*BSD I can deal with, but how many actual web sites running on Windows servers use Apache rather than IIS?
With more and more companies using Subversion for revision control, you can expect even more of them start using Apache httpd for other things as well. Of course, one may just just use svnserve instead of via Apache httpd.
Why? Saudi Arabians have repeatedly attacked the US, and Saudi Arabia is highly undemocratic and has no religious freedom. India is a free country and Indians have never posed a threat to the US. Shouldn't that be taken into account when discussing further restrictions on who can be taught dangerous information?
Saudi Arabia is one of the most repressive and reactionary states in the world, and the leadership is on chummy terms with Bush. It's not about democracy, but about huge Saudi oil and gas reserves.
You don't need to be a genius to install OpenBSD. Assuming that you can read English, the installation instructions are more enough.
Actually, the (almost) main reason why I use OpenBSD is because it's easy to install, configure and maintain in a secure way. Yeah, I know, I'm lazy;-)
I think the confusion came from the fact that you called it a "primary DOS partition". Primary partitions are a i386 thing. DOS partitions are partitions created to hold a DOS filesystem (FAT,FAT32,etc).
aw come off it
partitioning HD's is Computer Building 101
spend an evening to understand it and it will put in good stead for the rest of your life
Perhaps you should widen your experience beyond i386 and Linux.
It's confusing because the same word partition (on i386) is used to refer to both DOS partion (fidsk) and filesystem (disklabel).
Manually creating a BSD disklabel is not to be taken lightly. If you're experienced you can do it, but it's very far from friendly. Anyone know if they've done anything to make it easier?
It is confusing when you come from i386 and have used Linux. It was, at least for me, quite confusing the usage of the word "partition".
To simplify, on Linux on i386 for each file system there will be a partition (DOS type).
On BSD you commonly create a primary DOS parition using fdisk, and then use disklabel to create different filesystems on that particular DOS partition. "Primary" beacuse BSD may only boot from a primary DOS partition (at most four of those).
Now, when you enter fdisk you are asked to "parition" your harddisk(s). Then you enter disklabel and are asked to create new partitions. WTF? I just did that! Enter the term "slice" that is not quite the same across the BSD. Erh, you won't see the word "slice" in the man pages, though.
Not sure if OpenBSD 3.7 still have this usage of partition, though.
In any case, I'm a happy user of OpenBSD since 3.2/3.3.
As someone with no real knowledge or opinions of Cuba until reading this whole discussion, I find it worrying that you fail to even acknowledge those horrible photos.
"acknowledge those horrible photos"? I "acknowledge" the human suffering portraided by those photos. Next time you buy a toy to your child (if you have any), be rest assured that there is much suffering in the sweat shop that prodiced that toy. Will you "acknowledge" that as well?
It's well known that that Cuba has, for the region, a decent basic health care and educational system. That you don't like Castro's dicatorship is very understandable, but choose something else to attack than basic health care. For instance, lack of free and fair elections, and political prisoners.
Really?!? How do you know you can trust the statistics that the Cuban government publishes? See for yourself the great healthcare you can get as a Cuban citizen.
First reply to my post claimed that the low infant mortality in Cuba is explained by low birth rate and, kid me not, infanticide.
And here are you refering to a "free domain" site containing unsubstansiated picures claiming to be from Havana hospital.
Gee, only uneducated simpletons will believe that.
ok, a quick google search and it looks like you're right. turns out you shouldn't believe everything you read in the CCNA curriculum.
It tells you that MAC addresses cannot be changed.
Indeed. For instance, from the OpenBSD manual page for ifconfig (option lladdr) :
lladdr etheraddr Change the link layer address (MAC address) of the inter- face. This should be specificed as six colon-separated hex values.
I'd rather we spent our prison budget on working to enhance the education and reformation of the prisoners rather than keeping track of where they are at all times, something that we don't have a problem with right now.
Note that no democratic state has such a large portion of it's citizens in prison than USA.
US prison system is big business, and reformation of prisoners is not part of that.
Not a fan at all of using RFIDs for 'regular' people, but as far as inmates are concerned it sounds good to me. As long as the RFIDs are removed before they, you know, get released.
And what benefit will it have to spend $1bn on this? I'm sure this money could be put to better use, like schools.
Hardly.
It isn't a favor to me when good jobs are lost to sweat shops in China only to be replaced by part-time minimum wage "associate" positions at your local Wal-Mart.
But still people go buying at Wal-Mart, even though it hurts them in the long run. Seems "Mainstreet USA" is filled by shops closed down by some local Wal-Mart.
Outsourcing takes money out of the middle/working class (in the form of good jobs) and redistributes it to the upper class (in the form of increased profits in lieu of decreased labor costs). It is certainly class warfare at its finest.
Modern law endows economic institutions with legal rights of real, flesh-and-blood people. But if the corporation is a person -- what kind of person is it? A recent documentary film provides an alarming answer: the institution is "a person that is pathological by nature and by law, and systematically crushes democracy, freedom, rights, and the natural human instincts on which a decent life and even human survival depends."
That's why they're a Most Favored Nation in US international trade. We do them a favor by opening our markets to them. They don't have to return the favor to the "US", just to our politicians, or to the corporations which bribe^Wcontribute to elect them.
You don't want to pay your own citizens decent wages, so you export manufacture to China where chinese can make your childrens toys in sweat shops. They are doing you a favor by producing things under slavelike conditions.
And what would a civilized way to kill an enemy be then? Fire and forget? Never see them at all?
There are not any "civilized" ways to kill an enemy. But hey, the US invasion of Iraq must be "civilized", at least according to CNN's coverage of "precision bombing". Never mind that 100 000 died....
Thats not civilized at all.
I mean if they could have made the guillotine cauterize the head and neck would that have made it more civalized?
Thats just making it easier to do becuase it would make the act of killing seem less real.
Indeed, and that was the point of my post that several missed. The act of making killing seems less real is very important in warfare : just look a those CNN pictures of "precision" bombs.
Not covered in blood - the light saber should cauterize the wound. Very civilized.
you really did not get the sarcasm in my post. In any case, a beheading using a light saber (of the type showed in the movies) will not "cauterize the wound" enough to stop blood spurting. That it's pure fiction.
And Ben Kenobi referred to laser beam swords weapons of a more civilized age.
Yeah, beheading someone with a laser sword is very civilized. You have the honour of watching someone die while covered in their blood. It's so civilized, indeed.
Advertising (deceit is probably a better term) and the advertisers influence media to such a degree that to talk about "objective journalism" is ludicrus. Entire articles and "themes" are made just so they can attract advertisers as such. "Objectivity" and "informative" is not part of this.
Start looking at ownership of media and what "journalists" write negatively about. What do you find? Objective, critical and informative journalism? Hardly.

Good for you! Why are you still confused? You must have put quite some effort to have plan9 up and running.

Exactly the point of my first post ;-)
Yes, on i386 OpenBSD may _only_ boot from a primary parition, and that is what I wrote. On other architectures there are different rules.
