It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying
One more crippling
bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD
market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of
all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states
that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've
known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by
failing dead last [samag.com]
in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to
be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] 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.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having
lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time
FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point
more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's
keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
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.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out
of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI
is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major
surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and
its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will
be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle
could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
should be arrested and tried for treason along with everyone else advocating free speech. Freedom must be brought, not given. Anyone who perverts the first admendment like these judges should be sent to Afghanistan and nuked along with the other anti-capitalists.
Jesus, stop giving sue-happy neurotics ideas on who to sue. We know that you are the ones giving them these ideas because they certainly do not have the intelligence or coordination to come up with these ideas themselves. Next time, why don't you "predict" their sueing/. for helping in the piracy network. Geeeeez
No you're missing the phucking point. Corporations have every right to fuck up any goddamn country they want to. This is based on the principle that they own a government that can fucking nuke any country who tries to resist their rape. We know perfectly well that the most sucessful entities are those who don't give a rat's ass about anything other than propergating themselves (look at the homeless, virii, trolls,....). We would be better off if one monolithic corporation were to make the most of the human population into their slaves while the the owners fuck their 72 black eye'ed virgins. Liberals like you should be fucked just like those virgins because you think that people should deserve "equality". How about a nuke in your ass to show you how equal you are with everyone else?
They should bomb you just as if you were bin Laden himself. It's people like you who allow terrorists to hijack our planes and spread smallpox everywhere. I hope the FBI "accidentally" kills you in their treason arrest. Go to hell where bin Laden and Allah are.
And exactly how would they encrypt something with that composite? You would need to have both factors in order to compute the public and private exponents (through the Euler totient function), and I believe that RSA burned the hard drive with the factors on it. Unless they ran those factors through a key generator, I doubt that anybody can sue you for trying:-)

Would you call assembly open-source? I think not.

Hollow with a crappy facade that reflects the true face of its creator. No wait, what was I trying to describe again?

Why don't they just gang bang their mothers? That will save our energy, and cum.
Why don't you /. www.goatse.cx next time. geeeez.
But can it hold hte goatse.cx man's ass open?
www.goatse.cx is a great graphical interface you guys.
