The most effective system would probably be to just remove the distributor cap, or a kludge to disconnect the battery easily. No car thief is gonna spend time under the hood finding out why the car won't start. Of course, you get bit on convienence issues. But you'll never have to concern yourself with car theft.
LOL, thats an interesting assesment. At a local car show I was near the security booth when one man came to report his 1969 camaro was stolen and he couldn't figure out how it was stolen since he had the rotor out of the distributor in his pocket. Literally within 5 minutes another man came in to report that someone stole the rotor out of the distributor on his chevy truck.
If theifs want it, they will take it. They are resourceful and will spend some time under the hood.
I did not say that FreeBsd or any other BSD did not have usb until FreeBSD hit 4.1. If thats the way it came across, I'm sorry, but what I mean is that when _I_ installed FreeBSD 4.1 my usb keyboard and mouse were not configured in the installation and could not be used for the installation.
IMHO if you can't install on the hardware that you're acctually going to run a OS on then there is a problem. I am using FreeBSD 4.1 with my usb keyboard and mouse, but I couldn't install with them. Installation had to be done with my old ps/2 stuff. Untill I can throw my old ps/2 keyboard and mouse out then and still install and use FreeBSD then I will continue to consider their usb support incomplete and lacking.
Yes, FreeBSD does have usb, but its (as of 4.1) not as clean as RedHat 7.0, with FreeBSD, I had to install with my old atx keyboard because my mac usb keyboard kept getting disconnected by FreeBSD and leaving me somewhat stranded. With my new usb mouse I had to do post-install configuration to get it to work, the installer wouldn't recognize it.
When I installed RedHat 7.0 my usb keyboard and mouse were detected during startup and I used them to install the OS.
So does FreeBSD have usb support, Yes. Is it as clean and complete as it should be, not yet.
I must say that I have trouble sharing your view point of all this work being useless.
If we forget for a minute that the primary motive of all this work is to build a secure OS, lets see what else this programing style achieves. First off their approach is to fix implementation errors and remove poor programing in order to achieve their security. So not only are they building a secure OS, but it will lead to a well designed and stable OS. I must say that I wish more software was built with this rigorous testing and auditing. PC's have been around for pretty much 20 years now and in that time the philosophy of "if it works its good enough" has yet to bring us a robust and stable OS. I think that this style of testing and system approach is long over-due. Thanks OBSD.
I must say that I have to disagree with you on this. For anyone to keep track of all of those servers to keep them in their resolve.conf file would be quite the nightmare. Given that few people would resort to this means that none of the tlds will go much farther than a small select group of people. I would have to say that if the expanse of the tld you create is your group of friends you might as well be handing out your ip because that would be the only way most people could find you. Also none of the domains would have many more than a few sub-domains for 2 reasons.
First is that these amature severs would likely be bandwidth limited enough that if many domains were hosted the pipeline to the server would buckle under the load and then all those sites would be effectively unreachable.
Second, who would provide free use of their servers to host a sub-domain? Probably not anyone that would tolerate heavy use of the bandwidth to provide this service. Well then you could charge people for the use of your domain and server, but who would pay. A common domain really isn't that much money and anyone with a net connection can find them. To get to the alternet domain the subscriber needs to tell people not only the domain, but also how to connect to your server to use the domain. I doubt many people would pay for that pain.
Also you mention mirroring through yahoo.com, but how would yahoo find them. I suppose that yahoo could provide a form to submitt the ips of the servers you want to add to the service and then send a spider to cache all the pages hanging off that server, but would this really remove controll from ICANN? ICANN is still guiding the users to yahoo.com and the users never acctually use the pirate domain system as the sites would only appear as pages below yahoo.com. I somehow doubt that this would be the way to challenge ICANN. If someone where to launch a priate domain system then there would have to be a well organized plan and group behind it which would be able to supplant ICANN before ICANN would be messing their pants.

Of course you wouldn't actually call. You practice emergency routes and plans so you know where you need to be to do what you have to do.
