   Is it possible to port Linux driver code to FreeBSD, given licensing issues and all that? Seems like an 'easy' fix, given that Linux has most of the non-working FreeBSD issues solved..if not all. I'm all for code re-use.

   Don't fret. You're probably better off in the nicely developed parts in India as an engineer than anywhere in the USA.

   This should trend to the top of HN. Apple bills themselves as a privacy-centric company. I hope they clean this up asap.

   The chance of AJ paying out any money on this will be slim to nil, IMHO. I have no idea how they even came up with that figure on those parents other than some lawyer thought it'd be cool to just ask for so much money because they figu

    Anyone noticed how we also tend to have different half-lives for labels describing people, e.g. someone who murders or rapes someone never loses the 'murderer' or 'rapist' label, however someone who stole something irres

    Closing down instead of building modern nuclear plants will prove to be the worst knee jerk/emotional decisions California's leaders have ever made. I hope she's serious about not only keeping Diablo Canyon open but restartin

    Sounds like you aren't being properly motivated and your talents not used. Sign up to a project which is guaranteed to fail if you were the only person working on it. Then you will very quickly find out how your conceit dissolves, once

    If you're already working as an engr/scientist, the best motivation for a graduate degree would be to contribute something 'new' to the field and/or expand your skills so you get better at the job you're alread

    You are being facetious I take it. Twitter started out as free speech forum. We have good definition of what is considered, or rather, NOT considered free speech given by decades of SCOTUS/court jurisprudence. Twitter would be wise to

    Quite a fun brain teaser game! BTW, when you say HTML 5- I am assuming the use of Javascript - since HTML5 is merely a document markup spec?

    Being anti vaccination is fine, it's a human being's right to choose, I only ask they let me know ahead of time if possible of their position.

    Wow, that's intense! Does anyone know if pig's blood typing matches ours and if not how do they overcome that? Would be curious to see what kind of lifetime they get from this transplant. Amazing.

    I've seen his videos a few times via HN - how close is the OS to being able to use GCC or CLANG and say, compile all Debian packages.... which is one of the largest repos. I mean for this to really be usable it would have to be able to

    Systemic - to me at least - means it's a matter of law, thus it affects everyone. I prefer to think of today's instances of racism as an individual/collective (by collective, I don't mean LARGE numbers necessarily) occur
