Workingmac.com Interview With Jordan Hubbard
LiquidPC writes: "workingmac.com has an interview
with Jordan Hubbard (one of the founders of the FreeBSD project, and
currently works for Apple on development of OS X). Questions range from
'How do open-source operating systems compare to closed-source operating systems?' to
'What does the future hold for FreeBSD?'" It's a quick interview, but a good read. Interesting that to talk about the Mac OS now is to talk about UNIX.
I'm a meta-troll

Punk means thinking for yourself
You aren't hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head
Chorus:
Nazi Punks
Nazi Punks
Nazi Punks...FUCK OFF!
Nazi Punks
Nazi Punks
Nazi Punks...FUCK OFF!
If you're gonna fight, get outta here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't tryin' to be police
When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy
Repeat chorus
Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your back when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you got real balls
You still swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In the real fourth reich you'll be the first to go
Repeat Chorus
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go...unless you think!
-Dead Kennedys
help me
I dropped two points, but that was as a result of starting a DB flamefest and getting -1 Offtopic and -1 Troll. Like you're about to. And me again in all probability.
But, like the man says, not that I give a shit.
Pretty shite interview BTW. I take it the submissions queue got toasted along with a load of other stuff then?
Dave
I write a blog now, you should be afraid.
care to back that up with some fact? there are ALOT of Solaris boxes out there.
Maybe it was something you said?
Either that or it was just another result of a shockwave emitted by the collision between mac happy users and the unix tao of old. I suspect the DB wipeout to be just as much a victim of this as your karma. May OS-X live long and shake the foundations of computerdom for many years to come.
Shut up BSD ownz j00!
Ok then, I stand corrected. Uh...heh.
I've got a noose waiting for you ya redneck nazi
prick. =)
Watch your back jack.
shutup cockmaster
pN: What is your history with the FreeBSD project?
Jordan: I started it along with three other folks back in 1992. It's grown quite a bit since then and so have most of us as well (too much sitting).
How come geeks either seem to be really large (as in above example) or anorexic and needing a lot more calories? Is it just that some don't get enough exercise because they're distracted by coding, while others don't get enough food because they're distracted by coding?
aahh..... nothing like negative karma...
I need to get a life...
geez, i've seen that a bajillion times. Not impressive. And yes, there goes my Karma, but I like to see responses to my comments.
Go Kathryn Thurber!
this is old already.
PLEASE shut the fuck up!!!
Yet nothr crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick nd its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For ll practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BS is dying

Nice try, fuckbreath. I always check the URL at the bottom of my screen before clicking.
You had me at "dicks fuck assholes".
I've read this post before. It wasn't interesting then, it isn't interesting now. Give it a rest.
You call yourself the Moral Majority
We call ourself the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but we're going to survive
God must be dead if you're alive
You say, 'God loves you. Come and buy the Good News'
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If Jesus don't save 'til we're lining your pockets
God must be dead if you're alive
Circus-tent con-men and Southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
It's the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the Salem Witch Trials
Stodgy ayatollahs in their dobble-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and a bible
God must be dead if you're alive
Blow it out your ass, Jerry Falwell
Blow it out your ass, Jesse Helms
Blow it out your ass, Ronald Reagan
What's wrong with a mind of my own?
You don't want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if you're such a fool
You're planning for a war with or without Iran
Building a police state with the Klu Klux Klan
Pissed at your neighbour? Don't bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag
Blow it out your ass, Terry Dolan
Blow it out your ass, Phyllis Schlafly
Ram it up your cunt, Anita
God must be dead
If you're alive
God must be dead
If you're alive
