    actually, there used to be a dev/test web site but www always went to the main one. the openbsd.org one was never the main site. nowadays many browsers (improperly) stuff a www in front if nothing found at a domain name

    more successful?

    millions of devices (including those from Cisco, Juniper, NetApp, EMC, Apple, etc.etc.) and many OS use code from Theo's projects. Maybe you are just an asshole, but Theo is a hugely successful one?

    no pipe dream, my employer has those people, making big money

    and what's this nonsense and misconceptions about resumes you have between your ears?

    in my career, I've held engineer, science and IT positions. I have "IT-flavored" version of my resume for when I'm seeking an IT focused type job, "engineering-flavored" one, etc. All the resumes are true, no innacuracies and all experience can be verified by contacting previous employers or talking to former coworkers or reference. So the point is of course you can have different versions of your resume with different focus on duties and skills.

    noise? you make assertions without proof, and if you're referencing the much-bandied study led by Dr. G Lamas, that one was only looking at cognitive function and heart heath.

      And even he admits vitamins of benefit in targeted populations with various malnutritions.

    in short, cheap insurance at least. and at most could be some major benefits in other areas of health.

    look at the small print on a coupon some time, "cash value is 1/30 of a cent" or somesuch. No one cares if someone clipped some coupons out of your newpaper.

        No government made the bitcoin system, no government oversees its operations nor can any government make guarantees about it. They do care when bitcoins are part of a crime, but they don't care about the bitcoins themselves.

    You're on your own with bitcoins, the "features" are its undoing.
