vi/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile or stable-supfile, whichever you want to update and just use these as examples. Very easy.
FreeBSD doesn't NEED hdparm because it automatically sets the hard drives to run as fast as they can.
FreeBSD can run Quake 3 and several other linux binaries.
and FreeBSD can be just as heavily optimized as linux... but in most cases it doesn't need to be because as long as you build your own custom kernel and get rid of drivers that you don't need, most things are ALREADY optimized.
About 5 years ago I worked at the National Cancer Institute, which is part of the NIH in the US. (Ft Detrick, Frederick, MD if you wanted to know) While I was there, my boss, (I was a labtech) did some analysis, and found out that a gene called CCR5 could be in people with a 32 base pair deletion. When this deletion was present from both the mother's chromosome and the father's, the person with the mutated form of the gene was basically immune to HIV even through repeated exposures. This was about 5 or 6 years ago, so I'd say OLD NEWS!
here's mine:
set prompt="%m:%~:%# "
it looks like this when you use it:
screwdriver:~:>
or as root:
screwdriver:~:#
or in some dir other than ur home dir:
screwdriver:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf:>
(tcsh)
Well, it'd be nice to be able to use this kind of thing on FreeBSD, but unfortunately, I have an nvidia geforce2 mx based bored, for which openGL isn't supported under FreeBSD. Damn nVidia, release the drivers' source!!!
in maryland, we already have to use 10 digit phone numbers here... we have to dial the area code for every number we dial, whether it's long distance or not... people need to stop whining b/c it's not that hard to remember 3 extra digits.
Well, I don't see why people think FreeBSD is so hard to get used to. I started my UNIX days on FreeBSD, and have never had a problem making anything work. It has been rock-solid for anything and everything I wanted to use it for. Nothing compares to the upgrade path (cvsup, make a kernel, make world, merge configs...) and nothing compares to the ports tree.... not even the apt system... And speed wise, I've tried out just about every linux dist out there... and was left wondering why it took so long to do certain things...(mainly just it's responsiveness is the thing that "got" me... FreeBSD just seemed more responsive... but that could be because the default install for almost every linux leaves way to many un-needed daemons running) Anyway, good job to the FreeBSD people.
HAs anybody tried KDE2's Konqerer (spelling?). I tried it and it's way better than IE or NS6 (or mozilla). Everything I tried actually worked... and I never could get it to crash... there were a few wierd little things that bothered me about it, like clicking on a file d/l link didn't d/l the file, but tried to display it, but that doesn't seem like a software bug, it seems more like someone forgot to put that MIME type somewhere as d/l instead of display. Every time I've used Mozilla, it has just crashed...
I noticed this too, those idiots at MS once again contradict themselves. I recently bought a Dell laptop and requested that they sell it to me without an OS... and they replied that they couldn't... that it HAS to have windows on it. I get the computer expecting it to come with a windows 98 SE CD, and what do I find? A stupid re-imaging CD... you boot the CD or something, and it automatically returns it to factory spec... UGH...
get the DVD-CCA bastards to write and license some Winblows DLL's or some linux shared libs, or some kind of other non-source format in library form for their encryption scheme, and then we could build an open source DVD player around that without "reverse engineering." Personally I'm tired of not being able to play DVD's on my PC (in FreeBSD) without rebooting to Winblows... I don't care what form the library comes in... open source or not.. I just wanna get rid of windows on my computer.

bsd doesn't suck, it's proven to be better than linux (or else yahoo, hotmail, cdrom, etc... would use linux, and besides the linux and BSD communities would be better off working together than posting flamebait like this). However, I do not wanna see anything MS ported to FreeBSD. That would pollute it too much.
Technically mp3's aren't an exact copy of the artists music. They get rid of sounds in the range that humans can't hear (And sometimes sounds we can here) to make the huge compression of the music possible.
I don't think Win2K is all that great... I can reliably make it crash through a various number of arbitrary network attacks. It may be good enough for the average user on his/her desktop, but I wouldn't call it great.

A lot of what you say is wrong:
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
for the ports tree:
vi
or stable-supfile, whichever you want to update

you guys should check out videolan for playing dvd's on linux. It supports encrypted DVD's, and plays subtitles too. check it out: www.videolan.org
well, That's more or less what I meant, but yeah, I'd just like 3d acceleration in FreeBSD.

they did that because 256K of FULL PROCESSOR SPEED cache increases performance more than 512K running at HALF PROCESSOR SPEED

Windows ME has a command shell, just doesn't have any "Pure DOS"
That's odd, I work at Ericsson, and we use FreeBSD for the product we're developing.

actually FreeBSD doesn't run of sparc servers. It runs on Alphas, and Intel, although I believe a sparc port is coming.
funny that you posted as an anonymous coward. Retard. FreeBSD is not in a "tailspin" as you call it. What the hell gave you that idea?
I say we make Bill Gates pay for part of the trip. :-)
