Busy BSD: New FreeBSD Status Report

Posted by michael on from the worker-bees dept.

edhall cut-and-pastes "After a six-month hiatus, a new FreeBSD Status Report has just been issued, along with a promise to resume its bi-monthly publication. As the report itself makes obvious, a lot has happened over the last six months. Progress has been happening along many fronts; those groups making reports include: [snip] These are, of course, just the projects that remembered to send in a report -- there are many more ongoing efforts than listed here; see this page for a fuller but not necessarily complete list (you'll note that there are status reports for projects not listed there, such as the AMD64 port)."

  4. *BSD Sux0rs by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    In a startling turn of events today, a previously little-known fact came into the public eye: "*BSD Sux0rs". This came as a complete surprise to the BUWLA, or BSD Users With Large Assholes, as they previously thought that *BSD 0wned.
    "You see, even though I have never contributed code to any BSD project, I thought it was my duty to be a big asshole to others which don't use the OS I do, because it just 0wnz.", said one FreeBSD user. "Now that I know it sux0rs, though, I have to go find something else to be an asshole about."

    One notorious OpenBSD fanatic known as WideOpen, told reporters, "I have to kill myself. This isn't how it was supposed to happen. My BSD has always been the best, and shouting that opinion in other people's faces at every chance I got has been my only hobby. It was all I ever did. It was what got me out of bed in the morning. Now I have to die. I will jam my bedpost up my ass until I hit my brain. It is the only way to go: BSD style."

    In the volatile world of operating systems anything can happen. "At least we don't sux0r as much as Windows users", BigAzz, a relatively well-known NetBSD user said. "Screaming things in people's faces is my calling. Now I need to scream that BSD sux0rs. What a sad world. At least I won't kill myself like those uber-asshole OpenBSD guys. They are just way over the top. Or were, at least."

    Nobody knows for sure what the future holds for the state of operating systems, but with Netcraft confirming the sux0r status, *BSD users all over the world will have to stick something else up their asses from now on or risk looking even more gay than they used to.

      You fucking loser queers wouldn't know a great OS if a monopoly shoved it down your throat. Linux is for faggots, queers, commies and people who fuck their mothers, sisters and dogs. FreeBSD is the only *NIX OS even worth considering. Here's to Murray pounding that worthless little piece of crap Linus in his ass over and over again, like the little bitch he is. You fucking commie queers. Get a life. Just because an OS is beyond your comprehension and technical expertise doesn't mean you need to spread lies about it. Go back to school and learn instead of getting frustrated and spreading FUD, code-commie cocksucking ass pumping jizz drinking faggot Linux users.

    The *BSD Wailing Song

    What's left for me to see
    In my ship I sailed so far
    What can the answer be
    Don't know what the questions are.
    And after all I've done
    Still I cannot feel the sun
    Tell me save me
    In the end our lost souls must repent.
    I must know it is for certain
    Can it be the final curtain
    As long as the wind will blow
    I'll be searching high and low.
    Who knows what's really true
    They say the end is so near
    Why are we all so cruel
    We just fill ourselves with fear.
    And heaven and hell will turn
    All that we love shall burn
    Hear me trust me
    In the end our lost soul must repent.
    I must know it is for certain
    Can it be the final curtain
    As long as the wind will blow
    I'll be searching high and low
    Final curtain
    Final curtain

    "Do not stand at my hard disk and forever weep.
    I am not there; I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glints on snow.
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn's rain.
    When you reboot in the morning's hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Do not stand at my hard disk and forever cry.
    I am not there. "

    us trolls enjoy responses to our carefully crafted posts.

    I think you will find that there are a few BSD trolls out there in the World. I am responsible for this particular 10 things about *BSD post but someone else has actually started to post it.

    I largely just copy and paste from previous comments. I check Slashdot about 3 times a day.

    I post from work and at home which various IPs, so you'd have to ban a whole subnet. Of course people like yourself should just read at +1 or greater, simple stuff really.

    So ironic that you are posting as an AC -you even sound like a troll ;)

    I am proudly contributing to the troll count for *BSD. BTW I'm not a teenager.

    It is funny that BSD has a high troll count. I sometimes laugh wildly about it.

    P.S. *BSD is dying.
