And while the JavaStation has been running NetBSD for a while, full support is now completely in-tree: NetBSD's Martin Husemann announced today that he has fixed all outstanding issues with JavaStation support. This means, that you can now run your JavaStation with a stock distribution of NetBSD/sparc. The JavaStation-NC is a network computer class machine built on the microSPARC-IIep processor. More information about the JavaStation can be found in the JavaStation HOWTO, Martin's email to the port-sparc mailing list and Valeriy E. Ushakov's paper 'Porting NetBSD to JavaStation-NC.'"

So, you bleeding heart anti-liberation wankers. This is the end-game.
If the Coalition has the guts to turn Saddam over to the Iraqis for some real "interrogation", we'll soon find those missing WMDs. I hope you're not going to start whining about HIS human rights...

  Too bad that Saddam was never a threat to the USA, and any WMD's he has left were from the 1980's and Reagan's moronic support of a murderous dictator. It is not America's job to liberate the world.

  Keep an eye on Donald Rumsfield then. It's not like the U.S hasn't invested huge amounts of money and weapons in Iraq over the past few decades. Who'd you think they got their chemical weapons from in the first place, anyway? Saddam didn't brew them up in a bathtub in Tikrit; the Good 'Ol Boys in the United States sold them to him.
  
  As for France; fuck 'em. They're currently wringing their hands over the EU consitution and couldn't give a fuck. Surprise surprise, France and Germany already have everything they want out of it. Apparently the rest of us can take a running jump. Cunts.

- Where is Debby now?

- What does Debby look like (jpg, if possible).
- Does Debby do Linux or is she really a Windows gal?
- Where was Debby from originally (town, high school, etc)?

Oct. 23 -- BSD resumed receiving life-sustaining care yesterday in a
Florida hospital room, but many experts said there is virtually no hope
that it will ever recover, despite it fan boy's desperate hopes.

"IF IT'S over a year, BSD's not ever going to get up," said Fred Plum, a
professor emeritus at Weill Cornell College in New York. "You'd just
don't see it. It just doesn't happen."
BSD, 39, has been in a persistent vegetative
state since its heart stopped for unknown reasons in 1990. A feeding
tube in BSD's stomach was removed this past Wednesday after its husband,
Theo De Ratt, who said his wife had told him she (BSD) would not want to
be kept alive under such circumstances, won a long series of court
battles to have life-sustaining nourishment withdrawn so she (BSD) could
die.
