    Well a process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie

    Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke
    I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke

    There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
    The young men like their money and they all come back for more
    But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should
    For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood

    from the OpenBSD FAQ:

    3.3 - Does OpenBSD provide an ISO image for download?
    Starting with OpenBSD 4.2, for select platforms, yes!

    Users of the alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, macppc, sparc and sparc64 platforms can now download and install ISO image which can be used to create a CD-ROM that can boot and install all of OpenBSD.

    Note, this ISO is not the same as the official CD set. These images are for single platforms, and do not include any of the pre-compiled packages, stickers, or artwork that the official CD set does.

    As before, however, ISO file installation is NOT the optimum installation method for many people. It is still usually faster and simpler to download the boot media and then install just the portions needed. However, for those who wish to do a number of installations, or can not figure out how to drop ten files on a CD-ROM or set up a local FTP server, ISOs are available.

    The OpenBSD project does not make the ISO images used to master the official CDs available for download. The reason is simply that we would like you to buy the CD sets to help fund ongoing OpenBSD development. The official OpenBSD CD-ROM layout is copyright Theo de Raadt. Theo does not permit people to redistribute images of the official OpenBSD CDs. As an incentive for people to buy the CD set, some extras are included in the package as well (artwork, stickers etc).

    Note that only the CD layout is copyrighted, OpenBSD itself is free. Nothing precludes someone else from downloading OpenBSD and making their own CD.

    For those that need a bootable CD for their system, bootdisk ISO images (named cd45.iso) are available for a number of platforms which will then permit the rest of the system to be installed via FTP. These ISO images are only a few megabytes in size, and contain just the installation tools, not the actual file sets.

    I didn't say the rules made sense, I'm just pointing out that "presumption of innocence" and publication bans are for criminal law, not civil - it's apples and oranges.

    How very serendipitous for Microsoft, people now have a reason to upgrade from XP.

    It doesn't hurt anyone if a few really sophisticated developers roll their own really efficient threading in a few apps.

    The idea here is for every 2-bit Mac developer to have idiot-proof threading at their fingertips, so even trivial apps are multithreaded, which means less time with your CPU meter stuck at 50% or 25% or whatever.
