They've always been very civil to me... even Theo. Ted Unangst has chewed me out a few times over stupid stuff, but I don't take it personally. Their man pages are the best. They are online too.
CARP. Google upgrades backend stuff all the time, but you never know it. OpenBSD does CARP better than anyone. Try it. I can re-install in less than 10 minutes. Sparc64 or Intel machines. No one is aware as services are still available.
OpenBSD puts a lot of money in consultant's pockets. It's hands down the most secure OS on the market. Got a client that needs a secure redundant firewall but can't afford big, over-priced Cisco gear? OpenBSD to the resuce. OpenBGP, CARP, etc. You can do things with OpenBSD and 15K worth of hardware that would cost six or seven times as much money with dedicated networking hardware. And, you can do it better. So, if you need some easy extra cash get into OpenBSD and start making a killing in the firewall business in your hometown. When you get a reputation for solid, secure systems (they'll wonder how you do it:)) donate some cash to the OpenBSD Foundation and buy some CDs.
The wife routinely jerks the plug to my OpenBSD router out of the wall. She doesn't know how to ssh in and shut it down, so she just unplugs it. She's been doing this for more than a year. It's only had fsck problems twice (nothing serious).
I can prove it. Try this yourself. Write a simple c or c++ hello_word program. Then try to compile and link it with Xcode using -static. It won't work b/c Apple has fucked-up ld. You can even compile a GNU GCC suite from xCode, but there is no way to get around the fucked-up ld. How stupid is that?

I still contend that ld is fucked-up... they have changed it.

Search your files for social security and credit card numbers before hackers do.
Apache, Perl, Python, Ruby, MySQL, etc... are ALL written in C or C++. What a stupid, uninformed claim to make!
