How does BSD remove access to source code? Someone else may add some modifications to my code and I may not be able to see those modifications, true. But nothing's been removed.

That's a great picture. High information density but easy to read.

It mirrors how a flamewar works.

Assuming you could even reflash the firmware key.

My phone conversations aren't supposed to be "on the internet."

Can't find pricing...? Am I blind?

Correct. As we understand it now, the black holes will slowly evaporate through Hawking radiation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_an_expanding_universe... And, after that, oblivion. http://en.wikipe

What style and narrative would you prefer? I think StartsWithABang is an excellent read: entertaining iand informative. One of the few blog-type-things I follow anymore.

Came to post the same thing. ftfa: "Asking for help makes you vulnerable, but it does not mean you are weak." I still need to learn this.

That's not true for me and I suspect for a lot of other people here. If I'm going to release code under a license, I need to understand every line in that license. GPLv2 is pretty understandable, GPLv3 is ponderous in places and

That would be super cool. Anything publicly available to look at? Freescale's Freedom boards are so cheap, so capable, and have such miserable tooling (mbed, DIY usb, Processor Expert, CodeWarrior, ugh)... I wonder if Rust could make

I love this idea! When I get a few hours I'll have to try porting a small coreutil... Seems like a great way to learn Rust. Any chance of Rust taking over embedded systems programming? That's still mostly done in C and quickly

So, you like languages that are prone to obscure bugs because they allow you to remain competitive with the NSA?

Rebecca's history: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/category/personal/cancer/ Beautifully written, so hard to read.

Thought for sure this was going to be an article about Martin's Beach.

This is a great GREAT point. It would be nice to hear an explanation.

The expriation date of a short sale is the day the interest and fees required to carry the transaction drives you to bankruptcy. Depending on your solvency and leverage, that's either close by or eons away away but it is real.

Likely downvoted because this is the stupidest, most pointless comment thread on an otherwise decent page. Contributing to it is what's overwhelmingly frowned upon by HN. (Yes, I know. I could use some downvotes.)

How about allowing the lid to open 180 degrees? I can't curl up on the couch with my Air nearly as well as I could with my Thinkpad. Or making it so the palm rests don't suck all the heat out of my hands? Or smooth the sharp edg

Ha, you're right. I guess something about how Lucida Grande is rendered, plus all the formative years spent on a Mac Plus, made it so I've been seeing Chicago this whole time. I'm feeling rather shaken right now.

Ye gods, is this the end of Chicago?

Not always... I've seen private offices so small two people can just sit in there. It's like Brazil (the movie) but better lit. So, IFF your company has the money to devote a fair amount of real estate to each worker, yes, priva

What about people who have watched others solve it?

You talking to me? I never said I had the solution to the general problem. I only said that it doesn't seem like as big a problem as the Mint guys claim. True, I did say that Ubuntu has solved this problem. For them, dist-upgrades a

Haven't tried those distros. (my distro hopping days are OVER) Before Qiana, Nemo (Mint's forked Nautilus), Cinnamon's prefs panels, some 3rd party toolkits, they all got scrolling wrong. Lots of apps got it right too, but

Thought it was clear the OP was talking about assembly? Which, thanks to pipeline stalls and out-of-order execution is no walk in the park these days, but it's not TOO bad.

And I thought the IEEE's most irritating feature was shoveling life insurance scams (& other snailmail spam) at its members every month.

Assembling a program into machine language is simple enough that it's easy to trust someone else to get it right. I imagine it depends on the difficulty of the problem being outsourced.

Finally the Apple Magic Trackpad works everywhere. Even offers battery warnings. Nice! Mint+Cinnamon is a great desktop. It's saving me from being 100% Mac.
