BSDs typically have all their userspace tools in the same tree as the kernel, it's easier for them to make these breaking changes than it is for linux where the kernel live in one place and the rest of the code is scattered far and wid

What a ridiculous comment, a gun's only purpose is to kill, and yes, incapacitated people should not be driving if they present a danger to other road users.

I didn't flag it, but I'd imagine a lot of people don't trust the source (any more). Edit: Why the downvotes? I didn't indicate my position, I pointed out that some people don't trust WikiLeaks any more, which is ob

The flow parser is already available in js, it doesn't seem impossible to bring the rest of it to the browser but I'm not aware of anyone working on it

Why is it ok to scald patients in third world countries? What if the quirks lead to misdiagnosis etc? If there was a way to produce this technology safely and cheaply people would be doing so
