    I'm getting a 403 on the torrent file. I'd be happy to share my employer's weekend bandwidth for the torrent, but it needs to be fetchable!

    1) Why did the BSD user cross the road? He wanted to make sure that truck really did run him over.

    So, for the same truck to run him over, it would have to be backed up. Seems like a Windows or Linux user to me. AKA: dumbass'

    2) Why did the BSD user attend a LUG meeting? He got sick of the cold nights meeting up at the local cemetery.

    We were at the cenetery diging up the Linux and SCO code and comparing the remains. Normally, we prefer clubs.

    3) What did one BSD user say to another BSD user? Nothing, the undead can't speak.

    That would be dead, not undead. Cannot even tell a joke right, must be a windows/linux user.

    4) How many BSD users does it take to change a light bulb? It doesn't really matter because the first user will convince the rest of them that the old bulb is still working.

    I just don't know what to say to this one, well other than appparently your mother and father must be brother and sister.
