Not all of them my friend. Most are too lame due to lack of food and exercise.
But then again, when youre pinned to a narrow cage where you dont even have enough room to turn around in for 3-4 years, death isnt that bad of an alternative.:)
I agree. If i could pick one installer to use for any OS or distribution, it would be OpenBSD's installer. Its so clean and simple. FreeBSD's kind of annoys me, as well as NetBSD's, although NetBSD's is probably my 2nd fav.
All the linux installers suck, hehe. Seriously, Id say the best installer for Linux is Debian, IF you know how to run it right. Second best is Slackware, but I still get confused on the tagfile part and have to stop and think for a second. Third is Gentoo because ITS ALL BY HAND! MWUAHAHA.
it may seem like a lot of money, but there are overheads, and some of the funding was also absorbed by upenn (that is how grants work when you involve a US university)
however, the grant only runs for about another 6 months.
CD sales are more important now than ever. He mentions that CD sales in the U.S. have been dropping as FTP installs have been rising. Any open-source project will take all the help they can get.
FreeBSD code is completely different than the other BSD's. OpenBSD's code is still very much like NetBSD's code, with some exceptions, so once it's working good on NetBSD, it should be fairly easy (to the seasoned OpenBSD developer) to port to OpenBSD.
well, technically they did, they just neglected to keep ALL copyright information in the source files. whether it was intentional or not, fact is a great project has gone down the tubes. unfortunate.
First of all, I'm 100% against any on-board chips, but the nForce isn't 'bad' for a first computer. From what I read, the memory bandwidth benched very high, and the audio benched very VERY well, but the gfx weren't so hot. I'd still take a Via KT266A anyday of the week over the nForce. And as far as the 4.2gig of memory bandwidth, although very nice on paper, doesnt really matter because 10 other things start to bottleneck. All in all, its a nice chip for manufacturers like Dell and IBM to start putting on their systems (as we all know, their integrated stuff SUCKS), but that's as far as I would go with it. I cant see the nForce taking off in the hardcore-user arena.
I'm using a T21 (courtesy of work), and I am impressed with it. It has a real BIOS (Phoenix BIOS), all the hardware is pretty much supported by Linux, *BSD, etc, and it can handle video games extremely well. Right now Im dual-booting Slackware and Win2k, and on my Win2k side I have Quake3, and I can run Q3 at 1024x768 at 16bpp no problem.:) Oh, did I mention DVD works flawlessly, even under Linux?:)
First of all, someone shouldn't be punished for the lack of encryption that adobe puts on their products. What would Adobe of have done if this information was released anonymously from the underground, and there wasn't anyone to point the finger at? The whole point, is that they are trying to make an example out of Dimitry, the same way they did with Mitnick.
And if you wrote a program to break into ATMs, of course it would get into the wrong hands. Guns get into the wrong hands all the time and they cause much more damage than Dimitry's program. Hmm.... I wonder why the US government is spending more time on foolish issues instead of taking care of the real problems?
Well, I for one am glad he is still in jail. Its good to see my hard-earned tax money going to a case about some kid who broke some weak encryption on PDF's, instead of going after drug smugglers, child molesters, and things of such nature.
Wonderfully written. That pretty much sums up why you haven't seen this case in the media _at all_, except for maybe public access shows.
This reminds me of the Mitnick case.. why would any news execs care about some hacker who is locked up, especially since most execs have a very negative opinion of hackers (directly related to being misinformed).
Pardon my french.. but fuck corporate america. The only thing free about america is the oxygen.. but it wouldn't surprise me if they started taxing that too.
I think it's about time we start an OpenNEWS station.:)
Yeah, no shit. They obviously have _no idea_ what KIllustrator is all about..
1) Destroy killustrator? HA. Let them _try_ to destroy every copy of Killustrator ever made.
2) Name every KIllustrator user? First of all, fuck that. They have no legal bounds to get names of people using a product. Thats horse shit. Not to mention... *IMPOSSIBLE*.
3) This question should be the easiest.. $0.00 in _any_ currency (EU, USD, peso's, ruples, etc..)
So what gives them the right to shit on a developer that codes in his free time and gives a great product for free? If it wasnt for competition, we wouldnt advance at all (ie AMD vs. Intel -- once the gig processor came out, Intel "all of a sudden" discovered how to do it too).
I really wish people like you would just drop off the face of the earth. Quit blaming Theo's lack of diplomacy, or attititude, or whatever you trolls call it. I dont know how many times I have said this.. but the whole reason OpenBSD was because people on the NetBSD was more concerned with politics than code. If you want a sensitive, in-touch-with-your-feelings spokesperson, perhaps you can check out a candle store or body bath store.

or how about *BSD, since Im sure porting to the other BSD's would be trivial...
uhm... why is this wierd? Do you realize how many LINUX ONLY hooks gnome has? talk to the developers of GNOME that arent using POSIX.1 compliant functions instead of blaming OpenBSD.
In the aricle, the author says NetBSD runs on 10 different architectures, when in fact its a little closer to 20.
I may be wrong on this, but I could've _sworn_ Apple used FreeBSD as the core for OS X.
He makes mention of the 'ports' section, when in fact it's called packages instead (pkgsrc). This is obviously not to confuse ported software with ported architechtures.
The author also says that NetBSD has no SMP support, although SMP on the Alpha has been working for about a month now.
All in all, the article was not bad. A little generic, but it did touch upon a few good points, like mentoning that NetBSD had the first full ipv6 implementation. I give it 3 stars out of 5.
Reacted badly? What were they supposed to do? Darren Reed changed his license to something that conflicted with OpenBSD's licensing! The best part about OpenBSD (and Theo) is that they cut through the bullshit and politics. I bet we get a response from Darren a lot sooner now that OpenBSD has made this move.
Well, considering Todd Fries (an OpenBSD developer) registered OpenIPF.[com|net|org] a few days ago, my guess is that the OpenBSD team will take the last 'free' release of IPF and turn it into a project similar to OpenSSH (and how many people use OpenSSH now?). Very interesting.

Get it before it's taken down forever. Other mirrors have already taken theirs down.
good, then dont run PF on your firewall, after all, it's only developed by the same people that bring you OpenBSD, so why should you trust it, right?

Can someone wget it and post it in a gzip or zip format on their website?

Frankly I like that there are 2 efforts going on. Maybe one will succeed.
A brilliant commentary by Mr. Taco. Thank you sir, for gleaming such insight upon us inferior souls.

So compared to that caesar cipher he was talking about, 40-bit encryption isnt considered strong?

they didnt necessarily reject them, they just decided to go with BSD authentication instead, which looks a lot better.

Gee, thats funny, last I checked you could get OpenBSD for only $30 ;)
