A D-notice is government ruling which when enacted, can prevent a specific story from appearing in the public press. It has been used in the past, to stop newspapers from naming the government minister who's son was arrested for selling marijuana, for example.
The internet was designed to survive a nuclear strike, and reroute around the damage.
Actually that was ARPAnet, not the Internet. The Internet didn't inherit that functionality from ARPAnet (that's not saying that such functionality doesn't exist on the Internet, but that was developed after the Internet as part of routing protocols that are often tied under peering agreements that are not automatically granted because of something like a nuclear attack).
Same premise applies here, Block one sight 1000 new sights take its place.
Not really. It's more like there are many sites like that and one becomes more notable when a major one goes away.
My organization recently obtained a patent on the use of WMDs launched from orbital delivery systems, which has been licensed by such fine organisations as the US Dept. of Defense, People's Liberation Army, Iran's Republican Guard and the RIAA. To avoid costly litigation please consider obtaining a proper licence for this technology before annihilating your foes.
I was pointing out that there is policies and controls BES can deploy on BYOD devices that only effect their data. Something you won't see with iOS BYOD. Considering that this is becoming a standard in companies, "iOS also offers a huge range of options for corporations to affect what happens on devices with custom profiles." isn't quite an option in such organisations. Unfortunately, solutions like Good mail go only so far and some security can be circumvented with rooted devices.
To call BSD license viral is fucking retarded to the nth degree.
I don't really care for perceptions based on incorrect assumptions that you have been honing for what is likely many years.
Dragging along a simple text file is hardly viral.
It's viral if it enforces terms in derivative works. Does the BSD license do that? Yes. Therefore, it is viral. Sure, the terms are less restrictive when compared to the GPL, but it still places terms that are applied to derivative works.
In addition, the terms are more than just including a text file as I expressed earlier, misrepresenting the BSD terms will not make your point any more valid. In fact, it actually makes you argument look worse. I even expressed how a non-viral license could be created earlier, it should be easier for you to compare the differences between a viral and non-viral license.
Yea, if he has managed to run out of memory in Java, the game would have been UNPLAYABLE if he wrote it in C.
Minecraft never used bigint (was once a fairly big reason to use Java) in his code, which is why Minecraft corrupts it self, so, to imply he was using those nice Java specific features that avoided issues and crashes, you're wrong.
As for unplayable in C? I'm not really sure where you're getting that from - It's hard to imagine a similar implementation in C to what he did (not a real OO language). I suspect the that the lack of OO programming might have improved his understanding of what he was doing.
The BSDs can do that too. Except commercial vendors like Valve want a standardized in operating system way to install their software with minimum of hassle(self-contained), PBI would allow that.
LSB resolved that a long time ago. Many vendors just don't make use of it because they like doing their own thing.
The current 2 clause BSD license doesn't interfere with code reuse.
Sure it does, it attaches conditions to the code, such as copyright notices and disclaimers (Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.), endorsements restrictions (The views and conclusions contained in the software and documentation are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing official policies, either expressed or implied, of the FreeBSD Project.) etc.
You're on the internet. Look it up yourself.
I already know the licenses.
GPL3 plainly does.
I did not say GPL3 did not. I said you were misrepresenting BSD's viral nature (isn't the majority of core Linux stuff GPL2?).
If you really cared about freedom from viral licensing that effects derivative works, you would use something that allows the freedoms of code usage with rights that equal public domain releases (with the exception of making this a license that grants the rights, as some countries do not support the concept of releasing something as public domain before the copyright term is up).
As far as I can tell, you just don't like the GPL's terms, rather than dislike viral licensing.
It is honestly probably better that it is written in Java if Notch is a bad programmer because at least you have a managed language so that the game doesn't constantly crash from some memory issue.
PC-BSD also has their PBI system for packaging. So valve could put all the libraries and support programs in a PBI package and it's a double click and it's installed. The program, libraries, etc. would be installed and run in an self-contained directory with it's own library versions independent of the operating system thereby avoiding collision issues.
You don't even need a system to do this on Linux, you can just build against yor own libraries in a directory and package it with your application.
Plus the BSD license does away with viral non-sense.
That's not true. BSD licenses have "viral" things about copyright notices, endorsement, promotions, disclaimers (add, remove which ones as necessary per BSD license version) etc. Please don't misrepresent the issue of "viral" terms not being present in licensing being applied to derivative works.
That's what you get for living in a third-world country.
We have higher speeds, more reliable and cheaper Internet (accessible to the majority of the population), mobile phone networks where unlimited really means... Unlimited and various laws to protect the consumer. I am okay not having Google Hangouts as an option, I think I got better the deal regardless. u mad?
I don't feel this is that balanced, partly due to my experiences with Google hangouts (admittedly Skype is currently my preferred platform here, but to say Google hangouts is solid is not the case in my experience).
Somebody mod this up, please! Google Hangouts has been so very much more stable than Skype ever was when video chatting with our son off at college.
I have had instances when Skype was the only way to communicate with people over fairly restrictive networks. I will reflect on stability in my following responses.
Skype would die 2-3 times during a normal conversation, and we'd have to reconnect.
I have had problems on Google Hangouts where people keep having the hangout plugin crash in Chrome, disconnect loops and people's Internet connections not being able to sustain connections when someone starts desktop sharing. In comparison, I have had less of these on Skype - I've noticed the worst that will happen in connection problems is degradation of quality, I have rarely encounterd call drops.
Google Hangouts is rock solid so far
I would not say that, it works most of the time for me, but it's also been persistent at times, at not working at all for some people in hangouts I've been in. The worst complaint I hear about Skype these days from my circle of friends that use Skype is that it messes with their volume controls - That's relatively minor when compared to crashing problems or people getting dropped out because their connection could not handle someone randomly screensharing.
No need to maintain a second username and password for the Skype ecosystem.
You can use Facebook or passport.net identities if that fits your fancy more on Skype. Although to be honest, there is not much to manage, it is not like you have to relogin to Skype all the time.
Doesn't even exist as an option for me, is this for USian and Canadian users only?
Is there no world subscription I can get like with Skype, where I can make 'unlimited calls' to a bunch of countries without having to pay minutes etc?

It's also entirely voluntary.

Apologies, my hand grazed the touchpad and my laptop took that as an indication I wanted to moderate you as flamebait. Posting to undo.
Sorry, tl;dr.
Uh, the open source Android has no app store?
Do feel free to point me to it on http://source.android.com/ .
Is QNX affordable to those that would use Linux?
Then get the Q10 instead of the Z10?

Doesn't work even close to BB's capability when BYOD is concerned.

These people didn't have the same sort of contacts.
Attacking services is not acceptable.
People have died over blocked traffic and you want to raise it to that bar? Ok, you win.

It's more likely than you think.

Why did it work fine for me?
I'm using Skype 6.0.0.126 and I don't see them (not even with an account that has no sub). What version are you using?
Worked fine when I didn't have Skype Premium, it's under:
Options -> Notifications -> Alerts & messages

Unchecking "promotions" in preferences is relatively easy - It surprises how many users don't know of it.
