OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of
OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The
number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly
in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400
NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the
volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent
of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 =
36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of
FreeBSD Usenet posts.
This clown is completely full of shit. He has posted the SAME post
23 time in this thread. Is this a loser or what? I run the
BSD counter page. It is still a
work in progress and has not been advertised much but at the moment I have
43,013 verified FreeBSD users in my database. This loser, in demonstrating that he failed
statistics, says there are no more than 36,400 FreeBSD users. My count
also does not include the BSDi, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or OsX users. And given that
*BSD is more a server OS than Linux the count of machines running *BSD is
going to be much higher than Linux.
For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Dead, my kosher ass! Run along, little boy, and annoy someone else.

Contary to what Josef Gobels said and what you believe, a lie repeated over and over again does not make it true.
I run the BsdCounter page. It is still a work in progress but I currently have 42,808 FreeBSD users in the
database. That's 42,808 verified users. While re-working this site I had to
tossed a couple of thousand users that I could not verify ie. bogus or dead
email address. IF that 42,808 users represent only 1% of the FreeBSD users
then that means there are over 4 million users of FreeBSD. That count does
not include all the users of BSDi, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. That count also
does not take into consideration the numbers of machines running *BSD. The
BSD's are more server orientated than Linux which is more desktop
orientated. So while my current count is of *BSD users, the count *BSD machines is most likley to be much higher.
"*BSD is dead", my kosher ass. Run along, little boy, and annoy someone
else.
Great! A manned mission to Alpha Centauri! We'll finally get to force those damn editors of
the Hitchhikers Guide to moderate our review from 'Mostly Harmless' to 'Mostly Mindless to the point of Sheer Hardheaded Ignorance, Vogon style'.
I vote that they change 'Mostly Harmless' to 'Dumber than dirt.'
You don't need to be Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Blah, Blah, Blah. Yea, fuck off, junior.

Re:Louis Armstrong, Jazz Musician, dead at 71
on
The Superior Motif?

· Score: 1
Louis Armstrong, trumpet player and Jazz pioneer, died yesterday morning in his Los Angelos home. He
was 71. Armstrong's last performance was at James Madison University's Convocation Center on March
24, 2001, where he played to a standing room only 5,000. Armstrong was helped off the stage by his wife of
20 years, and he later told a report for the campus newspaper "I don't know how much longer I can do this.
This may be one of my last shows." His final song was his biggest hit, Hello Dolly! He is survived by his wife
and 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
BZZZZZ! Wrong answer. The Great Louis Armstrong died on July 6th, 1971 at his home in Queens, NY.
she may have been mouthing off to the police officer, or resisting in other ways
So, in you opinion, it's ok to throw someone in jail for talking back, is that correct. Which fascist country do you live in? If you live in this police state wanna be please tell me you are not studying law. I hate have to go into a voting booth in 15 years and find your name on a ballot.
How the fuck is this propoganda informative. Dumbass moderators should read the other stories on that page. All kinds of conspiracy crap, sounds like a mix of right wing militia types and left-wing potheads. Go ahead mod me down, won't hurt me any. You'll run out of mod points before I lose the ability to post
Yea, that's right, shit-head. Go stick your head in the sand. They are not after you. You have nothing to hide. It's all been made up by left-wing potheads. That right, open another beer, watch some more TV. It's all bread and circuses. When the day comes when you are standing in front of a gate trying to figure out what "Arbeit Macht Frei" means then you will know we were not kidding. And you are not allowed to have a surprised look on your face.
I thought the FBI was for the good of the people, I can see why the CIA would do something like this, but why the FBI? I know, I know, expect nothing that is logicial out of the U.S. government.
You are fooling yourself. Use your favorite search engine and look up the word "COINTELPRO" and then come back and tell us you have nothing to fear and the FBI "was for the good of the people"
You mean the third world welfare treaty? Yes, let's punish developed countries and use their money to subsidize third world socialists
Yes! Damn Right! We're Capitalists. Global warming is a myth invented by jewish scientists so they can get more funding for further "study". Rising sea levels is just socialist propaganda. This whole thing was madeup by those damn tree-huggers who want to destroy American busniess. They want us all living in caves, eating roots and berrys.
Oh, and by the way, I hope you don't plan on moving to LA or Miami any time in the future. It's hard to sell a house when it's under water.
P.S. Try looking past the end of your nose for a change.
I tip my hat to Ellen in her success in setting this precedent in California as it may also help in getting anti-spamming laws passed and enforced elsewhere in the future!
Agree! If I ever meet Ellen and her husband I'll buy them a beer. I am a partner in a small ISP in Berkeley. We get thousands of spams a day. Thanks to Ellen we now have case-law to use against these bozos. Look out Mr. "Increase the size of your dick". Your days are numbered.
I admit that it's disturbing that a company is giving away my personal information like this, essentially providing the means for the government to track my movements. But I don't personally see it as a huge problem. I've done nothing illegal. The government has no reason to be paying any attention to me. If it helps get criminals off the streets, I'm okay with it, and I suspect most people will be.
Sir, you are a fool. If you think that the FBI and the DEA only go after the "criminals" (You are assuming that your definition of criminal and their definition is the same) and leave the innocent alone then you are extremely naive. Look up the word "COINTELPRO" in any search engine and then tell us you have nothing to fear from this goverment.
Now everybody and their mother will start screaming about NSA hiding "backdoors" to PGP. Remember, you being a paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
You are a fool to trust this goverment. Look up the word "contelpro" in any search engine and then tell us you have nothing to fear and the goverment will never trample on your rights. Wake up! Your rights are almost gone.
I was one of the many people who wrote BBS software in the 80s. Almost all of us
had configurable online voting booths or polls available. I'll be happy to post source
which predates their patent by at least 10 years.
IIRC, the Wildcat BBS had a poll system built in as did a number of commercial BBS packages.
Our laws are not set in stone. They are shaped and changed as necessary according to legal precedents and new legislation. In the US, the best way to eliminate this kind of legalized extortion is through your legislative representation. As far as I can tell every other country has similar issues and similar methods for resolving them.
Nice theory but a little reality now.
America is a capitalist country. Which means; those with capital rule and those without are stuck holding the bag and are covered in shit. Case in point. Congress just passed legislation that will totally revamp the bankruptcy laws. Now ask yourself, how many people do you know were demanding this new law? Not many I would guess. This law was purchased by the banks and credit card company's. The same could be said of NAFTA.
My point here is that the way our capitalist society is working seems to be at odds with a democratic society. Now, all you people who are jumping up and down about how this is a republic can just sit down. Either way, democracy or republic, the ability of a small group to purchase laws that benefit them to the detriment of all others seems not to be what the founding fathers had in mind.
I believe there are database packages (I've worked w/one in Oracle) that have the
sales tax for every zipcode in the country. They update it every month or so.
There are a number of companies that sell this information in comma delimited record format. I remember buying this information for a contract I did several years ago. Go to goggle.com and search for "zip codes". If I remember right it cost me $495.00
I'm also not worried: I don't live in California. Nobody here in the midwest that I
know of is worried about their company going under because of some 23 year old
proto-CEO not having the experience to handle his/her millions in startup cash.
That is today. Fast forward 6 months to 18 months. After George "The Thief" Bush get his "Welfare for the rich" tax cut signed into law we a going to have a real ression. This is not a ression yet. A ression is 2 consecutive quarters of negitive growth. Last quarter was not quite a zero growth.
So wipe that smirk off your face and kiss my kosher ass. Your next to get this ression.
Well, that too but Billy Gates and "butt munch" Balmer have looked up and noticed that they have lost. Not today, not tommorow but 2 to 4 years down the road microsoft will be down to 50% of the desktop and they will have no presence in the server room. And they can't stop it. Linux and *BSD are taking over. They are just trying to line up microsoft to still be in business when this all comes down.
You should always have a Plan B. You never know what is going to happen. If I lose my job today I know at least three companies where I can get a job at. This is why you always prepare for the worst.
Agree!
I have been contracting for over 15 years and in that time I have learned, the hard way, the following
Always assume the worst.
Stay current with all your bills
Never carry a balance on your credit cards. If you must, never more than 3 payments to a $0.00 balance
Live below you means
Keep 6 months worth of your salery in a savings account. Never touch it until you get the sack
Keep your resume up to date
Stay on friendly terms with the head hunter even if they are scum
Never burn bridges
Looking for a job is a full time job. Treat it as such
Hey, it's your funeral. Maybe you forgot that we whites are the ones with the money, guns, and power?
That is not what your inbred, trailer trash, nazi friends keep posting. They keep saying us Jews control everything. The banks, the media, Hollywood, everything. Answer me this, nazi boy. If we Jews own everything then how come I'm driving a 3 year old Honda instead of a brand new Porsche. Maybe I should go down to the Porsche dealer Monday, whip out my Jew id card, you know the one that the international Jewish cabal gave me, and demand my new Porsche.
Here's a simple fact: if the FBI and NSA stopped their eavesdropping activities
today, hundreds if not thousands of people worldwide would be in immediate physical danger beginning tomorrow. If you have facts to the contrary, I'd be happy to hear them.
Very interesting. Can you supply us with proof of your point? If not, then you are just talking out your ass.
And by the way, the NSA requires approval from the attorney general to collect information on US soil, whether it involves US citizens or not.
Yes, the FBI and the NSA would never do anything illeagle. They have always kept within the law. Is this your point? Try doing a web search for the word "COINTELPRO". Then come back and tell us you have nothing to fear from this goverment.
Now, Ive submitted info to CDDB before, so they can make money off of my time now? I say no. [Its my time because i had to type in the names, etc. ] I dont like this....
As did I. I must have submitted information for close to 100 CD. I did not get paid. I thought I was donating my time to a free effort. My normal rate on a contract basis is $125.00 per hour with a 4 hour minumim. I think we should get a class action law suit going for back pay.
