OpenBSD 3.3 Song · Slashdot Mirror

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."

Well when the file is copied and redistributed, there is no credit given to the musicians or to the OpenBSD project itself. It seems pretty pointless and lazy to not spend the 1 minute to fill in the ID3 tags before distributing the MP3's.
