Sorry but your girlfriend is a fucking piece of shit if she asked you to do that.

Darling Smorgrav

What that writeup doesn't tell you is that those guys had had about 2 sixpacks each before they jumped on their car. As cruel as it may sound, they got what they deserved.

Darling Smorgrav

Is that you Darling Smorgrav?

Dude, firefox is written in C++, and uses XUL with GTK+ bindings (and Windows bindings on the win32 version). If you didn't even know that I can't give credibility to the rest of your comment.

Of course Matt knew this mutex approach to the SMP problem would never work, and here's the proof. A new version shipping 2 years late, full of bugs and with little, if any, chance of ever working. The assholes that decided to remove his commit bit must be pretty jealous about the fast development pace in DragonFlyBSD land.

Darling Smorgrav

This is hardly surprising considering that one of the guys in charge doesn't even know how to quote on mailing lists (yes, that 75 IQ Scott Long idiot) and half of the developers are flaming assholes too busy with their egos to realise what a piece of shit 5.3 is going to be. Do you remember the 2.2.8 days when FreeBSD was rock solid? That's no longer true.

Thankfully, somebody came up a solution

Darling Smorgrav

It's very simple. FreeBSD 5.3 is a total failure. If you want to look at a working BSD system, look at DragonFlyBSD or NetBSD.

Darling Smograv

In the last year you say? I'm still using a 550MHz pIII box I bought in 2000. I recently pondered upgrading it but don't need the extra speed as I don't play games (I have a PS2 and use FreeBSD).

Darling Smorgrav

Yes, too bad FreeBSD 5.3 is a fucking piece of shit.

Darling Smorgav

And for security, both FreeBSD and NetBSD are more secure than OpenBSD by default. You can see that by using nmap against newly installed machines.

AFAIK neither FreeBSD nor NetBSD support random dynamic library addresses, random malloc and mmap, random i-node allocation, propolice in kernel and userland, chrooted apache, and many other goodies that come out of the box with OpenBSD.

nmap 3.70 can't even tell that my box runs OpenBSD, and it's a run off the mill 3.5 GENERIC server. Sorry pal, you may not like other OpenBSD features like lack of proper threading, but when it comes to security it's a no brainer: OpenBSD is *the* choice.

Turbo Smorgreff

Hotmail is irrelevant.

I'm glad 2.0 is coming out soon. FreeBSD 5.3 is such a disaster (broken ACPI, SMP, usb and lots more) that I can't wait for NetBSD 2.0 to be ready. Besides NetBSD seems to be free of assholes like Darling Smorgrav

SMP works perfectly fine on i386. I've been wanting to get rid of this FreeBSD 5.3 piece of shit for a long time. Thank you, NetBSD.

Solaris on x86 is a joke and nobody would use it unless they have a very special need. So, on x86 (and opteron) Linux and BSD are the way to go. Now, we all know that Solaris scales very well and you'd be crazy if you replaced Solaris with Linux on your shiny new E15k. And, really, that's it, run Solaris on your Sun-branded big iron. If you buy from SGI and IBM you might be running Linux on high end hardware. I don't see why people waste time discussing this. The $25,000 RISC workstation is dead, even more so since the AMD64 was announced, get over it.

Turbo Smorgreff

Can't speak for others, but I certainly do. I wish they'd open their damned acroread software. Why? They make money on Acrobat producer, not reader. We (BSD users) would gain a native reader (no, kpdf, gv, and xpdf don't cut it). I'm not asking them to open Photoshop.

To stay on topic, I have my doubts that this will ever make it to digital cameras and software other than Adobe's. Why? We already have jpeg for lossy storage and tiff and png for lossless, both of them widely supported by existing software. This new format doesn't add anything that the RAW format cameras use has.

Turbo Smorgreff

Ask that person to use open file formats. If possible, don't accept documents in proprietary formats.

I for one am tired of people expecting me to have Excell and Office installed on my FreeBSD desktop.

Turbo Smorgreff

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this become a standard, but we still have a long road until we can get rid of 'de facto standards' (read: MS Office). I advocate OO.org every time I can, but it's harder when people are used to get MS's software for free from their friends. Anybody care to comment on what can be done to 'sell' OO.org to these people?

Turbo Smorgreff

Yesterday we had the CNN story with Mark Hamill telling people not to take SW too seriusly and now Lucas does exactly the opposite. Way to go dude, keep pissing off your customers and fans.

Turbo Smorgreff

What were you expecting? That guy's just a chorizo-eating spic.

Turbo Smorgreff

Why? Miranda Otto is way prettier than Liv. Oh, and she can fight too.

Turbo Smorgreff

Who are you trying to fool? Nobody would be such an imbecile to allow remote root access, be it via ssh or whatever means.

Turbo Smorgreff

Tom Lord is the RCS world equivalent of FreeBSD developer Darling Smorgrav. Both are brilliant coders but can turn into royal assholes at any time.

Turbo Smorgreff

Send patches or shut the fuck up.

Turbo Smorgreff

Well, if you think about it, half of the Alpha engineers ended up working for AMD and helped making both the Athlon and the Opteron cpus, so it's some kind of return to home :)

Turbo Smorgreff

GNU's embrace and extend (*cough*tar*cough*, *cough*bash*cough*) bad, BSD license good.

Turbo Smorgreff

At least they asked, unlike what happened in this case

Turbo Smorgreff

The solution is extremely simple if you use OpenBSD.

rdr on $ext_if from any os "Windows" to any port smtp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025

99.9% of all spam comes from compromised Windows boxen, and nobody with a clue would run a mail server on windows.

Turbo Smorgreff

The tittle is misleading, what IBM found out was how to measure the spin of a whole atom, not electron.

Turbo Smorgref

Do you have to agree with your computer to purchase new hardware?
