FreeBSD Ports Tricks

BSD Forums writes "One of FreeBSD's biggest benefits is its ports collection. You can go years without learning more than just make install clean, but there are dozens of features built into the ports tools. OnLamp's Dru Lavigne demonstrates several of these tricks to simplify your life."

  4. The Straight Truth About the GNAA by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The GNAA is a small loose knit group of trolls whose sole purpose is to post retarded shit to various websites. Membership of the group is really irrelevant, but they do have guidelines, which are really just part of their elaborate "troll". Basically, you gotta be a nigger, gay, or both, blah blah. Post an fp for the group and your ub3r l33t, bs ,bs . ...

    The cold hard facts about the GNAA
    There's nothing gay or black about the GNAA. In fact, the GNAA doesnt have a single gay or black member at all, and most likely never will.

    And at this point, Nws4Turds ebraces his heterosexuality, coming out of a "reverse closet" for a brief moment, exposing his inner self. He then feels the need to expound on this idea.

    Truth: GNAA is a group of wanna be script kiddies who troll on lame message boards like 'Slashdot'
    Truth: The GNAA leader 'PenisBird' has a prefrence for porn depicting under age individuals
    Truth: All GNAA members are white
    Truth: None of the GNAA members are gay
    Truth: All GNAA members live with their mothers

    Please, all these lame SCO jokes are starting to get on my nerves. In the last 50+ stories I have yet to se one without a bad SCO joke.
    Okay, some of them are funny and all that stuff but common.
    And people should respect SCO's right to come with claims about Intellectual Property just as any other company. I'm pretty certain that they would not have made such a fuzz about it unless they have some basis behind their claims. So I guess they know what they are doing.

      I think the lame SCO jokes are getting on everybody's nerves; there have been, however, a few gems.

      As to your second point:
      >> I'm pretty certain that they would not have made such a

      >> claims. So I guess they know what they are doing.

      I think you're giving SCO, and litigious companies in general, quite a bit of undue credit there. I see no reason to infer from a company's litigation/statements that there is any validity to their allegations until they produce some sort of proof; having failed to do so, SCO has about as much credibility in my book as the instigators of SLAPP lawsuits.

So my post above is just pure crap, missing context, sentences, logic and uhh everything. Someone please mod it down. Thanks.

  10. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    let's guess that you have some near-term ability to operate your os/network, even if it's the whoreabull payper liesense BugWear(tm) distributed buy the evile kingdumb.

    now what are you going to do?

    more breathing. consult with/trust in yOUR creator. vote with yOUR wallet. that's the spirit.

    yOUR intentions/behaviours will disempower the greed/fear based georgewellian fuddite murdering thieves. that's not a trick you say? right again.

    should we (that includes you) fail to assist in the termination of the behaviours of the Godless execrable, there'll be few ports that are worth visiting.

    pay attention. it's affordable, & can leave one with the sense of not being misled by the walking dead.

    we don't need no stinking bombs. if you're in the bomb making/shipping/firing 'business', you need to check yourself out. don't think that 'got to make a living' lament will hold up at all.

    the lights are coming up now. we're in crisis mode. you can help. do us all a favor, for a change.
