Fix the Bugs, Secure the System. Does an overview of OpenBSD, then explains Format String Ugliness, Buffer Overflows, The Wrong Way to Fix Overflows, along with numerous other things."
Reports are that he died from complications resulting from \"Developers: Fix the Bugs, Secure the System\". Truly a internet icon. He will be missed :(

hahahahahahaha idiot, you didn't get first post, and me, a lousy AC is mocking you!!!! quit molesting goats!!!
I just heard the sad news on CBC radio. Web Entrepreneur/pioneer Tubcat was found dead in its home this morning. Even if you never liked its work, you can appreciate what it did for fat kitties. Truly a Canadian icon. :(
Tubby will be missed

Ooh show me that smile.
Don't waste another minute on your crying.
We're nowhere near the end.
We're nowhere near.
The best is ready to begin.
As long as we got each other
We got the world
Sitting right in our hands.
Baby rain or shine;
All the time.
We got each other
Sharing the laughter and love.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Netcraft community when last month IDC confirmed that Netcraft 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 Netcraft has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Netcraft is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in th recent Sys Admin comprehensive
networking test.
You don't need to be a
Kreskin to predict Netcraft's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Netcraft faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Netcraft because Netcraft is dying. Things are looking very bad for Netcraft. As many of us are already aware, Netcraft continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Netcraft 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 Netcraft are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus Netcraft posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Netcraft users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Netcraft posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put Netcraft at about 80 percent of the Netcraft market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Netcraft users. This is consistent with the number of Netcraft Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, Netcraft 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 yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Netcraft has steadily declined in market share. Netcraft is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Netcraft is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. Netcraft continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practi

The record is clear on one thing: no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate *BSD are one step away from spiritualists wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shround over a once hopeful *BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for *BSD.
try these:
linux bug = 845,000
gnu/linux bug = 196,000
redhat linux bug = 71,300
os x bug = 126,000
What do these mean? Decide for yourself.

City officials in Biloxi, Mississippi did not expect much from Black Springbreak. Despite predictions by event organizers that thousands of black students would descend on the breezy Gulf Coast resort town, the big weekend of April 6 approached with little fanfare. Advance ticket sales for Springbreak shows were low and hotels were not booked.
Caught unprepared, Biloxi was about to be hit by destruction equal to a hurricane. During that April 6 weekend, 20,000 young blacks would swarm over Biloxi in an orgy of mayhem, vandalism, crime, and terror. Police were overwhelmed and eventually retreated from the savage horde. The citizens of Biloxi, many retirees, barracaded themselves in their homes and waited for the end.
The lawlessness erupted early. Massive traffic jams choked the roads and highways leading into town when black motorists stopped to shout at each other, dance on their cars, or urinate in the street. Local residents reported that black males were masturbating in front of cars driven by horrified white females stranded in traffic.
As the teeming mob spread out into the suburbs, homeowners caught blacks defecating on their lawns or having sex with a whole neighborhood watching. Every major street was littered with trash. And the worst was yet to come.
By Saturday night, police had lost control of the situation. The beaches were unsafe for whites, who stayed away in droves. White women who ventured onto the shoreline were often surrounded by hooting blacks and stripped of their clothes. Several were raped. Yet Rip Daniels, a local black radio host, celebrated the event with live shows broadcast wherever the crowd was rowdiest.
The crime wave that engulfed Biloxi finally resulted in the police shooting one of the troublesome visitors. Monday morning, the local press and city leaders were in a frenzy to minimize the damage caused by Black Springbreak. No tourists come to the Gulf Coast to be raped, robbed, and beaten.
Delusions, Rationalizations, and Spin Control
The big question facing Biloxi is: ``What about next year?'' Acting as if the rampage had been a partial success as a tourist attraction, business and community leaders offered unconvincing suggestions to prepare for a yearly onslaught of black pillage. A town meeting was called to address some of the obvious problems.
Indifferent to the anger and fear Black Springbreak incited among whites, local black leaders sulked when Biloxi whites failed to respond to calls for unity.
``This was supposed to be a town meeting, and I'm disturbed by the lack of diversity here,'' noted Kathy Egland, president of the Gulfport branch of the NAACP. ``If we can't get together and dialogue, we're headed for serious trouble.''
Meanwhile, local journalists rushed en masse to psychologists and academics in a desperate search for a convenient and palliative explanation for the rampage. More importantly, the liberal establishment scavenged about for a situational ethic to fit the crime.
The entire Black Springbreak disaster was termed a perceptual problem and a clash of ``alternate realities.'' White people, who at best had their property used for a toilet, were suffering from ``selective memory.''
``There were people who saw pieces of (Black Springbreak),'' according to Dr. David Hargrove of the University of Mississippi Psychology Department. ``There were people who saw Sodom and Gomorrah, and people who didn't see anything. Was it Sodom and Gomorrah? And what does that mean to someone from the First Baptist Church in Pass Christian? The truth is somewhere lost in those perceptions. People tend to see what they want to see and evaluate it the way they want to evaluate it.''
And for those misguided whites who interpreted Black Springbreak in racial terms, cognitive psychologist Dr. Patricia O'Neill provides a dose of psycho-babble:
``What is telling them to do that is their own set of life experiences...People tend to ignore information which disconfirms what they are already believing.''
Unable to grasp alternate realities or to overcome their cognitive dissonance, whites must confront the mess left behind by an unwanted flood of black miscreants.
However, Tana Whitfield, who participated in Black Springbreak, rejected any condemnation of the event. Instead, she produced a list of demands for next year:
``All I can say about next year is you better have trash cans and port-a-lets ready. My generation is different from the last generation. If you tell us we can't come, you best believe we're going to come.''
Recently, the mayor of Biloxi ordered the Confederate Battle Flag removed from all public properties and replaced with the obscure First National Confederate banner. Before the Battle Flags came down, the black hordes showed little interest in swarming into Biloxi. The mayor and city officials should take note that the Battle Flag apparently prevents a plague of lawlessness.

Anyone else notice the Quicksilver G4?
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
Thanks for that link, now I know how sick and twisted people are since www.goatse.cx beat out popular sites like BBC, Ebay, and Microsoft! Does anyone else find this disturbing? Or is just everyone "curious"?
Anywhoo, I can't say much about OpenBSD. I have the damn CD lying on my desk waiting to be installed on a computer to be used as a firewall. It's a cool project, but I have a lot of other projects that are considered higher priorities than this.
Cool, where is Berkely Pascal?
