... So he's using his powers of editorial control to post an editorial about his views on a candidate.
And many of us agree with him and appreciate seeing them. I think he could have given equal time to dissing Al too though.
There isn't a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. Never fear though, if somehow the Bush political machine manages to foul up GWBJ's bought and paid-for presidency we'll have to suffer Jeb soon enough.
I suppose he's next anyway; never thought I'd be longing for Dan Quayle. Potatoe.

It's important to remember that FreeBSD's support of Linux applications is not an emulation in the classic sense but rather an ABI implementation
As things stand today {Net,Free,Open}BSD seem much more stable and useful for their intended purposes than Java (and we haven't suffered a tenth of the hype produced by the Javaniks).
It wouldn't be the end of the world if native ports were never released.
Many *BSD users don't use the ISO's and consider downloading them with each release a shameful abuse of network bandwidth. It's really not necessary to download ISO's. The binary installations provide one with everything needed to bootstrap and regenerate ISO's locally from source. In the time it took you to download the Slack ISO image I can generate three different FreeBSD ISO's locally building from source code with about a tenth of the network usage.
The thing that excites me most about the release of Plan9 is the inclusion of Ken Thompson's C compiler suites. Although GCC has served well, it's gotten pretty crufty over the years. I'm hoping that this release from the master might someday provide alternative compilers for the open source community.
What you fail to recognize is that for all practical purposes the contemporary BSD License *is* a public domain license, with the exception of the two clauses which indemnify the author(s) and prohibit removal of the indemnification.
Microsoft had (has?) Dave Cutler instead of the source code to VMS. I suppose that is some sort of substitute. Didn't seem to help the end product much though.

Ok, misinformation then :)
> hm, i just found it, they indeed used 9000 byte MTU
Sorry, I didn't read it that way at all. Please get your FUD and misinformation straight.
Shuddup Jerry.

There was an article in Barron's Financial Weekly a few years ago detailing exactly this phenomenon.

why not? most companies f*ck their employees
yikes

It's often referred to as "reconfigurable computing"
For those non-freebsd (gasp!) users who'd like to try CVSup, there are binaries for several platforms available at ftp://postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/
It's truly a marvelous tool. Thanks John Polstra!
