    The trolls must be asleep - there are no "BSD is dead" posts yet.

    Even though I dont use BSD, reading such comments over and over is annoying.

    I know this is sorta off-topic, but I just heard some sad news on talk radio -- TV host Sean Hannity was found dead in his hotel room last night after a book signing. The coroner has not yet officially ruled it a suicide, but apparently that's what it's going to be ruled.

    I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will mourn his passing -- even if you didn't agree with him, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Heh, the fact is, in the BSD world, nobody gives a flying f*ck about what Stallman or Torvalds think.
