I'll take a crack at helping... First thing you want to do is install cvsup, so su to root, then cd/usr/ports/net/cvsup, then make install clean
Next, here's my cvsup script (which I have run via cron every Thursday):
su-2.05# more `which cvsupLatest`
#!/bin/sh
sed -e 's/CHANGE_THIS/cvsup9/g'/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile >/tmp/stable-supfile &&/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g/tmp/stable-supfile
rm/tmp/stable-supfile
#rm -rf/usr/ports/www/jakarta-tomcat/
sed -e 's/CHANGE_THIS/cvsup9/g'/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile >/tmp/ports-supfile &&/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g/tmp/ports-supfile
rm/tmp/ports-supfile
Running this will update the sources and ports in one go. Finally, I usually use the following to do the whole build world mess in one quick script (change REDRACER to the name of your kernel configuration file):
su-2.05# more `which makeworld`
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
(cd/usr/src/ && make -Bj 4 world && cd/usr/src/ && make -Bj 4 buildkernel KERNCONF=REDRACER && make -Bj 4 installkernel KERNCONF=REDRACER) >&/usr/src/makeworld.log &
Unfortunately, I've only given you a fish, not taught you how to fish, but it really just takes a little poking around to figure out what you need to do. Look at the handbook, especially chapter 9. Rebuilding world and kernel is less space-hungry than you might think, it seems to take more time than anything. Another good source of advice is the newsgroup comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc
Perhaps you should check your facts before slandering Uzbekistan. According to the Economist: "UN officials believe that 2,800 tonnes of opium, convertible into 280 tonnes of heroin, is in the hands of the Taliban, the al-Qaeda network of militant Islamists, and other Afghan and Pakistani drug lords" and "the current food shortage partly reflects a conscious decision by the regime to promote the cultivation of opium rather than wheat."
I thought we were going for something more akin to the Christian holy trinity, instead of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, we have Open, Free and Net BSD. As I see it:
Father: OpenBSD. Stern, forbidding, unyielding, as a firewall should be.
Son: FreeBSD. Down with the people, trying to be user-friendly, ultimately getting nailed to a tree.
Holy Ghost: NetBSD. You're aware it exists, but you never know just what it does.
Of course, I could just be high on caffeine.
You don't need a genetic structure, what you describe could be obtained by modifying the existing Code Red worm to make a random change to the GET request it uses to spread itself. Say, once every 100 attempts to spread, it makes some random change to one character of its 'child'. As in real life, the vast majority of such changes would be either deadly or would end up in the long string of NNNNNNNs and have no effect. Once in a great while, a variant would turn out 'fitter' than its parent, for example by disabling the limitations that keep the parent in check or becoming somehow less visible to human observation.
Give it a year to run, and who knows what could happen?
How much 'research' did it take to discover this? I know I'll sleep a lot better at night, knowing the fearless freedom fighters at the FBI (and other 'law enforcement officials') are forever surfing pr0n and doing battle in the sports chat rooms to save me from those nasty evil terrorists. Come (hehe) to think of it, I'd like to volunteer to help! Where do I sign up?

Seriously, prediction #1: the goal here is to generate the hysteria necessary to make private encrption illegal, or #2: the 'enemy' of the next 4-8 years will continue to be facile computer users and/or programmers. The good news is that the War on Hackers is going to be fought by the same people who lost the War on Drugs.
Given the choice, I'd vote Browne. But given that Browne's not gonna win, I'll take Bush.
It's because he doesn't stand a chance that it's even more important that you vote for Browne, not Bush.
I can't begin to tell you how slimy it makes me feel having voted for Clinton twice. Sure, he won, sure he was 'better' than Bush senior or Dole, but you know who I envy? The 19% who voted for Perot. Because their vote counted. It made something happen in Washington.

Here's how to cut Melissa & her children off at the knees:
Close MS (swear)Word and Excel. Open an Explorer window, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA Create a folder called "Pit of Hell" Move all files that start with "Vba" into the "Pit of Hell" folder. If Windows whines that a file is in use you may have to reboot to do this step.
This prevents VBA from working at all. Word and Excel continue to work, you just may see a message saying 'Unable to initialize Visual Basic environment'. This is a good thing. Occasionally a document completely refuses to open but I just send it back to the originator and ask them to "save it in RTF format, please". If you absolutely need to open a document with VB scripts just move VBA out of the Pit of Hell back where it came from (temporarily of course).

The Libertarian baiting is getting rather tacky, so let's review: which statement(s) below do you agree with: A) The government has a duty to protect consumers from the malice and evil designs of others (online pharmacists in today's case). B) The government has a duty to protect consumers from their own stupidity.
Answers: Agrees with A and B: You are a Democrat. Agrees with A only: You are a libertarian. Agrees with B only: You are a Republican. Disagree with both: You are in a cabin in Montana with far too many guns in your immediate vicinity.
The government's obsession with situation B is to me the root cause of most people's dissatisfaction with government. Not to mention it's depriving me of the schadenfreude which is my right as an American. [/OFFTOPIC] The federal government can and should regulate online pharmacists, tainted food and bad drugs is why the FDA was created in the first place. OTOH, if someone feels that six-inch vitamin C suppositories will keep them from getting cancer, I've got to say that's none of the government's business (except to ensure the purity if the vitamin C). I reserve the right to view the Xrays of the aftermath.

Politicians are the last people whose opinions on all this I want to hear (and journalists are second-to-last). I expect Clinton's and half of congress' reaction to be "Oooooh, Sex!" and a prolonged period fo frothing, rolling around, seizures, and other asinine behavior. And the media can be expected to lament that the unwashed masses are going and fumbling around with genetic technology without 'guidance' from media or politics. Business will rush around trying to make a buck (including insurance company blacklisting of unwanted genes, you betcha).
But before you go out and buy a designer baby, ask yourself this: do we really want to breed everyone with identical super genes, only to be wiped out by the first disease that takes advantage of all that genetic uniformity? Diseases love monocultures. Just ask a wheat farmer.
I have enough fun cleaning my traditional mouse/trackballs of finger crud, crumbs, and spills, now just imagine scaling down everything but the crud 10x and cleaning it. I'll pass, thanks.
The other half of protecting your privacy is to lie, lie, LIE! Are you filling out yet another web registration form asking you needlessly intrusive questions about where you live, your email address, your family, or whatever? Make it up. Yes, I think I'll be William Jefferson Clinton today, that's president@whitehouse.gov to you peons, etc...
I figure if they're going to send me junk [e]mail, I'll give them junk data back.
