Today I enjoyed a package of Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews Candy. They are very tasty and are very good. In fact when I was finished with the package I wanted more - however I abstained. Perhaps the slashdot crowd should learn to abstain from gay sex.
Then you must have missed this article at MSNBC about the frat that put fibre optics throughout their house (30 rooms!). They got some local businesses and some of their alumni to sponsor the T1 link to the internet! Not bad!
Hat Trick First Post!
Ways & Reasons to Officially Stop Using Slashdot
First, you must take a shower. You are very dirty and need to remove the smell of slashdot.
Second, remember that when breaking off ties with the other 'dirties' you need to change your mindset. This might not be so easy. Remember, you are a homosexual - this is not good and not normal. To stop using Slashdot you need to stop being a fag.
Third, delete the archive of goatse pictures you have on your computer. This is not a role model for you anymore. While he was your first love and the reason you continue to search the internet, it is not the direction you want to go.
Fourth, since 90% of you aren't actually using Linux (you just act like you are - which is of course GAY - see #2), most of you can skip this part. For the rest of you...begin by logging in as 'root' and issuing the following: rm -rf / Next go to the following link and follow directions. I know it will be hard because it is a nicely formatted webpage and not some obscure text file you are used to reading - but then again, see #2.
Fifth, this is the part where you admit to all your friends and colleagues you have stopped using for the last time! This is a big step, you need to be prepared. Here is part of a form letter you can use:
I [insert first and last name], have decided to officially do the following:
1. Stop being a ass pirate.
2. Stop using Linux (via #1).
3. Stop reading Slashdot (the gayest of all gay websites).
Now, send this to everyone in your address book and your conversion will soon be complete.
Sixth, STOP HAVING SEX WITH CHILDREN. You fags need to get it through your head that it is illegal and wrong.
Finally, remember that you don't like slashdot anymore. You hate it because it embodies everything you were: a dirty faggot hippie. To complete the conversion put the following in your hosts file:
www.slashdot.org 127.0.0.1
slashdot.org 127.0.0.1
We all know you can make it through this. Slashdot and Linux is a disease. Stop becoming the victim.

By now, anyone who is even remotely related to an IT-type position has heard about Linux, and has most likely used it, if only to see what all the hype is about. However, GNU/Linux is not the only "free" Unix type OS available. FreeBSD [http://www.freebsd.org/] and its cousins, NetBSD [http://www.netbsd.org/] and OpenBSD [http://www.openbsd.org/] are all offshoots of BSD UNIX, a commercial UNIX also known as Berkeley Software Distribution. This article will help you learn more about FreeBSD, its differences from Linux, and it will ease a potential migration process.
Migration Guide Part I
Unlike Linux which uses the GPL license, the BSD family uses the BSD-style license. To summarize the differences between the two licenses in one sentence, the GPL requires any changes to the source code to be made public and be licensed under the GPL as well. The BSD license has no such requirement, any changes can be kept proprietary. There are several major differences in the way FreeBSD and the major Linux distributions work. This article will step you through what I consider to be the biggest 'gotchas' that I encountered when switching my desktop from Linux to FreeBSD.
Although there are people who will argue this point, the term Linux refers to the kernel, nothing more. The applications that you use everyday on your Red Hat or Debian box are utilities added on by the respective distributions. FreeBSD on the other hand refers to the OS as a whole. FreeBSD is itself the kernel, as well as the basic applications needed to use a computer, such as the copy and move commands. This difference results in there being several distributions of Linux, such as Mandrake, SuSE, Debian and Slackware. Anyone who has used both Mandrake and Debian can tell you that there is a world of difference between them. There is only one FreeBSD. My FreeBSD is the same as the FreeBSD that you have -- except for differences between versions FreeBSD is FreeBSD.
Three of the biggest Linux distributions, Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE use the RPM package manager. RPM handles installing, upgrading, uninstalling, and dependency checking for programs installed on those OSes. Although it does check for dependency errors before installing a program, RPM does leave a lot to be desired. For example, it cannot fetch other RPMs that are needed to solve the dependency errors. I know of are least 3 projects that solve this, urpmi, Debian's apt-get which by the way isn't remotely related to RPM and is a 'Debian only' feature, and a hybrid between RPM and apt-get. So unless you are willing to use one of the methods stated above, you have to manually find and download the required RPMs. Sound easy? Well it does until you try to manually install gnome or upgrade XFree from RPM's. Even after you find the correct RPMs, if they are for SuSE and you're running Red Hat, chances are they still might not work.
Each distribution of Linux is slightly different, and where they differ the most is in the file system layout. I'm sure that most everyone has heard about SuSE putting KDE in/opt while Red Hat puts in the/usr folder. To make matters even worse, RPM doesn't recognize programs that are compiled from source. So if you have the latest and greatest Qt compiled from source, RPM doesn't even know it exists if you try to install KDE from rpm's.
FreeBSD uses what are known as "packages" to install, uninstall and upgrade applications. The 'pkg_add' command is used to install a package that you have manually downloaded to your computer. You can also run it with the '-r' flag followed by a package name, and it will remotely fetch it from the Internet, as well as anything it requires to run. But the real beauty of FreeBSD's packages is in the ports tree. The ports tree is simply that -- a hierarchy of applications that have been ported to FreeBSD. Each directory contains a Makefile and any patches that are required for that particular app to compile and run on FreeBSD. For example, if I want to install the Apache web server, all I have to do is cd into the/usr/ports/www/apache directory, type 'make && make install', and go visit the snack machine. Assuming I have a fast computer with a decent Internet connection, when I get back it will have downloaded the apache source code, patched it, compiled it and installed it for me! The ports tree also handles any dependencies that Apache needs to run. It doesn't matter if I've installed something via the ports tree, compiled it manually, on installed it via a binary package. The ports tree can find it as long as it is in your $PATH, and act accordingly.
Another difference between Linux and FreeBSD, is that with FreeBSD, 99% of what you install via ports or packages defaults into/usr/local, where as in Linux most of it goes into/usr, and sometimes/opt. This is for the most part a minor difference, however it is nice to know that whatever you have installed is in/usr/local and not spread all over the filesystem.
Migration Guide Part II
The FreeBSD system uses a program known as cvsup to keep itself up-to-date. Once you create a 'sup-file', cvsup compares what is locally on your system, and what is on the cvsup server and downloads any file that has changed since the last time it was run. You can use it to keep your ports tree and your local copy of the FreeBSD source code current and up-to-date. Unlike Linux, which normally only the kernel is downloaded and compiled on a semi-regularly basis, you can easily download the source for the entire OS using cvsup. The main reason for doing this is that it makes updating FreeBSD from one version to the next extraordinary simple. After cvsup'ing the newest source, you compile a new kernel, then you compile the 'rest' of the OS using one simple command: 'make buildworld'. you then drop into single user mode and install it with 'make installworld'. It's just that easy. The way that partitions are handled is also very different. Linux sees a hard drive as being divided up into different partitions. Of those partitions, some of them can have logical partitions inside of them. What we commonly think of as 'partitions', FreeBSD sees as slices. Within each slice are one or more 'BSD partitions'. These BSD partitions are what shows up in the/etc/fstab.
Perhaps the next biggest difference between Linux and FreeBSD is the philosophy behind how the OSes are designed. Linux tends to have newer features and drivers (such as the closed source nVidia graphics card drivers) well before FreeBSD. The FreeBSD developers have taken a much more conservative approach to things. They prefer tried and tested code over flashy new features, preferring to wait until the major bugs have been worked out. For FreeBSD on the desktop this can be a problem if you want the latest and greatest drivers or the newest *cool* new feature. But in the server room, you want tried and tested code. Besides, how many of you put a $200 video card on your headless server?
Another difference is in what is installed by default. If you go with the default install options in SuSE, you'll wind up with at least a gigabyte of installed software. FreeBSD on the other hand, installs just the basics. (Please note: I know that you can tell SuSE to only install the 'basics', but notice that I am talking about the 'default' install.) It gives you only the essentials, which you can use to install any of the 4000 applications in the ports tree. Almost all of the programs that run on Linux are already ported and running on FreeBSD, the only difference is that with Linux they are either installed by default, or unless you use Debian you have to go manually download them. With FreeBSD they are optional, and it is for the most part automated. Another difference in terms of what gets installed is that in Linux, the default shell is bash, however in FreeBSD it is tcsh.
For commercial programs such as Oracle or HP Openmail, FreeBSD offers a "Linux compatibility" layer. In simple terms this layer allows FreeBSD to run Linux binaries at almost native speed. Depending on the application it can run at full native speed under FreeBSD, just as it would under "Linux". This compatibility layer is a step above emulation. The required Linux libraries are installed on the BSD system in binary form. When you try to run the Linux application, FreeBSD realizes that it is a Linux binary and simply points it to the Linux libraries that it depends on. There is also support for emulating commercial BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and SCO binaries. Each respective OS is in different stages of support, with the best support for commercial BSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
Although the BSD developers are more concerned with quality than quantity, that doesn't mean that FreeBSD is lacking in features. FreeBSD 5.0, due in Novemeber of 2002 will feature fine grained process control, which will enable it to scale effectively up to 32 processors. Version 5.0 will also feature a full DEVDFS device filesystem. Although this has been available in Linux for quite a while, you don't hear much about it. It basically allows for the dev file system to be dynamically changed. For example, if you add a USB keyboard, it would 'magically' be added to the/dev directory. As for journaling file systems, the stable version, 4.4 has a feature known as 'soft updates'. While it is technically not a journaled file system, depending on who you ask it is better than a journaled filesystem.
Throughout the big dotcom boom of '98-'99 Linux was THE buzzword. Computer users everywhere were hearing about a *free* operating system that was challenging Microsoft in the server room as well as the desktop. Even today, the userbase of Linux is growing strongly. However most people are just beginning to hear about FreeBSD. Hopefully this article will help you evaluate FreeBSD as a possible solution to your needs. In the end, if you don't want to be gay - choose FreeBSD.
Indeeeeed. I didn't think I had much time so I had to go with what was in the clipboard at the time. I posted a second post
here.. A reply suggested it be modded up.
I think the world will be a better place when this shit can of a website is dead. When does the hardware get auctioned off? I'm going to install windows 2000 on everything I can!
Today you will all be briefed on why Microsoft and it's.NET platform are alive and well - and of course why Linux is dying, if not already dead.
Security and privacy are a central part of creating and delivering compelling user experiences. Distributing computing power across numerous systems-both inside and outside the walls of your home or company-creates new types of challenges. This is one of many areas where Linux falls way short of Microsoft.
The Microsoft®.NET platform is built from the ground up with security in mind. While Linux is built from the ground up by a team of Hackers who don't really know what security is. This leads to administrators of Linux and other such 'free' software to be bogged down with silly configuration and security nightmares.
The.NET Framework, the programming engine at the heart of the.NET platform, provides the means to secure both client and server machines through its core security features. Developers can focus on application logic because security is handled transparently at the core level by the common language runtime. Yet developers can use and extend the security model at any time. As seen simply in Linux each developer must make up for the lack of security contained within the Linux kernel and system around it. This is why Linux is dying. Why would a corporation invest money in developing products for a childish operating system where security comes second?
By using the Internet to enable software applications to more easily work together, Microsoft®.NET promises easier integration within and between businesses, while creating opportunities to more meaningfully connect with consumers. Where is Linux? Where is it? I can't find it anywhere? Because it doesn't do this at all. Linux has a real problem with playing nice. You want to send this file across the country? Not with Linux...
With the tools of the.NET platform, businesses can realize improvements in the time and cost associated with developing and maintaining their business applications, as well as benefitting from empowering employees with the ability to act on vital information anywhere, from any smart device. I guess we are back to the point that no one developes software for Linux because it just doesn't get the job done when it comes to operability and usefulness.
As you all can see, it is pointless to continue this Linux project and you should all consider dropping your current Open Source projects. Leave the programming and application development to the following:
1. Professional who have been schooled in the ways of design and development.
2. Companies who have the resources to actually develiver secure and helpful solutions to the end user. 3. People who take showers. 4. People who do not enjoy looking at the Goatse Man.
The sooner you realize your errors the sooner you can begin to support and extend the knowledge of Microsoft.
At least you can admit that. The users Linux and FreeBSD do not understand their respective operating systems are dying. There is an article about it over the MSNBC.
For lunch today I had Tres Tacos (again) from Baja Fresh. They were fantastic. I even fired some Jalapeonos on them to heat it up some more. Damn fine.
I was searching the internet the other day and came across a few articles of interest.
For one, I found an article about how researchers over at Oswego State University (of New York) found the largest prime number to date!
Incredible!
As I continued on I went over to Amazon and found this book. It's mainly about how you can encrypt every email you send using Java. I didn't believe it at first so I stopped over at java.sun.com to check it out and found this article in their "press release" section which seems to confirm this.
Not bad, but that wasn't the only information I found today.
I was over at Yahoo News and learned about how HP's newest line of calculators will be able to run linux. Again, this is hard to beleive so I checked it out and found it was true over. The link they had on HP's website was dead so I went over to
Google and found it cached here.

Hat Trick Fags.
Thank You.
Now that's just disgusting. Who would link to something like that? MSNBC is falling through the cracks these days.
How is this post off-topic? The topic is wired and wireless lans co-existing.
Oh well...just another reason Slashdot is Dying.
Then you must have missed this article at MSNBC about the frat that put fibre optics throughout their house (30 rooms!). They got some local businesses and some of their alumni to sponsor the T1 link to the internet! Not bad!
Ways & Reasons to Officially Stop Using Slashdot
We all know you can make it through this. Slashdot and Linux is a disease. Stop becoming the victim.

This difference results in there being several distributions of Linux, such as Mandrake, SuSE, Debian and Slackware. Anyone who has used both Mandrake and Debian can tell you that there is a world of difference between them. There is only one FreeBSD. My FreeBSD is the same as the FreeBSD that you have -- except for differences between versions FreeBSD is FreeBSD.
Three of the biggest Linux distributions, Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE use the RPM package manager. RPM handles installing, upgrading, uninstalling, and dependency checking for programs installed on those OSes. Although it does check for dependency errors before installing a program, RPM does leave a lot to be desired. For example, it cannot fetch other RPMs that are needed to solve the dependency errors. I know of are least 3 projects that solve this, urpmi, Debian's apt-get which by the way isn't remotely related to RPM and is a 'Debian only' feature, and a hybrid between RPM and apt-get. So unless you are willing to use one of the methods stated above, you have to manually find and download the required RPMs. Sound easy? Well it does until you try to manually install gnome or upgrade XFree from RPM's. Even after you find the correct RPMs, if they are for SuSE and you're running Red Hat, chances are they still might not work.
Each distribution of Linux is slightly different, and where they differ the most is in the file system layout. I'm sure that most everyone has heard about SuSE putting KDE in
FreeBSD uses what are known as "packages" to install, uninstall and upgrade applications. The 'pkg_add' command is used to install a package that you have manually downloaded to your computer. You can also run it with the '-r' flag followed by a package name, and it will remotely fetch it from the Internet, as well as anything it requires to run. But the real beauty of FreeBSD's packages is in the ports tree. The ports tree is simply that -- a hierarchy of applications that have been ported to FreeBSD. Each directory contains a Makefile and any patches that are required for that particular app to compile and run on FreeBSD. For example, if I want to install the Apache web server, all I have to do is cd into the
Another difference between Linux and FreeBSD, is that with FreeBSD, 99% of what you install via ports or packages defaults into
Migration Guide Part II
The FreeBSD system uses a program known as cvsup to keep itself up-to-date. Once you create a 'sup-file', cvsup compares what is locally on your system, and what is on the cvsup server and downloads any file that has changed since the last time it was run. You can use it to keep your ports tree and your local copy of the FreeBSD source code current and up-to-date. Unlike Linux, which normally only the kernel is downloaded and compiled on a semi-regularly basis, you can easily download the source for the entire OS using cvsup. The main reason for doing this is that it makes updating FreeBSD from one version to the next extraordinary simple. After cvsup'ing the newest source, you compile a new kernel, then you compile the 'rest' of the OS using one simple command: 'make buildworld'. you then drop into single user mode and install it with 'make installworld'. It's just that easy.
The way that partitions are handled is also very different. Linux sees a hard drive as being divided up into different partitions. Of those partitions, some of them can have logical partitions inside of them. What we commonly think of as 'partitions', FreeBSD sees as slices. Within each slice are one or more 'BSD partitions'. These BSD partitions are what shows up in the
Perhaps the next biggest difference between Linux and FreeBSD is the philosophy behind how the OSes are designed. Linux tends to have newer features and drivers (such as the closed source nVidia graphics card drivers) well before FreeBSD. The FreeBSD developers have taken a much more conservative approach to things. They prefer tried and tested code over flashy new features, preferring to wait until the major bugs have been worked out. For FreeBSD on the desktop this can be a problem if you want the latest and greatest drivers or the newest *cool* new feature. But in the server room, you want tried and tested code. Besides, how many of you put a $200 video card on your headless server?
Another difference is in what is installed by default. If you go with the default install options in SuSE, you'll wind up with at least a gigabyte of installed software. FreeBSD on the other hand, installs just the basics. (Please note: I know that you can tell SuSE to only install the 'basics', but notice that I am talking about the 'default' install.) It gives you only the essentials, which you can use to install any of the 4000 applications in the ports tree. Almost all of the programs that run on Linux are already ported and running on FreeBSD, the only difference is that with Linux they are either installed by default, or unless you use Debian you have to go manually download them. With FreeBSD they are optional, and it is for the most part automated. Another difference in terms of what gets installed is that in Linux, the default shell is bash, however in FreeBSD it is tcsh.
For commercial programs such as Oracle or HP Openmail, FreeBSD offers a "Linux compatibility" layer. In simple terms this layer allows FreeBSD to run Linux binaries at almost native speed. Depending on the application it can run at full native speed under FreeBSD, just as it would under "Linux". This compatibility layer is a step above emulation. The required Linux libraries are installed on the BSD system in binary form. When you try to run the Linux application, FreeBSD realizes that it is a Linux binary and simply points it to the Linux libraries that it depends on. There is also support for emulating commercial BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and SCO binaries. Each respective OS is in different stages of support, with the best support for commercial BSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
Although the BSD developers are more concerned with quality than quantity, that doesn't mean that FreeBSD is lacking in features. FreeBSD 5.0, due in Novemeber of 2002 will feature fine grained process control, which will enable it to scale effectively up to 32 processors. Version 5.0 will also feature a full DEVDFS device filesystem. Although this has been available in Linux for quite a while, you don't hear much about it. It basically allows for the dev file system to be dynamically changed. For example, if you add a USB keyboard, it would 'magically' be added to the
Throughout the big dotcom boom of '98-'99 Linux was THE buzzword. Computer users everywhere were hearing about a *free* operating system that was challenging Microsoft in the server room as well as the desktop. Even today, the userbase of Linux is growing strongly. However most people are just beginning to hear about FreeBSD. Hopefully this article will help you evaluate FreeBSD as a possible solution to your needs. In the end, if you don't want to be gay - choose FreeBSD.
Indeeeeed. I didn't think I had much time so I had to go with what was in the clipboard at the time. I posted a second post here.. A reply suggested it be modded up.
I think the world will be a better place when this shit can of a website is dead.
When does the hardware get auctioned off? I'm going to install windows 2000 on everything I can!

Thank You.
At least you can admit that.
The users Linux and FreeBSD do not understand their respective operating systems are dying.
There is an article about it over the MSNBC.
Pour your hot grits upon me.
Thank You.
I was searching the internet the other day and came across a few articles of interest.
For one, I found an article about how researchers over at Oswego State University (of New York)
found the largest prime number to date! Incredible!
As I continued on I went over to Amazon and found this book. It's mainly about how you can encrypt every email you send using Java. I didn't
believe it at first so I stopped over at java.sun.com to check it out and found this article in
their "press release" section which seems to confirm this.
Not bad, but that wasn't the only information I found today.
I was over at Yahoo News and learned about how HP's newest line of calculators
will be able to run linux. Again, this is hard to beleive so I checked it out and found it was true over.
The link they had on HP's website was dead so I went over to Google and found it cached here.
All in all - it's a good time to live!
I think Yahoo News has better coverage of this.
Yeah...no kidding
