Comment Re:patented keyboard technology? (Score 3, Informative) 205

Your link is for an Apple suit over a design patent. Rounded corners was only a part of that design patent. Anyone can use rounded corners and not violate the design patent. They can't copy the entirety of the design patent. Hence the conclusion that Apple suing over the stand alone concept of rounded corners is a myth.

Social security is 6.2%, and 1.45% for medicare, making it combined 7.65%

That is the part that shows up on a paystub, then the employer pays the same again making the total 15.3%. Those who are self employed get to pay the full amount themselves. I always thought it was tricky to hide half of payroll taxes in that way. It's always better to have the real numbers in people's face.

Comment Why is libm.a empty? (Score 2, Funny) 134

From the FAQ:

On musl, the entire standard library is included in a single library file — libc.a for static linking, and libc.so for dynamic linking. This significantly improves the efficiency of dynamic linking, and avoids all sorts of symbol interposition bugs that arise when you split the libraries up — bugs which have plagued glibc for more than a decade.

Bringing it all together? That's why they call it the love musl.

I would have to agree with you on that. The summary refers to the Sparkfun multi-meter as "yellowins-orange" but in the picture it looks strikingly like the yellow that fluke uses. The grey face is pretty darn close to the grey Fluke uses too. I'd like to see a side by side comparison photo.

The curves and proportions are slavishly copied as well. This was meant to confuse no doubt.
