FreeBSD 4.8 Released

Posted by michael on from the freer-than-ever dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Murray Stokely announces the long awaited availability of FreeBSD 4.8, the latest FreeBSD-stable release, which has dealt with known security issues, and added initial support for Firewire, HyperThreading, and other new hardware technologies. Murray says that the new release is also the result of conservative updates to a number of software programs in the FreeBSD base system, see FreeBSD 4.8 release notes for more information."

    Yeah, you only get them on the later levels. It's the same mdl as the standard troop but has a funky new skin and is holding a new weapon mdl.

    You might know that Iran has also used chemical weapons against Iraq and that US generals have thratened to use chemical weapons against Iraq before the war.

    1. Iran has NEVER used chemical weapons against anyone.

    2. No US official has EVER threatened to use chemical weapons against Iraq or anyone else.

    If you have any proof of these outlandish allegations, better ante up some links.
