OpenBSD Books On The Way
*no comment* writes "Well with all the advancements in PF and secure code wouldn't it be nice if someone would write a book on OpenBSD??? Oh wait, someone is. A guy named Jacek Artymiak is doing just that. The OpenBSD Gazetteer is scheduled for release shortly after the release of what may be the best release ever of OpenBSD (IMHO). Vastly improved PF, ALTQ, and BIND 9 is now default, not to mention procop stack protection. Out of the box it's ready to go as a firewalling packet-filtering bandwidth-throttling machine. A thread had started to pick up over at deadly.org."

Lucky us, if you had, you would have seen the discussion is on deadly.

The testicles are physically removed via an incision in the scrotum. To simpify, an incision is made, the testicle is pulled out, the cord is tied off, and the testicle is removed.
The testicles are tightly tied-off at the base of the scrotum and allowed to die from lack of blood (this can take up to six or more hours, but irreversible damage may occur within the hour in some people). For the first twelve hours the pain is agonizing, but after that feeling dulls until the testicles are entirely dead. At this point they can be cut off without any pain or bleeding. The band is left on until the area is healed enough to hold together. This method of castration is commonly done on farms and is also the method favored by home and SM practitioners due to its relative simplicity and safety. An added benefit is that it also removes the scrotum.
Because of the intense degree of pain, few people successfully use a Burdizzo on themselves. The Burdizzo is a farm tool that quickly crushes and destroys the vessels supplying the testicles. After it is used the testicles shrink in size and are eventually absorbed by the body. If the Burdizzo is not closed quickly enough, the vessels will swell and problems will arise. Those that have successfully used the Burdizzo have generally had a friend close it for them.
Long term electrical testicular abuse can in some cases lead to castration. Other eunuchs have taped up and shot off their testicles with guns. Others have crushed their testicles. Anything that kills the testicles or their blood supply will work. Other people have had complications from CBT play lead to medical castration.
