It appears to have been implemented in some ksh versions in 1988. My Bolsky/Korn ksh book says "This feature is not available on all versions of the 11/16/88 version of ksh."
I am sure that, if you have a talk about Linux security with Samsung/HTC/LG... you will hear some unprintable commentary on Linux security.
To a great extent, it's correct. While a lot of phones have been broken wide open, the same flaw can be used by a hostile app to own your phone (to say nothing of what could be done to a vulnerable enterprise system).
- UNIX admins have been able to ply their trade for the last 40-odd years with a stable set of userland utilities, which systemd consigns to the trash heap.
- systemd has removed the old userland (init, inetd) without providing good documentation and examples for doing the old things with the new tools (seriously, the top systemd-inetd example uses ssh, which nobody does - how about ftp or pop3?).
It seems that there are lots of new capabilities with systemd, but it has come to market with lousy documentation. The purveyors are receiving a thorough flogging at the hands of the greybeards, which they richly deserve.

One mystery which has not been solved as of 2009 is the absence of red dwarfs with no metals. (In astronomy, a metal is any element heavier than hydrogen or helium.) The Big Bang model predicts the first generation of stars should have only hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium. If such stars included red dwarfs, they should still be observable today, but none have yet been identified. The preferred explanation is that without heavy elements only large and not yet observed population III stars can form, and these rapidly burn out, leaving heavy elements which then allow for the formation of red dwarfs. Alternative explanations, such as the idea that zero-metal red dwarfs are dim and could be few in number, are considered much less likely as they seem to conflict with stellar evolution models.
Is Volume-Down--Power the universal Android boot to firmware/bootloader?
It has been on everything I've ever used. Can the original poster get to the bootloader or fastboot?
Find locations where you will hurt Verizon customers, and cut the cables. Do so publicly. Precondition repair on upgrades of Verizon's network as you direct.
If Verizon doesn't want network neutrality, then punish their customers.
Although the factory reset option hands the request off to the recovery partition after a reboot, so clockworkmod or the equivalent would be responsible for making this happen.
If Google is suddenly perceived as untrustworthy, there will be great market pressure for Android without Play, or any other Google products. For Google's balance sheet, I hope they have not been foolish.
Settings / Security / Encrypt Phone - I've never used it, but I am assuming it encrypts everything under/data.
I understand that a format of/data is what happens behind the factory reset option. Using GNU shred on the device file for this filesystem might prevent any recovery.
Does Cyanogenmod need even more encouragement to dump Qualcomm processors? Odd that the Nook Color is still supported, when many faster Qualcomm chips have been shown the door.
I already have to run an unofficial release of Cyanogenmod on my vivow. Now what is the likelyhood that I'm going to get a Towelroot patch when you are nuking the source repositories?
I still won't buy Motorola products because of their past behavior. Am I about to add Qualcomm to that list?
The combined T-Sprint will have to maintain both CDMA and GSM networks for some time. I hope that the tower hardware costs have dropped and dual CDMA/GSM hardware is available. I bet there will also be significant frequency waste.
Because a Cyanogenmod user was able to monitor this application, it was discovered that Swype was requesting location data several thousand times per day.
The vendor responded with a reasonable explanation.
In any case, if you run an Apple device, you will never know if your vendor begins doing such things, either for innocuous reasons, or otherwise.
p.s. You can now buy phones loaded with Cyanogenmod as the native OS.
...that such a planet would likely be tidally locked, with one side always facing the star. There would be extreme differences of temperature between the night and day sides, and life might only be sustainable in the never-moving twilight region, depending upon atmosphere convection.
And this conclusion has been peer reviewed. With Cyanogenmod, you even get a line-item veto (privacy guard).
Malicious software has appeared in the iTunes store. Android, in contrast, displays everything that an application will need to access so that users can decide themselves whether to go ahead with an installation.
To compare these two security models, Han and co-workers identified 1,300 popular applications that work identically on both iOS and Android. These applications, such as Facebook, often access code libraries on smartphones called security-sensitive application programing interfaces (SS-APIs), which provide private user data or grant control over devices such as the camera.
The researchers found that 73% of iOS applications, especially advertising and analytical code, consistently accessed more SS-APIs than their counterparts on Android. Additionally, the SS-APIs invoked by iOS tended to be those providing access to sensitive resources such as user contacts.
The results imply that by allowing users to control permissions, Android may be better at preventing stealthy applications from getting hold of private information. Notably, Android also intentionally avoids using SS-APIs if non-security-sensitive APIs can be used to achieve the same functions.
The whole of the nightmare in the middle east right now is the fault of the united states.
The British Mandate and the Balfour Declaration had far more influence upon the nationalities, peoples, and borders of the Middle East than did any influence of the United States.
The state should not have the power to sentence an individual to death, but death should be available to those who would choose it.
Our government should not kill. A maximum sentence of life in prison is all the force that it should be able to employ against any individual.
If a person sentenced to life does not wish to continue the sentence, then they should have the option to request an end to it. After suitable mental evaluation, and assuming they are resolute, they should have what they seek.
This brings morality and transparency into the process. This is the right thing to do.

GNU AWK uses the same syntax.
Oracle has this problem, too.

Recent comments by Alan Greenspan paint a dire picture of primary education in the United States:
Under such dire circumstances and an existential threat, now is not the time for bias.
...then how about this one?

SPARC: "I am going to make a promise to you: By this time next year, that Sparc microprocessor will run the Oracle database faster than anything on the planet.". SPARC now beats x86.
RDB: Enough said.
MIUI costs less to develop than iOS. Why? MIUI is open and accepts 3rd party contributions, while iOS does not (in the places that count).
How long can a business lose market share with a more expensive product? We should ask Microsoft.

Here is my phone. Notice that it has been dumped, it has 768mb of ram, and a 1ghz CPU.
Compare that to the Samsung Fascinate, a very similar phone that is still supported despite having less ram.
What you can see is a developer bias: Qualcomm technology is (already) preferentially terminated.
For myself, I need to start buying Samsung, and I need to make sure that it has as little Qualcomm technology in it as possible.

Both carriers are dragging along a wagonload of MVNOs, so customers of several other companies will see migration impacts.
Verizon is dumping CDMA for their own customers, but keeping it for the MVNOs. This will become more problematic, as Android is dropping support for CDMA, so everything on the Sprint side is going to get a bad case of bitrot.

These laws seem both plentiful, varied and complex. I hope their coporate legal department wasn't planning on sleep for a few months.
Is this free to implement?
