    If you open a chequing account you run the risk of someone forging a check.

    Arrgh! You use the proper spelling of "chequing" then lose all karma with "check".

  10. BSD licensed? on The Next XFree86 Wars: XFT2 vs STSF · · Score: 1


    Interesting to note that it's released under the BSD license. Are they hoping that arch-rivals such as Microsoft adopt the product or are they just thinking that it won't take off?

    I know this is was off topic for the article, but since you are *grub* I will ask you a quick question. here goes

    RH 8.0. Created grub password. Have not been prompted yet for it at any time. Downloaded 2.4.xx Athlon kernel. Will not upgrade. Failed three times. Would grub password have any thing to do with this?


    Ahh yes, the grub password problem..
    Well, here is what I would strongly recommend:

    Format your hard drive

    Install OpenBSD and their bootloader.

    Realize that neither myself nor grub.net has no affiliation with the grub bootloader project.

    Wallow in your own filth.

    Hope this helps, if I can be of any further assistance please feel free to write me at the address linked above.

  22. Re:I have a question on NetBSD Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    When Linux was first coming from the womb, the *BSD folks were embroiled in a lawsuit regarding AT&T code (IIRC). The uncertainty of the *BSD code's 'freeness' & future along with the timing of Linux's initial release were perfect for Linux.

    I still love *BSD, though. :)

    I'm waiting on my first set of OpenBSD 3.2 CD's

    Owww! Lucky you! Your first virgin install of OpenBSD may take a try or two, but the sheer joy and sanity of the system once you're done will be worth every moment.

    Enjoy it, I know I do.

    Microsoft Bug May Attract Big Worm

    So there I was at a Halloween party. This woman dressed up as a giant insect walks up. I realise she has a Microsoft logo on the chest of her costume.

    I was hooked.

    "So," she asked "does me being a Microsoft Bug make your Big Worm want to come out and play?" I was flabbergasted.. There I was being asked this by the woman of my dreams and I was wearing a Tequila Bottle costume...
