Umm, but that wouldn't teach him a lesson. He'd like it, wouldn't he??? I mean somebody can't possibly get an asshole that big unless he liked stuff up it...
I too have great respect for the A series. Mine has been through everying yours has. The only difference on mine is that it actually has some scratches, but its nothing a couple of OpenBSD stickers didn't fix.:-)
Firewire has a SUSTAINABLE rate of 400 Mbps. USB 2.0 has a MAXIMUM rate of 480, but as usual, in practice its a lot less. The whole USB 2.0 thing really is a sham (its a shame really).
At first that sounds like a great idea, but think about it. Who in their right minds would pay for ads that don't come up until most people are away from their computer???
You can packet storm the switch with tons and tons of mac addresses. eventually the switch won't know where to forward packets because its database will be overflowed. The switch will then drop down to a sort of "hub mode".
For some reason this attack is common in college dormatories.;-)
NetBSD's SMP is not yet very mature. The reason for the slow SMP development is that none of the main developers are working on it. Theo said that his main priority right now is geting more crypto cards working. He has said that he would like to work more on SMP, but he isn't god and he just doesn't have time.
All good things come to those who wait. When SMP does come to OpenBSD, it will be done right and we will get stable, secure code for it!
yup, its free that runs on only x86 and alpha, though they have ultrasparc and PPC ports in the works. Remember, Open came off NetBSD's codebase, and when theo took it after he left, he took many of the more practical archs.
When theo was with NetBSD he was the maintainer of the sparc port! There is talk of Open abandoning some of the older archs, though. Such as the older 68K's, the older HP archs, and such. They take up space on the CDs, plus SSH doesn't work very fast on them, either;-)
It runs on it very well, check out Brad's computer. He goes to our local BSD user's group and I saw him recompiling a kernel on it. He says there were initially a few hickups but now that more and more developers are getting tibooks its getting better every day. As more and more macs are bought by people, support is only going to get better. OpenBSD has had a PPC port for quite awhile now.
Brad also said that its only a matter of time before PPC replaces sparc as the second best supported platform (after x86 of course) because so many more people have them.
There is such a thing as shielded Twisted Pair (Cat5). Though people rarely impliment it properly. They forget (actually, they probably don't know) that you have to ground the shield in order to properly shield the inside wires.
I too had a similar experieance, but my last name begins with an H.
what my dept did was assign first minus one letter as neccessary (fucked up, i know). I, too, got Christ.
How the hell are you going to get the person to change their default gateway? Its nearly impossible to get this, especially if you are on an internal network.
You can still find good HP-UX/PA-RISC and Alpha workstations. Even though they are both supposedly architectures that are heading to that great recycle bin in the sky. Some of the HP machines are really neat, and you never hear much about them because SUN pretty much owned the market. I'm not 100% sure on IBM machines, but their PowerPC chips are quite different to the ones you find in Apple boxen. You may want to take a look on ebay or wherever else you can get this kind of stuff.
I also forgot to mention that Theo has said on many occasions that you can grab the OpenBSD files from the FTP (or whatever) site and make bootable CDs from them.
But it doesn't matter, we are preaching the gospel to a deamon when it comes to explaining these things to gnu people.
omfg, listen to yourself. You are a complete FSF hoar (the fact that you say the full "Debian GNU/Linux or capitalize free software enhances my judgement of this fact). You want to share among friends? Lend the CD to them. OpenBSD is not hurting themselves with this layout copyright. Because the people who wish to support them buy the CDs and the people who simply cannot afford it do FTP installs and accept the fact that they can't have cool stickers on their laptops or monitors.
OpenBSD is free. Not this free as in speech or beer RMS bullshit, but free as in no money and you can do what you please with it. If you cannot understand this then we don't want you as part of our community anyways.
Responding to those BSD is dying posts only encourages them. All they want (even as ACs or usered modded down to -1) is attention that their mommies and daddies never gave them. I'm not sure if Theo ever really did say that there were 7000 users, but even if he did, that figure is long ago dated.
The logic they use is flawed by using usenet posts. Take their BSD/OS theory. There are so few usenet posts for it because most users of BSD/OS are full UNIX administrators and don't need much help. I can tell you, there are more than 700 users of BSD/OS...even if you count only 1 per organization that uses it and ignores multiple servers. BSD/OS is/was an extremely popular UNIX in the early to mid days of the internet, especially for medium and small ISPs.
The regular OpenBSD releases are nice. You get three CDs, a geeky audio track, stickers (nice artwork, BTW), and a nice, stable, secure OS. Can't afford $60? Well then just FTP install the damn thing, and if you can't do that, well you shouldn't be using OpenBSD, then. The official CDs are there to only support the project and nothing more.
Its also not exactly hard to make bootable CDs. Theo copyrighted the layout and only forbad SELLING OpenBSD CDs. He never said you and your buds can't make their own and give away copies.

I'll add the "obligatory" "Why don't you both just SHUT THE FUCK UP?!"
Don't knock Mir, it lasted FAR longer than its origional expected lifetime (which was something like 3 years). How long did Skylab stay up?
Not funny.

We make it up with our beer (which has more alcohol). So stop crying.

its not freeBSD stupid. Its Mach kernel with freebsd extentions.

Same goes for Cisco. Nortel used to do this, but then the suits totally took over the company...
I believe Oracle has also made a complete exchange-like server that fools outlook as well, but its probably expenive as sin...

but these gravity theories apply mostly to matter, don't they? how does this apply to time and other "variables"?
