No, it was done in two weeks. *You* should read the article. Originally, he tested 1.6.1. He then went on to test -current. Two weeks later he was asked to test -current again after updating.
I hardly see that as a horror story. In my experience, the HR dept run what the HR dept wants to run (guess). The backbone of the organisation may very well be open source, but it's HR that do the employing.
I don't get it - what do OpenBSD's distribution servers have to do with SMB? What does windows filesharing have to do with OpenBSD distribution?
Or did you mean SMP, or more correctly, MP? Well, the good news for OpenBSD is that now that NetBSD has MP support in -current, OpenBSD will have a much easier time, if Theo can be convinced.
That's a nice hack indeed. Now let us look at a better solution from NetBSD (only in -current at this stage, will be part of 1.7/2.0, whichever it ends up being called):
... dumped all of their UNIX machines in computer science and bought new Windows labs about 3 years ago. I know, because I was there starting the undergrad. As of March, they claimed the course was not going to change at all - by November they had dropped such "obselete" subjects like Algorithms and Data Structures and picked up crap to do with web applications nobody will even remember in 2 years (it's been three and I have no clue). I was disgusted by their sellout, and moved to another, UNIX oriented University (University of New England), where each undergrad (I was external) is *required* to install Linux or another UNIX/UNIX like OS in first year, and all assignments from the very first are submitted on a Linux machine, where they must compile properly (I develop on NetBSD, but never had any issues at that level compiling and submitting on the Linux machine).
Fuck UQ and their sellout for the almighty buck. If that is not what is was, I apologise, but it sure looked just like that from where I was at the time. I feel for the academics caught in the middle of it all.
that is left as an exercise to the reader. but if you don't know any better ( which you obviously don't )
oh, but I do. If you can't provide benchmarks, you can't back up such a ridiculous claim.
looking at the ports available for FreeBSD i'm gonna have to say they did some things to hurt the portability ( assembly somewhere? ) yet give it some speed advantages.
Well, you'd be wrong again. Point me to the FreeBSD assembly code you think exists that makes it so much faster than NetBSD, and stop speaking out of your arse. I don't want your opinions, as I said in my original post, I want benchmarks.
The Slashdot Effect, whereby a shitload of webusers on a shitload of geographically separate machines all attempt to access one poor little webserver, more often than not apparently running on a Commodore 64 with the submitter playing Ghosts and Goblins in the background. The result is nearly always total overload and screaming admins who often will drink steadily for several days following the incident, costing taxpayers millions across any given year in rehabilitation of suddenly alcoholic tech gurus.
The Pitch Drop Experiment.
If you check the site out, you will even find a live RealVideo stream of the pitch.
Pitch (a derivative of tar once used for waterproofing boats) feels solid at room temperature, and it can easily be shattered with a blow from a hammer. However, at room temperature it is actually fluid.
Quoting from the website:
"In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into glass funnel with a sealed stem. Three years were allowed for the pitch to settle, and in 1930 the sealed stem was cut. From that date on the pitch has slowly dripped out of the funnel - so slowly that now, 72 years later, the eighth drop is only just about to fall."
You have to do the same two lines for bat, pif and scr (put them where the above two lines say exe) I could not paste them all due to the lameness filter telling me to use less junk characters.
You could always look at the date they were posted, in most cases - especially true of the bigger sites. Seeing "April 1st" as the date of some article should stick out like a sore thumb.
From the article: Blood Wake, Microsoft's attempt to spread the popular car kombat genre to boats, has some of the best-looking skies ever to appear in a game.
Just like the pretty sky background in XP was the best reason to upgrade from 2K, we all need an Xbox now... actually physically going outside is so 90's!

Sure, I'd love to actually *see* it first and not some blurry stills, before I decide it is funny. However, it seems, we are not worthy.
No, it was done in two weeks. *You* should read the article. Originally, he tested 1.6.1. He then went on to test -current. Two weeks later he was asked to test -current again after updating.
NetBSD already moved to dynamic root and /rescue earlier this year.
I hardly see that as a horror story. In my experience, the HR dept run what the HR dept wants to run (guess). The backbone of the organisation may very well be open source, but it's HR that do the employing.

Summernats Sound Off Entrant
The interesting thing is here that he has his windscreen strapped on, due to the extreme volume shifting the air in the cabin enough to dislodge it.
Yes, for raw power and number crunching, the PC edges out...
You might want to look at some of the RC5 benchmarks sometime if you believe that:
PC speeds
Mac speeds
For the time impaired, here's an example (reformatted by me, using results for your listed machines):
AMD K7 Athlon Thunderbird 1650 MHz Speed = 5,847,268
Power PC 7450/7455 G4 1000 MHz Speed = 10,525,403
That's a nice hack indeed. Now let us look at a better solution from NetBSD (only in -current at this stage, will be part of 1.7/2.0, whichever it ends up being called):
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi/man?cgd+4+Net BSD-current.
and the config utility:

That's why NetBSD is generally slower than FreeBSD
Oh boy I hope you have some hard data to back that claim up!
