OS X uses Apple's MirrorAgent. It works well and exists exclusively on the client. OS X Server is *not* a requirement to make this work. I'm running a FreeBSD server at home to handle this. OpenLDAP and NFS get the job done. My Macs don't care that the server isn't OS X.
Playing off this notion that/. members don't get girls...
Could you say then that/. is a form of birth control? Maybe computers in general are birth control. That's doubtful considering China blames the Internet for the rise in teen pregnancies.
Are there any localities in the US where you don't? (Or am I completely wrong?)
Zero taxes on land? There may be some places but I'm not aware of them. However, here in New Hampshire (and probably other states) you can place parcels into current use. This drastically lowers taxes on that parcel as a reward for letting it retain its forest-like characteristics. Here's a link to a decent PDF which explains.

Well, since he was discussing his firewall and his use of OpenBSD on his firewall, it seemed relevant that I discuss his firewall and his use of OpenBSD on it. No?
Troll? I didn't get the impression that he was claiming the OpenBSD project should call it a day because their software can't be improved. I think he was claiming that for his particular application (a firewall), he didn't need anything more than what it already provides.
> BTW, is there any way to get rid of it temporarily if I don't want to use it? It takes up so much space that could have better use sometimes. Tools -> Add-ons
Then pick Lightning and click Disable.
I read your comment and thought the word "Zune" had picked up a new connotation. Allow me to illustrate: "I Zune for a better MP3 player." "I've been Zuning for an iPod." I really think it could catch on!
I've been wearing a pair of their HD 280 Pro for about a year (whenever I'm in the server room) and they're perfect. I usually hang an iPod off of them. They bring down the ambient noise so much that I listen to the iPod at fairly low levels and hear the music just fine. They're rather comfortable as well. Yesterday I wore them for about six hours with no discomfort. They're an over-the-ear design and I can testify that they don't touch the ear at all.
The only problem with wearing them is that coworkers can, and do, sneak up on me!
Last time I was in the USA, I couldn't even find anywhere that offered gravy in a side dish for my fries! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people!?
No poutine? That _is_ terrible. You didn't visit the right part of the US. Here in northern New Hampshire, poutine is *usually* on the menu. Some might argue that we have more in common with Quebec than the rest of the US. Around here, you'll hear French spoken just about anywhere you go. Come visit us in May when the snow begins melting (started snowing Monday).
You owe it to yourself to go check out some of the screencasts. The two features that have saved me the most time (so far) are:
There's just about no configuration to do if you follow some simple and logical naming conventions.
Once you've created your database table, a simple "ruby scripts/generate scaffold Model Controller" (substituting your actual model and controller) writes enough code so that you can do inserts, updates and deletes on the table.
Now if VMware would just make an announcement today.
As an aside... Last week, VMware made available a beta of VMware Server. I gather it's based on the old ESX product. I've been testing it since Thursday with excellent results!
What is this "logging on" of which you speak? I have never "logged on" to Google. Is this for g-mail or some other service?
Can you log on for additional search engine features?

Don't fret. Go make use of Colin Percival's binary updates system to perform a binary upgrade. You'll be running 6.2-RELEASE in no time at all.

Mag may not sell a conversion for your mini but they do exist. These guys make an awesome product that you can buy at http://batteryjunction.com/.
There's nothing wrong with it. That's the point. It's an eloquently constructed commentary debunking proper writing. It ought to be modded funny.
Since you mentioned Sennheiser...

Absolutely. Allow me to introduce you to the "O Face."
The parent post is utterly brilliant! Where are the mods?!
FYI, a few weeks back, David Ulevitch blogged that this is no longer a problem.
"Honey, have you seen my nano-battery charger?"
"Have you checked between the keys on your laptop?"
Didn't you get the memo? We love Intel now.

From there, you start customizing.
Who uses sendmail anymore hehe... qmail/postfix/exim/etc etc, all sendmail compatible.
Have you ever actually used "etc" as your MTA? There are *so many* configuration files and scripts. One would think that is all that etc consists of!
Yes, you're absolutely correct. My mistake. There's more info at the GSX page.

That's the magic of Akamai. There's a decent chance that your ISP has Akamai servers either right in their datacenter or nearby.
Yep, at the tender age of five, Linus Torvalds conceived a method by which to clone network interfaces in the, as of yet, nonexistent Linux kernel.
I wouldn't say a world of search features but it's definitely handy.
