OpenBSD 3.3 Song
flynn_nrg writes "Even although version 3.3 is not out yet, users can already enjoy the new 3.3 song:
"Puff the Barbarian". Like other Barbarians before him, Puff has had to face some pretty crazy challenges. This song is an allegory of the recent difficulties we went through dealing with Sun, who refused our request for documentation about their UltraSPARC III processors. We want documentation, because these are the fastest processors with a per-page eXecute bit in the MMU, needed to fully support our new W^X security feature. In the meantime, the AMD Hammer has come onto the scene, and this processor supports an eXecute bit in 64-bit mode. And it is going to be faster... Both
mp3
and
ogg versions available."
At the tower Puff appealed
For the wisdom of the One
Denied, his mind did reel
Puff was getting tired of Sun
Broke down the guard
Cause math is hard
Found McNealy on his throne
All alone and only bones
Come the Sun King blade ablur
Hammer down eclipse the Sun
And Puff, the land secured
The new King Barbarian!
We already know that Hammer will wipe Sun off the map, oh wait, I forgot that Sun's messaging software will save the day. heh Probably just like their Linux distro showed the world how hip they could be to open source.

You pirates just wait until the RIAA hears about this...
I tried playing the download on my Windows XP machine, but every time I do I get this screen going flashing by saying something about "free software related file identified -- launching propaganda" and it starts playing some .NET advertizement instead.
Geeks definitely should not sing. There is a reason why Fox will never have a show called "Geek Idol".
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
Anyone else find it annoying that the OpenBSD songs don't have ID3 tags giving proper attribution?
I thought the whole point of using a BSD license over public domain was that BSD license gives credit.
I really really liked their 3.0 and 3.1 release songs. Systemagic and E-Railed. They're on the same page as the 3.3. What awesome promo for their most righteous OS. GG guys!
Liberty.
And, I think it's really cool to hear music that actually has something to say! Not just that, but something that never gets heard in a musical medium too. It's refreshing that they can pull it off. They're making social, political and personal statements in their music and it gets me excited,
REEELEEEAASSEEE TIIIIIIMMME!!!
Liberty.
I think it's pretty pointless that this is already
on slashdot. Please give the mirrors time to update,
and get the songs afterwards.
$ cvs -qd mirbsd-cvs@bsdadvocacy.org:/cvs co -PA src/share/misc/contrib
will get you all of the songs 3.0 - 3.3 in the MP3
versions, with lyrics. And I uploaded that back over
my 16K link.
My Karma isn't excellent, damn it! (And
Moderate this obvious troll down. It would be a troll if I posted on a Windows-related software release that I tried to run it with WINE in Linux and I was told that it could not run due to not complying with a viral open license; thus, my parent comment is JUST as much a troll.
But did the opening verse sound a bit like Dr. Frank Furter? Time warp, anyone???
Then the rest sounding a bit like slow Iron Maiden... *headbang*
Max points for coolness, geekiness, and creativity!
"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." Bill Gates Yeah Right!
Dio is back!
Lookout!
*grabs testicles*
is there a http download link for it? the evil sysadmins here at work block out ftp for us little people.
I was able to listen to the song in my pc ok, but how do I build it from source? Where are the makefiles?
We want documentation, because these are the fastest processors with a per-page eXecute bit in the MMU, needed to fully support our new W^X security feature.
Mmm, fastest in which sense of the word ?
For all I know it _could_ be true if what is meant is "fastest processors with an OpenBSD port". If not that's patently false,
and a single counter-example is sufficient.
Here is one: Itanium2 (all IPF/IA64 processors have W/R/X bits in the MMU)
Anybody claiming that SparcIII is faster than Itanium2 needs a good head check.
If you prefer commercial television advertisements to actual music with singing (and what self-respecting American doesn't?), try the Linux Switch Commercial!
this is the real deal, boyo.
