Wow! After reading your kind words I just can't wait to try Gentoo. I want to be your friend and run the same code as you since you are so kind and friendly.
If you've got a uniprocessor machine, and you're doing kernel-intensive work, youll probably want to recompile.
That's not a problem for me since I never use GENERIC kernels for any length of time but this clearly pushes FreeBSD away from the desktop even further.
How hard would it be to offer both an SMP and non-SMP GENERIC kernel and just mv the one you want into place?
Now if only the ARP interface could be improved too. Seems once the API for ARP was an ioctl() that was easy to use. Now try and write some code for *BSD to adjust the ARP table without going
system("/usr/sbin/arp...")
and you will see pretty quickly that it's much more complicated than any ioctl()
Conceptually, ARP table entries as routing table entries is great but the API is in need of some serious re-working or a library to hide the complexity.
(1) PROTECTION NOT EXTENDED- Subject to paragraph (2), protection under section 3 shall not extend to computer programs, including any computer program used in the manufacture, production, operation, or maintenance of a database, or to any element of a computer program necessary to its operation.
When does it stop being a bunch of facts and start being a computer program?
Would using lame code like echo fact 1 echo fact 2 etc. to store your facts as an executable program be enough to make the claim that it was a computer program.
But a PDP 11/20 was the first model made. DEC was only recently changing from a component manufacturer into a computer manufacturer. Naturally it was made from tons of cards plugged into a passive backplane.
There are plenty of PDP 11 models that have LSI and VLSI.
Not to mention that anyone can effectively have a PDP-11 or a VAX these days since there are many free emulators available.
What's best about C is that it is a software abstraction of a DEC PDP-11. Maybe you should get an old PDP-11 on Ebay and write assembler for that.
I did notice that the article mistakenly called the Altair a minicomputer. The PDP-11 is a minicomputer.
The Altair had the most intense fan base even if it was far from the biggest. You would never see someone living in a trailer in the parking lot of a factory for any other computer. Some guy did that so he could be the first Altair user.
And Russia: U.S. government-sponsored think tank, has identified five countries of strategic importance that have large populations at risk of HIV infection. Russia is one of those five, along with India, China, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
And India: India's hidden Aids epidemic: virus to infect 25m by 2010
If you try to cut price it'll be the support contracts that will kill you. Some of the $50/seat goes to pay for the support staff for the 200,000,000 users.

But that would make it:
1) get job as security guy
2) leave lots of holes that a scanner could pick up.
3) ???
4) Profit!
I know you aren't supposed to answer sigs but putting a question in a sig and then saying you can't answer it since it's a sig is harrasment.
That being said the reasons it might not be stealing when you download music include
With cable theft you've used it up the minute you steal it and can't throw it away or put it back or pay for it later.
FreeBSD committers are a bunch of *bleep*

Not super easy to find on google since there are so many other meanings for PTP.
The one you want is Picture Transfer Protocol.

What's funny to me is that if you google for "deficit" it all comes back "attention deficit". What irony.
If you want a "more friendly Freenet" you should know where to find one.
Everyone would use Linux if you could install it from inside Windows.
Everyone would use Linux if MicroSoft called it Windows.
Please dont kill me, i only have windows on them for my family, they complain too much about linux. I'll ease them onto it.
Tell them to get their own computer.

Study polio, a good old-fashioned DNA virus. Not one of these godfersaken, upstart RNA viruses.

All that and a thumbnail image of a man holding a gun to his foot. LOL!

Hand out the "___ is dying" and someone will do it to you.
How you can equate exporting math formulas with exporting machine guns is beyond me.
"math formulas" is a general topic while "machine guns" is very specific.
You might as well have said "How you can equate exporting math formulas with exporting metal tools is beyond me."
