Mandatory Access Control has been available (but not turned on by default) in FreeBSD since its 5.0 release (Jan 2003).
Documentation on using MAC is available in the FreeBSD Handbook.
Manual
pages are also available.
But consider FreeBSD, which uses Perforce internally, before the changes hit the CURRENT CVS branch!
FreeBSD's primary source control system is CVS.
Some (but not all) developers use Perforce to manage their experimental FreeBSD-related project -- work that is either too intrusive or too experimental to bring into the main tree directly.
Finally the 1938 Kristallnacht [wiesenthal.com] was as blunt as one could get -- yet was met with apathy in the West.
In 2002, the
indian state participated in an ethnic
cleansing of its minority citizens. The election commission of India subsequently
reported about 400,000 voters as missing or displaced. This is
about as blunt a statement of future intentions
as one can get -- and yet,
the best description of corporate reaction seems
to be "studied silence".
If the local press is to be believed, foreign
investment inflow into Gujarat, or India as
a whole has been unaffected.
If you want to keep an engineer in your country, or in your company, then pay what you have to pay, motherfucker. It's the free market: Deal with it.
If you are going to use the free market argument, then you'll need to keep in mind the other side of the picture: higher education in India is highly subsidized. For example, when I passed out of college the semester fees were about Rs200/- (about USD$6) while the estimated cost to the tax payer for each graduate those days was Rs 4,00,000/-. Nearly every university here gets some kind of state assistance, money that could be used for other development projects.
I would hazard a guess that few of the hi-tech workers from India are emigrating on account of persecution. It doesn't make sense for the indian tax payer to fund the education of workers for the US economy, but that is exactly what is happening today.
CLIs are, linguistically speaking, a more powerful way to interact with a computer compared to user interfaces built using the menus and pointer model. Here is a reference to a CACM article that discusses the shortcomings of the WIMP (windows, menus, icons, pointers) interface.
Over the past million years, humans have evolved language as our major communication mode. Language lets us refer to things not immediately present, reason about potential actions, and use conditionals and other concepts not available with a see-and-point interface. Another important property of language missing in graphical interfaces is the ability to encapsulate complex groups of objects or actions and refer to them with a single name. ...
The point-and-click interaction that most GUIs offer may be initially easier to use, but to claim this kind of interface as more 'advanced' is misleading.
