    Maybe if you'd keep them in your skin where they belong, you wouldn't lose them so often.

    The city of Fargo, ND set up a system to collect the methane from their landfill and send it to an oil seed processing plant a couple of miles away. They run one of their boilers on this methane instead of natural gas. They used an EPA grant for it and it went online in 2002.

  21. Re:Are there still hardcore BSD-ers? on FreeBSD September-October 2002 Development Status · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I started out using Slackware about 8 years ago. About 5 years ago I built a dual CPU PC and started looking at other OSs. I decided to try FreeBSD because it was the only BSD with SMP support. Since then I've only used Linux for work required purposes. Everything else is FreeBSD.

    Incidentally, haven't you ever tested a motherboard that was *not* mounted in a case? :) You know, rest it on the foam it ships with, shlop in a video card, a stick of RAM and a CPU, hook up a power supply, keyboard and monitor... :)

    I had one running that way for the better part of a year.
