Mattermost is an open source, privately hostable clean room reimplementation of Slack that supports a variety of encryption options that Slack does not.
When I remark that President Obama had eight years without any ethical shadiness, Mr. Thiel flips it, noting: “But there’s a point where no corruption can be a bad thing. It can mean that things are too boring.”
Treat this as an ad hominem if you want, but anyone who espouses this view is not someone whose opinions will ever matter to me.
Also, all the health care: CHCS runs on VMS and will continue to do so through 2018 or even later, depending on the speed of the DHMSM COTS acquisition process.
I wish them luck - I always liked QNX (even on my old iOpener, with the pizza button) and I'm all for more variety in the mobile market. Only time will tell, however, and the market seems to be converging moreso than differentiating.
QNX is seen as a stable, RTOS microkernel for a variety of embedded applications.
QNX somehow never makes it big in the phone market.
iOS, Android, Blackberry, PalmOS, and Symbian start duking it out.
Blackberry starts using QNX and finally states it is going in the direction QNX should have gone 15 years ago instead of the iOpener and its "pizza button."
I am not surprised this has finally happened, but I am also not holding my breath it will succeed.
The overlabeling of everything as harmful is a general symptom of the dumbing down of the world; however, another symptom is illiteracy. Therefore, by the time this idiocracy reaches peak stupidity, everything will be labeled but nothing will be read.
I think the key here that differentiates feedback mechanisms from addiction is this:
... cause you to want it more at the same time that it gives you less effect.

If video games were to offer less entertainment, the result would be to play less. I'm not even speaking of diminishing returns, I'm implying that if a video game were to offer less pleasure for the same action today as it did yesterday, people would stop playing it.
Case in point: if I finish, say, the original Legend of Zelda, and I finish the second quest, at that point, I'm done with the game. There is no new challenge, no new surprise, I'm just done. An addict would continue to play despite their being more to gain.
As a casual MMO player (one day a week), I can see why people would want to play -- new equipment, new scenery, new enemies, new plotlines. More is being added. This is what entices people to keep playing. Continually playing on a low level, killing the same enemies and harvesting the same rewards (money, items, inspriations, enhancements, whatever) with no progression is a little more suspect; but most of the people who do that are either doing it for money ("gold farmers") which is needed to survive, or they are doing it to reach a higher level needed to see aforementioned new content.
Yes, and in the Cemetary, Grave Robers tried to pilfer his grave, only to be attacked by Skleltons and Zmobies and Lihces. Then the Bonerdagon attacked them all!
I've seen a lot of replies to this post extolling the virtues of delicious, as well as bandying about terms like "social anomie", but no one has answered this question:
Oracle 9iAS and 10gAS are VERY heavy on the 302 redirects (as a way to moderate traffic using mod_oc4j).
Most of the redirects are innocuous, for example with an application whose context-root is/foo, you'd see a redirect from http://www.example.com/foo to http://www.example.com/foo/, but I can see this product borking up search results as its use becomes pervasive in the enterprise.
Since the product can't be changed, I'd probably change Google's behavior.

For ADB NeXTs (i.e., Turbo 33/color workstations) - wouldn't an ADB to USB adaptor work?

Life finds a way to resolve its own problems.

Frakkin' Baltar!
It was Hans Reiser's fault.
Did you see how short the search times were? Amazing! /ObJoke
I wonder if some of the MUMPS based systems like DoD's CHCS (Composite Health Care System) are candidates. They are at least thirty years old.
After all, we're in the terrible 2.0's right now.
Someone change the diaper, there's twitter all over the place.

Zomg! You cad! Rather then berate the fellow, if you took the time to explain, than he would get it! Jeez!
You mean "Chips N' Dips" users...
That's a low ID? :)

Clearly YouTube has failed in the bigger mission to revive the Ben Stiller/Jack Black/Owen Wilson vehicle, Heat Vision and Jack ...
I think Winers describes their outlook and methods succinctly.

Would this affect data/VoIP carriers?
Well, http://goat.cx still functions. Shush, child.
