IRC Forum with Matthew Dillon of DragonFly BSD
weebl writes "Thursday October 9th at 6:00PM PDT (9PM EDT/1AM GMT) SlashNET's #forum channel will be hosting a Q&A session with Matthew Dillon of the DragonFly BSD Project. This is your opportunity to ask about DragonFly BSD, BSD in general, or any other questions you might have for him.
DragonFly BSD was first announced this past July." If you can't make it to the forum, SlashNET will have a bot running earlier in the day for question submissions, and logs available afterward.
Please? I'm fp. Does that count for anything?
Bring on the yankees baby!!!

"Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?"
SCO isnt a very nice company. I would classify their attempts to extract funds from the Linux community as "crappy"....also, I believe them to have alterior motives
BSD is dying, and the Sox are going to the ALCS!!!
they might actually come true.
What kind of jacked up moderator marked this as "interesting"? This same stupid piece of shit gets posted in most stories about some new operating system, with just the name changed. Allegedly it was originally some Mac rant from ages ago.
Needless to say, it does not fucking apply to dfly, so please get a clue before you moderate.
Might be a troll but you have to admit it's pretty nice.
Trolls dont like to be Flamebait, because they burn so well. Protect our Troll heritage!
Because not everyday an actor gets to write his own OS ;).

You Cruciate Ligament
A dragonfly bit me the other day
That's OK. He's dead by now.
Is there a way to extract individual files from a tar archive without preserving the directory structure? I want something similar to unzip(1)'s command line modifier -j. This junks a file's archive path, and allows unzipping into the current directory.
I mean, who gives a fuck? These tools (Slashnet et al) are half-assed hack artists whose so-called contributions to modern computing are nothing more than fap-fodder for losers who can't find a way to make friends, create accomplishments, and so on.
Fuck the chat logs. What's the matter with you? Go outside and get some fresh air. Ride a bike. Make a cake. Whatever... get away from your idiot box (and I don't mean the television).
As of 9:58pm PDT:
/. record. Does anyone have anything intelligent to say about BSD? Anyone? Anyone?

etc., etc., etc...
This must be some kind of
Its not trolling, its just unfair moderation. Many of us are trying to post useful information for people considering BSD, so they can have some ubiased views to contrast with the pro-BSD propaganda. But the moderators don't appreicate that, since everyone has to be biased towards open-source.
come on, come on

HTML - it's not just for web pages anymore!
Is there some special reason why *BSD submissions always get trolled? Look at how many comments are below 1 on a regular story, then check the *BSD stories. It seems to be especially obvious when it comes to DragonflyBSD. I don't understand what Matthew or anyone else has done to warrant this kind of reaction. /., but please explain. What the fsck is up?
You probably have to reply to this kind of question all the time on the *BSD part of
The Year of Our Lord 2003 has been a particularly bad year for the "B"s,
The real question here is, are the Linux-fanboy anti-BSD trolls going to remember to update the year after December 31st? Or will they just numbly cut and paste as they always have?
Go ahead. Please post links to all these 'unfair' moderations you claim is occuring in this story.
- While you received great reviews for Rumblefish, you followed that up with a role in The Flamingo Kid. Do you think TFK was the reason for a downturn in your career and will "Employee of the Month" revive it?
- Better to work with: Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, Neve Campbell, or Bronson Pinchot?
Thanks, I'll take my answers off the air.you're retarded.
LOL.
You swear in public yet purport to know of morals?
ROTFLMAO.
Thank god you got -1 troll.
Dumbshit.
