The government get in the way of marriges for plenty of reasons:
- Who you're married to is who inherits your stuff if you die (unless there's children, etc, of course).
- If you're in a coma, that'd be the person that can visit you/take decisions for you, etc.
- You spouse can't be forced to witness against you.
Plenty of countries (ie: Argentina), have a different zip code per block. That makes zip codes even more delicate (first name+zip, or dob+zip are probably unique in most cases).
So with all this new tech, it would be interesting to see a video-enabled web-based XMPP client sometime soon. Does anyone have any now on something like this?
I completely agree. I never have, and never will buy a phone form a carrier. I think mobile phone carriers and open source are two things that just don't mix. Just like RIAA and open source won't either.
If you care about users, you sell to users. If you don't, you go through a carrier.
The N900 worked fine when it was release. Four years have past, and the smartphone market moves way too fast. That doesn't undo what good the N900 did. It just means it's old.
So this doesn't create a security risk, it could just potentially make security risks bigger for application with flaws we haven't seen yet? I mean, I don't know of any webapp that stores MY sensitve data on my own PC.
And if my own PC has been compromised, then that data was already compromised anyway, so what's the big deal?
I agree completely. My point above was mainly that FreeBSD dev are generally used to not getting changes back, and will most likely let it pass if they don't get anything back. In no way did I mean Sony wouldn't do it (and they seem to have pushed some stuff back in the past, surprisingly).
It would be wonderful if my search queries were private, but I recognize that the businesses involved make their money by selling my data (such is the perils of demanding a service for free).
This will also probably also be good for FreeBSD in terms of its codebase as well. I expect Sony will probably be feeding back some patches.
This man is in denial.

Not really. It is much less expensive to allow the patches to be integrated into the parent project then it is to patch the project after every update. In addition, others will be able to test/verify that changes don't break the patches if they are given access to them. So it makes sense to feed back as many patches as they can as it greatly reduces the effort required to maintain their port.
Maybe they don't care about keeping up-to-date with current releases for FreeBSD and will just keep using what they have.
Had FreeBSD been GPL licensed, Sony would have developed it's own OS from the ground up. Most likely resulting in lots of security issues, which is bad for the end-user.
As for returning the code to the community... FreeBSD can live with not getting it back: that's why the chose the license they use.
Some of us need the network transparency that Xorg provides, and wayland's alternative seems to be based on some propietary protocol that's half reverse-engineered!
So... where's the risk? How can my computer be put at risk? If an app want to use localStorage, firefox prompts me for permision, and only assings 5KiB or something like that tops.
The worst scenario I can picture, is my MANUALLY authorizing literally millons of websites and them filling up my disk.
As for CORS: where's the security issue for the user? CORS is allowed for web hosts that explicitly state they support it. And again, how could that possible expose me?
Our own military brass has spoken publicly about how state sponsored hacking might constitute an act of war and could result in a Kenetic response. In that context the NSA has endangered our nation by potentially starting an unauthorized war with USA. When will these dangerous criminals be controlled.

Because I can run open source software on it, and I can also monitor it's network traffic at any time.
Out of curiosity (I don't live in the US), what tax advantages do you get by being married?

I'm sure I've probably missed a few.
My phone remains in my pocket, so it's camera doesn't point at me all the time.
I also know that my phone's microphone is off.

Ads? What ads?
Don't most users nowadays use AdBlock?
Don't medium/large networks use adsuck?
If not, why? Who wants to see ads!?

No, but you can use Microsoft Points.

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh... take your stuff to a foreign country to be secure from the NSA. A real open one with weak counter intelligence too, pure genius.
The NSA isn't getting all of this data via inteligence. They're just asking for it and companies send them what they ask for.
[...]government will start getting inundated with my AL QAEDA schemes.
It's funny how the last two uppercased words can also be considered part of your comment and it still makes perfect sense.
I'm not sure there are too many FreeBSD high-end game developer out there.
Maybe.
Though maybe it was done in collaboration with AMD, and AMD is willing to release it (or some part of it). Only time will tell.
This will also probably also be good for FreeBSD in terms of its codebase as well. I expect Sony will probably be feeding back some patches.

If they were your ideas, why do you need to steal them? Don't you keep copies?

China does no illegally copy other's designs. It's perfectly legal.
Stop trying to apply US law in Chinese territory.
