  1. Re:Journaling Filesystem on FreeBSD 6.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, we do need journalling. There is an implementation that I was told was nearly ready for commit.

  2. Re:Anything coming from Apple? on FreeBSD 6.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Some stuff was brought back. I can remember some msdosfs fixes. I can't remember much else for 6.1, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

    For 7-CURRENT, we have OpenBSM, which Apple have (at least partly) funded.

  3. DRAC on FreeBSD 6.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, this used to be an issue with the DRAC on Dell servers, which is essentially a USB keyboard.

  4. Re:What's the big deal? on Stallman Selling Autographs · · Score: 1

    Tapes and printed manuals actually cost money, don't forget.

  5. What kind of "mark"? on New Internet Regulation Proposed · · Score: 1

    place 'marks and notices' on each page containing 'sexually explicit' content

    What, like a picture of a cock?

  6. Re:I've been following this... on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 1

    So if you never played the game how do you know what it actually says in the EULA? Guessing again?

  7. Re:Beastie (the Daemon) is NOT GOING ANYWHERE on FreeBSD Logo Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1
    'Cause all FreeBSD developers have giant nipples.
    Speak for yourself. I may have beer tits, but my nipples are normal size. The logo clearly has large beer tits, not large nipples.
  8. Re:Where is the new logo? on FreeBSD Project Launches New Website · · Score: 1

    Yes, we are having trouble deciding.

  9. Re:Integrated DB? on Sun Eyes PostgreSQL · · Score: 1

    SQLite is already used in Solaris 10 as the repository for the new smf(5) framework.

    Sure, it's not a "real" RDBMS but it shows that Sun believe that there are applications for databases within the OS sphere.

  10. Re:Here we go again... on Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD · · Score: 1

    And the landfill aspect. I know Americans don't care about that, but the rest of the world mainly does.

  11. DRM? on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    What about all the DRM you were all getting so upset about last week? That was BS then, right?

  12. Re:Remind me... on NRLB Redefines 'Your Own Time' · · Score: 1

    So that still qualifies as "free", does it?

  13. Re:At $49.. on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    In .uk at least, there was a cartoon called Mighty Mouse about 20 years ago.

    The mouse used to wear a yellow jumpsuit and a red cape - see http://tv.cream.org/a-z/m/m2.htm

  14. Re:It isn't touch sensitive, I think on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Umm, the "track ball scrolly thing" *is* a button. You even quoted the text where they say that.

  15. Re:Wow on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 2, Informative

    They also don't have a dropdown menu on the back button

    The dropdown menu for the forward button works for both.

  16. Re:G8 Protestors should be ashamed on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nonsense. Now we shouldn't protest against anything in case London gets bombed?

    I appreciate that the assholes doing the bombing may have seen this as an opportunity, but that is down to them and apportioning any blame to people following the democratic way is disgusting.

  17. This is bad news on Open Solaris Derivative Available · · Score: 1

    The last thing that Solaris needs is to be diluted with "distro" fever. Hopefully the CDDL will help to stop that happening.

  18. Re:i can hardly contain my excitement on Hyperthreading Considered Harmful · · Score: 1

    Those words aren't in the research paper.

  19. Google didn't respect their robots.txt on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't see why AFP are being painted as the bad guys here.
    They have a robots.txt that excludes their news articles, and yet Google is/was indexing them. Bad Google.

  20. Re:Really? on Software Patents Could Stop EU Linux Development · · Score: 1

    The closest I can recall was an uncredited piece of network code that fell under the BSD license. That violated the author's copyright - not patent, just copyright - but was resolved.

    Is that a separate incident to the theft of the ATA code?

  21. Re:Unique in a sense. on Mad Penguin Launches Slackware Handbook Project · · Score: 1

    Mad penguin is almost certainly going to publish this as a book, and make sure things are organized. Looking at the main site (slackersbible.org) you can see they've already picked 4 catagories for articles

    That's far from unique - that's a direct consequence of the fact that they've started with the FreeBSD handbook, which had already done all of things.

  22. Re:Well, so much for the warm fuzzies. on Solaris 10 Released · · Score: 1

    All of RedHat's products are published under the GPL

    Where can I download the source for RedHatEnterprise Linux then?

    Don't base your life view on assumptions, people.

  23. Re:One flaw with tests on NetBSD 2.0 vs FreeBSD 5.3 Benchmarks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, it does. There is no SMP option anymore, because it is always on.

  24. Re:One flaw with tests on NetBSD 2.0 vs FreeBSD 5.3 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    This was fixed a long time ago (by dillon before he left - that long ago).

  25. Re:One flaw with tests on NetBSD 2.0 vs FreeBSD 5.3 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Read the benchmarks test pal, FreeBSD 5.3 doesn't ship with SMP enabled anymore

    Yes it does.
