Actually, it shows just how free it is. Lucent has taken the product and released a version which benefits everyone involved, including the developers of the modification.
Okay, I had to see if it would effect my systems. So I tried it simultanouesly on a FreeBSD system and a Linux system. The FreeBSD system didn't notice. The Linux system quite responding instantly. Tell me again how the Linux 2.2.x IP stack is on par with FreeBSD?
BBN and UCB both, seperately added TCP/IP to 4.1cBSD. The problem was, UCB's was much nicer and faster so DARPA went with their implementation, thus upsetting BBN. I think this is all gone over in Open Sources, the McKusick section.
Entirely off topic: I have been meaning to respond (either personally or publicly) to "The Very Long Night of FreeBSD" for going on four months now. And some day, I will:)
Todd Miller posted to misc@openbsd.org yesterday saying that this bug was fixed "quite some time" ago in OpenBSD. A copy of his message can be seen here.
I read and understood it when I was eleven. I am not particularly gifted in the field of physics. The thing is, the book is simply not hard to understand and follow. In fact, it is quite easy to read.
Performace is faster, I have noticed many improvements in both stability and speed since switching. Also, nearly any UNIX application will run without problems under FreeBSD.
As others have said, Llewelyn was the constant in the series; everyone else has changed. I think the current M actress has had the part longer than any other, one Money Penny actress had a long run at it but there have been 3 different ones in the last four movies
Judi Dench, the actress who played M in the past three films, held the part of Money Penny in every other film. This makes her the only actor to appear in all 19 Bond films. Also, Money Penny has been played by Samantha Bond since Dench moved to M, therefore, there has only been once since then.
Yes. I also think the entire book is over kill for a semester course. We got through some 10 out of the 40 odd chapters:) If you are interested in discussing the book at greater length, feel free to email me at howardjp@wam.umd.edu.
I hate to say this, but I hate the CRL book. I really expected it to be a lot better than it was. Just this morning I told someone that if you halved the content and put in more English it would be a vastly better volume. I would also like to see C instead of pseudocode, but I can understand why pseudocode.
Also, the book is not the expensive, I think I only paid $55. And for a book of its size and content, it is a very attractive price.
As I understand it, when FreeBSD runs a Linux (or SCO, or Solaris, or whatever) binary, in simply loads a different vector table for system calls, therefore, there should be no speed difference between running native versus compatible.
No, it is true. You have to go to the about box three times without releasing CTRL+ALT+LSHIFT, but the third time you either get a pic of Gates, Balmer, or a Bear that points at the credits.
For a little information you will not find on the website, M-Net is a little bit harder and rougher on newusers. Basically, they hate them. But if you hang on for a little bit they eventually begin to tolerate you. However, when an argument springs up it is rougher and more abusive than anywhere else on the Internet. As for Grex, they are much kinder to newusers and in general more tolerant. If anyone tries either I am "jp2" on both. Have fun.
But this isn't a bad thing. Apple has created an incredible product (OSX) that is well worth using when the situation calls for it. I'd place OSX only behind FreeBSD and Digital UNIX in terms of my prefered working environments.
And if past experience of others is any giude, he is likely to see a more stable, secure, and efficient product overall. Using FreeBSD (or Net or Open) is the perfect solution for this type of embedded application. Linux simply cannot hold its own in real world environments.

I said laws were never justified. But then again, I also adhere to a Judeo-Christian moral code, so you won't see me doing any of the above anyway.
No law is ever justified.

DOH! Didn't see that one come across the list. :) That same message also says that a fix was just committed.
Just out of curiosity, is there anyone someone can just update everything which could be classified as a "security fix" in FreeBSD or OpenBSD?

According to Gates which came out ~1994, the last Microsoft product he personally coded for was MS Word for DOS 2.0.

That was all - no-one got hurt, and no-one really lost any money (banks are insured, or certainly should be).
Even if it were insured, somebody still looses money.
You'll be astounded by how simple the installation is. Sysinstall is great and makes it go in a snap.

The fact I have done it. It is a scrolling box they point at, but that does not significantly change anything I said before.

Eat a bag of shitdicks. ;)
Moderators, buzz off, it is a private joke.
M-Net and Grex are two BBS I have used for years. They are both based out of Ann Arbor, MI and have a local feel. However, both do cater to thousands of telnet (and hence, world-wide) users. If anyone is interested in more information they can be found at http://www.arbornet.org and http://www.cyberspace.org, respectively. They can also be reached at telnet://newuser@m-net.arbornet.org:23 and telnet://newuser@grex.cyberspace.org:23 .
For a little information you will not find on the website, M-Net is a little bit harder and rougher on newusers. Basically, they hate them.

That is exactly what is happening and that is why Slashdot-style moderation does not work.

I should write an essay on this.
It is probably just someone who is pissed because they chose Linux, the obviously inferior OS and now they cannot back out of it.
But this isn't a bad thing. Apple has created an incredible product (OSX) that is well worth using when the situation calls for it. I'd place OSX only behind FreeBSD and Digital UNIX in terms of my prefered working environments.
