you can buy bits for. But as the person I responded to said that it was "impossible" and I was indicating that it is possible. I also indicated that, in this particular instance, that easy precluded doing so on the road. As in, anyone can turn the 10 screws on the case and the 1 screw on the battery. Anyone. It's easy. But you're not going to do it while traveling.
No, you missed the point. I was responding to someone saying that it was an impossible task. It is not an impossible task. It's an easy task. Not something you can do on the go, as I mentioned in my original post. You're not telling me anything I don't know. All I was trying to do was dispel the myth that you cannot replace the battery yourself.
Again I said that it was not that hard. The person I was responding to said it was impossible. It's not. It's 10 screws to remove the bottom of the laptop and 1 screw securing the battery.
Terribly hard compared to how the batteries were a couple of models ago. The person was trying to claim the batteries and hard drives are not swappable on the new macs. I clearly stated it was not something you could do very easily while on the road. The one thing about make the battery internal to the laptop is that you can have a larger battery because you need less protection around it. So you have more capacity and plastic in the same volume.
Actually, it's not terribly hard to remove the batteries on the 2011 Macbook pros. Not something you could do easily on a plane, or in the car, but you can definitely do so with just two screwdrivers. Or one screwdriver with a replaceable bit.
Have you read their own marketing material for Lion? It clearly states you can install it on any machine you own, without purchasing multiple copies. So, they aren't relying on people to do the right thing at all. They actively encourage you to switch everything to Lion.
That's precisely what they're agreeing *not* to do. They've specifically agreed that neither the password itself nor the act of producing it will be admissible.
Can you provide a source for that? Because I RTFA and there is no such statement. The closest it says is that that they may compel her if "law enforcement officials to grant some form of immunity to the owners of these documents to gain access to them."
Since encrypting your files isn't exactly illegal, what could they possibly grant her immunity for?
But the moment that you unencrypt that hard drive, in front of their cameras, and their cops, those videos and officers will be able to testify to the effect of "Yes I saw John Doe decrypt that drive full of CP." The only thing they cannot video, according to that prosecutor, is your actual password or key. Of course, they can have a keylogger grab that info for them.

As I mentioned to another poster, the problem isn't with the Kernel supporting USB. The problem is that the manufacturer does not supply Linux drivers, and none have been developed yet. I don't get to specify the computer my work gives me, so there is nothing I can do about my particular circumstance. I am just happy I have the choice to use Linux on the work machine.
Sure the kernel supports the technology. But there is no driver for either one. At least not in the distros I have tried.
Dell Precision 4600 with a Renesas Electronucs USB 3.0 host controller and an asrock P67 Extreme 6 with an Etron USB 3.0 host controller
Show me a linux distro that has USB 3 drivers for my laptop or desktop. I haven't found any. Windows does.
It's a test of what I assume is a fairly mature version of the scamjet...
woah is Bernie Madoff working for DARPA now?
My second question is...
Awesome! Is there an iPhone port of this?
There probably will be an iPhone port for this. But guess what? You're probably going to have to jailbreak your phone to use it!
My, but I'm tired of hearing this mantra. So I don't 'own' the data that constitutes my email? Why on Earth should I give a crap?
