It sure looks slick. If VA Linux made something this nice on the outside and inside (BSD), they probably wouldn't be facing bankruptcy.
Looking at the rest of their product line, I think you'll agree that they'll thumbs-up any piece of crap that's (A) BSD-related and (B) they can charge a premium for on their site.
cool
Don't want one.
Too bad webbies don't have any training in journalism or ethics. Here is a clue. You don't offer up as a "review" advertisements for a product your selling. It is dishonest and against the rules of legitimate journalism. Daemon news has made a habit of these ethical lapses. If Daemon news is listening - it's time to get your ethics together.
I think that this thread has the highest ratio or trolls to real posts, ever.
That being said, I think this box looks great and I'm an avid BSD user.
that+looks+cool
Common sense is not so common.
Hey, you fucknut! It is just you and I am not a bot you fucking dumbass! It is just you, because *BSD community IS YOU AND 2 OTHER FELLAS!!! *BSD is DEAD you fucknut! Haha! May I beat you up at some party?? Please wear a *BSD shirt and I might just do that.
Psychology Today officially confirms: Slashdot is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Slashdot community when recently Psychology Today confirmed that Slashdot lowers the IQ of its readers by at least 20%. Coming on the heels of the latest Government survey which plainly states that Slashdot has lost more brain cells of its readers, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Slashdot is completely eliminating the brain power of its readers, as further exemplified by the number of juvenile and idiotic Troll postings and goats.ex postings.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Slashdot's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Slashdot faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Slashdot because Slashdot is dying. Things are looking very bad for Slashdot. As many of us are already aware, Slashdot continues to lose any informative value to the community as more and more Trolls post meaningless and off-topic comments, rather than posting anything showing any form of intelligence.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Cowboy Neil states that there are 700,000 users of Slashdot. How many intelligent posts are there? Let's see. The number of intelligent posts on Usenet versus the number of intelligent posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 100 to 1. Since the number of posters on Usenet is estimated at about 7 million, it follows that the users of Slashdot are about 1/10th as intelligent as the average Usenet user. Statistics show that the average IQ of a Usenet user is approximately 130, thus indicating that the IQ of the average Slashdot poster is approximately 13. This is well below the intelligence of the average housefly, and probably also reflects the average age of those posting on Slashdot.
All major surveys show that Slashdot users have steadily declined in intelligence. Slashdot is very sick and Slashdot's long term survival prospects are very dim. If Slashdot is to survive at all it will be among immature low-IQ children. Slashdot continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Slashdot is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying
I hate it when that happens.
you+are+lame
Slashdot confirms: BSD is not Dieing. BSD is dead.
mr. hemos: captain malda, i have determined that napster stories are bringing in three to five hundred comments a piece! think of the banner revenues!
;
captain malda: captain to engineering!&n bsp;&nbs p;
engineer roblimo: engineer roblimo here, sir.
captain malda: mr. roblimo... crank out some more napster stories!
engineer roblimo: but captain... the trained monkeys can't take much more! they're pulling them out of the queue as fast as they can!
captain malda: not fast enough, mr. roblimo!
engineer roblimo: we need more submissions!&n bsp;
captain malda: damnit, roblimo, just make something up!
lieutenant jamie: captain, we're receiving a transmission from an unidentified source.
captain malda: patch it through!
osm(over speaker): i want to open-source natalie portman's firm teen buttocks and pouting teen breasts!
helmsman emmett: captain... look!&nb sp;
an aibo approaches the compound. 
lieutenant jamie: captain, the transmission is coming from the aibo!
captain malda: helmsman emmett... moderate it down: -2, flamebait!
helmsman emmett applies the moderation. the aibo pauses but keeps approaching.
osm (over speaker): your feeble moderation points are no match for the power of my modified aibo!
captain malda: engineering, we need more power in the moderation system!
engineer roblimo: but captain... the moderation system is at maximum power!
captain malda: i don't want excuses, roblimo... give me that power!
the aibo begins to move forward, a large antenna rises from the nose.
captain malda: mr. roblimo!
the antenna starts to glow.&nb sp;
captain malda: mr. roblimo!!  ; nbsp;
the antenna glows brighter.  ; nbsp;
engineer roblimo: captain! i have jerry-rigged the moderation system! i converted it to a bitchslap system!
captain malda: helmsman, fire!&nb sp;
helmsman emmett presses the fire button. just as an enormous comment begins transmitting through the speaker...
osm (over speaker): star (as in hot young actress) wars. a story of tender love. it is a period....
the transmission is terminated by the bitchslapping. captain malda relaxes.
captain malda: good work mr. roblimo!
mr. hemos: captain, sensors have detected that yeoman portman was beamed off the ship... into the aibo!
captain malda: lieutenant jamie, open a channel.
captain malda: osm! return yeoman portman at once!
yeoman portman (over speaker): blow it out your ass, dork! i want a real man! an open-source man! a man that knows how to caress my firm teen buttocks and suckle my pouting teen breasts! not a boy who has bad dreams and shits a lot!
osm (over speaker, clearly ecstatic): hahahahahahahahahahahaha! i took a bitchslapping for natalie portman! hahahahahahaahahahahahahaha! come natalie, i will take you to quicktrip and woo you with a vegetarian burrito. i will then take you to see the buffalo and touch you.
yeoman portman (over speaker): oh, open-source man! how my innocent teen heart has yearned for the tender touch of your open-source hand!
osm and yeoman portman (over speaker): hooray!
captain malda: cut that off!
the aibo turns and disappears. transmissions continue beaming from the aibo and are broadcast over the speaker.
captain malda: what the hell is the matter with that guy?!
dr. katz: damnit, rob, i'm a teen-angst zealot, not a psychiatrist!
captain malda (clearly infuriated): engineering!! where the hell are those napster stories?!!
