Nice try... Just because that's the direction it's naturally moving doesn't mean that the universe is "longing" for anything... Look up anthropomorphize sometime soon.
Yep. The Linux emulation layer of FreeBSD is so complete, and a (small) number of 3d cards have 3d drivers for FreeBSD, that Q3A is quite playable under FreeBSD.
Does no one remember the shortlived series "Thundarr the Barbarian"?
The year, 1994. From out of space, comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the
moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man's civilization is cast in ruin. Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old. A world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice. With his companions, Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword, against the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!
But you can't apply a general rule like that to all situations... Sometimes releasing a patch shortly after the last release is a good thing, and sometimes it's an indicator of the earlier release being bad.
Frankly, 2.4.0 is quite stable for me. However, 2.4.1 adds some functionality that I want, therefore I consider this quick release, a good thing.
I tried it from two different sites to see. Sorry.
Apology accepted... I've tried it from three separate networks, with three separate nameservers... None of which can look up www.msdn.microsoft.com. Yet a fourth nameserver can... Why? Because it's cached.
You didn't read the speach, did you? Nor, apparently, did you even read the full Slashdot intro that was given... If you had, you would have realized that this is simply a desktop for X, not a whole new windowing system.
Too bad you're a moron... Every communitty has standards, and the SC has already ruled on what is considered obscenity... Like it or not, that's the rule of the land and if you don't like it then GO THE FUCK AWAY!
It seems to me everyone is assuming that his site isn't, in fact, obscene without first hand knowledge about the site in question... Why is that? How did this even make it as a news item here? Why not wait till the facts are in before we start bitching about how his rights were infringed?

Hate to break it to you, but code has no feelings or desires. It doesn't care if it's free or not.
Ranessin
ahhh....but can it play Quake?
Yes
And who does Loki align itself with when they develop stuff?
BSD, of course

If you don't see how they were serving all of society, I feel very sorry for you.
Ranessin
And I disagree... Whenever someone gives their life in the service of others, I consider it a tragedy.
Ranessin
On the contrary, it's always a tragedy.

This is one of the most tasteless things I've ever seen on Slashdot. Making fun of the death of those brave souls is in incredibly bad taste.

Only because your DNS has it cached.
Ranessin
Only because your DNS has it cached... It is down.
Ranessin
Your DNS probably has the others cached... They most assuredly are down.

Your DNS most likely has microsoft.com cached.

And as citizens of this republic, we shouldn't have to go away to avoid something that violates the law as Tri0de suggested, though, now should we?
Ranessin
That renders it legal by the Suprem Court's definition.
But if it violates other laws, such as obscenity laws, it's no longer protected. Again, being a parody does not mean it's not obscene.
Ranessin
Too bad you're a moron... Every communitty has standards, and the SC has already ruled on what is considered obscenity... Like it or not, that's the rule of the land and if you don't like it then GO THE FUCK AWAY!
Ranessin
How can a site protesting a government entity (police) be obscene by the Supreme Court's definitions? It can't be.
Why not? What makes parody and obscenity mutually exclusive?
Ranessin
It seems to me everyone is assuming that his site isn't, in fact, obscene without first hand knowledge about the site in question... Why is that? How did this even make it as a news item here? Why not wait till the facts are in before we start bitching about how his rights were infringed?

I have read the kernel source... And you still have no idea what you're talking about.
