It's too bad John felt he needed to seek treatment to 'cure' his autism. I was diagnosed when I was 17, and I get to interact with a lot of other students on the spectrum every day at my school. There are a few students that

I believe when the government twisted Yahoo's hand and they put up a fight, Yahoo was given a fine that increased exponentially every day they didn't comply. Yahoo would have owed the US gov. a sum equivalent to the GDP by the end

Perhaps this is a feature that would make the comments on hacker news worse? I'd be interested if they tested it, but I can't say for certain if I think it should become a feature or not.

you can side load it if you still have the code/binary. that's what I've done. how it updates the screen with notifications is a little hacky though so I'm glad they are bringing a native implementation. hopefully this c

I don't think there's an issue with OpenBSD adoption. OpenBSD attracts the type of users they want to support I imagine. Leave it to someone else to push the "Year of *nix desktop" agenda.
