DragonFlyBSD 1.2 Released

vsarunas writes "The DragonFlyBSD Team is pleased to announce the official release of DragonFly 1.2.0! Get it here, or here, or as a torrent. DragonFlyBSD is a continuation of the stable and high-performance FreeBSD 4 branch of FreeBSD with acpica5 and updated drivers so it runs on more and newer machines. DragonFlyBSD can execute FreeBSD 4 and Linux binaries and uses the FreeBSD ports collection. In addition, DragonFlyBSD is also officially supported by pkgsrc. This release represents a significant milestone in efforts to improve the kernel infrastructure. It features a standards-conformant SACK implementation, improvements to the VFS layer, and a multithreaded networking stack that utilizes the DragonFly lightweight message passing system to communicate among processors. More information can be found on Matt Dillon's journal and the Status page of the DragonFly wiki."

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: Pope John Paul II is dead.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Catholic community when the Vatican confirmed that John Paul II has died, ending his long papacy. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Catholicism has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Catholicism is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent survey of world religions.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Catholicism's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Catholicism faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Catholicism because Pope John Paul II is dead. Things are looking very bad for Catholicism. As many of us are already aware, Catholicism continues to lose mindshare. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    All major surveys show that Catholicism has steadily declined in market share. Catholicism is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Catholicism is to survive at all it will be among religion dilettante dabblers. Catholicism continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Catholicism is dead.

    Fact: Pope John Paul II is dead.
