OpenBSD (Still) Seeks UltraSparc III Docs From Sun

Posted by timothy on from the vogon-constructor-fleet-tactics dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is a very interesting article on kerneltrap regarding OpenBSD's lingering battle with Sun over UltraSparc III documentation (that's right ... it still hasn't been resolved). Jeremy Andrews relates his efforts to get a position from Sun on the matter. In summary, he was completely stonewalled ... and that is exactly what makes the article so noteworthy."

    I stayed after class when the bell rang. My
    teacher remained at her desk starring at me with
    those dark, innocent eyes. She licked her
    lips as I began to get hard.


    I slowly walked over to her desk and looked at
    her brown hair tied up, her brown puppy
    eyes, and her big dick protuding from her skirt.


    I slowly lowered to my knees and sucked her big
    dick still she was shaking... uh.. uh..
    uhh.. .she came... mmm, the taste of cherry
    koolaid.

    Why would anyone want to run FreeBSD on their new UltraSPARC III system anyway? Any machine based on a USIII is still going to be quite new...it's not like you'd be trying to turn an old Sun IPC box into a firewall or anything.

    Why won't slashdot report the immediate availability of kde 3.1? It's on their front page, for chrissakes...

    According to very reliably anonymous coward post-bots, *BSD is dead. So obviously this request came from an undead BSD. Would you want a bunch of zombies and vampires mucking around in your code?
