Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraftsurvey 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 further exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin 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.
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 hobbyist 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.
You, sir, have been trolled. Protesters are the trolls of society, they are just making fun of 'normal' people. Police arresting them are like slashot moderators, they love rough anal sex.
Thanks for the shameless plug. For those who don't know yet. Parent post is a quote from my latest book titled "Tongue of a Moldy Cock". Trilogy of the testicular series. A special nude picture of your mom on the cover.
Who is stupid enough to build an Earth simulator? Unless you came from another planet, you have two feet grounded on Earth. Just dig a fucking hole if you want to see what's going on down there.

Do the math.
You have no privacy. Do the math.
Tell them to fuck off! Keep that 1 member of staff busy. He's an idiot anyway.
Your FP is voided by your homosexuality as an AC. I claim first post.
more bangs for your bucks
If you are going to count the number of messages they deleted. It would be more like 5743th post.
I put that little sticker on the hood of my car and now I can outrun cops in a heartbeat.
Netcraft has now confirmed: *BSD is dying

Shut up fucking AC. I earn more money in a year than you'll ever do in your entire life time. $2000 still unreasonable for an Intel toaster.
What is reasonable price? $2000? Doesn't sound reasonable to me.
And if the spyware send your habits information to the company, I will put shit on a golden plate into the fridge just to mess with them.
Can you imagine getting caugh masturbating in front of the fridge.

Some day you are the statue
Just because you can't run Lunix under 64k doesn't mean Bill Gates is wrong. He knows what he is doing.
You think it's grease on your monitor. Will you cut off my penis?
Do you realize you are going to eat this? Your call!
It does suck. Plus the band members all have mullets. Are you into bestial homosexuality or something?
I prefer to suck the chocolate off, then let others eat the nuts.
Did you see the picture? She has a nice cunt.
It means that slashdot is reporting a year old news. Add to that some misspellings and you get the recipe for success.
