You could argue that's a fairly unreasonable demand given the quality of the compatibilty layer brings about no easily measured expense- syscall translation between Linux and BSD is not difficult.
This should not have been moderated down. McKusick, the creator of the logo, has asked that he be referred to as the daemon, and if anything else, "Chuck."
How do you manage to mention the linux compatiblity layer, which provides support for 97% of the closed source Linux OSes, but then turn around and say there aren't any applications?
The voting tax was setup to segregate the polls and keep the lower
class (read: Majority of southern blacks, and others who don't own property)
away from the polls.
A voting tax hurts democracy. Perhaps a fine if you don't vote would make more sense... but I still disagree with it on principle.
My state doesn't have write-ins, yours does? And voting for yourself, if you aren't running,
is just as bad as not voting at all- you didn't take your vote
seriously, and know that noone else will either.
He's not against anything that you listed, he's against the institution that allows people to profit off of such items that can be seen as "morally corrupting."
All Nader wants to do is make the companies take into consideration the best interests of the little kids who may end up with a copy of the game: Don't sell it to kids that young, or enable a "safe" mode, or etc.
Just because you want to protect the children, that doesn't mean you want to "protect" the 27 year old gamer who can make up his mind for himself.
Censorship? C'mon! He just wants marketing goons and friends to stop trying to take advantage of little kids.
And I suppose being able to do that makes you a real programmer?
I never said that. I merely said that it was a trivial task to write a program to filter it out, and that anyone who considered themself a programmer would have no trouble doing it.
Stop making mountains out of molehills and relax.

_Much_ more than that gets postedin a day.
Until advanced holostore technology, it's not feasible to archive usenet and binaries for any real length of time.
When you put aside third party packages who have been audited, it's really roughly equal for advisories.
Most of the latest FreeBSD base advisories applied to OpenBSD as well, such as the procfs vulnerability, except OpenBSD shipped with it off by default.
Then there's OpenBSD's recent isc-dhcpd exploit (again not specific to OpenBSD, but what is?) and passwd exploit.
I'm not saying that XYZ is more secure than OpenBSD, but there really is information on the table that would cause us to want to investigate more before any conclusions are drawn.
As for FreeBSD specifically having better networking support, with the exception of the new zero-copy sockets, I don't think that the difference is really a major one. At this level it is not the TCP stack that holds you back.
PicoBSD is a part of FreeBSD- a set of scripts and makefiles for making an image of a FreeBSD operating system that's small enough to go onto a floppy disk.
I do know of female BSD users, but no serious contributors (yet). Take the "daemon babe" that the immature slashdot population always raves about; she's a user.

No, it really doesn't take too long with a little perl or with a program such as cscope.
Heck, just do a big grep for "printf" and exclude matches that have quotes. That'll find you the offenders real quick.
Virtually any IC that you'll find anywhere can withstand voltage fluctuations, especially ones that small. If a processor rated for 1.5V couldn't run at 1.1V, you can bet they would write 1.8V or so for the recommended Vcc level. Even your TTL ICs can withstand that type of change.
This is nothing that should be seen as impressive, it's just PR that will fool the masses and make the engineers wonder why it would exist any other way.
Actually, the rights promised to us in the [amended] constitution don't just protect us from the federal government, but from our state governments as well.
Because we live in a free country, and the corporations can think whatever they want about us. Any law or amendment trying to extend the rights promised to the citizens in the first (and in this case, fifth) amendment would be unconstitutional because the company has the right to presume you guilty.
Microsoft doesn't make the laws, they aren't the law, so they can be as biased as they want about you. That's their right.

I think the bigger gripe is with Linux's bedpartner, the GNU project....

Here in North America, you'll have one heck of a hard time finding an ISP that's providing IPv6 service directly. Good luck.
dk? You wouldn't happen to be in NJ, eh?
Have you looked through the FreeBSD Ports Tree lately?

Frankly, nobody does these studies professionally. Take them all with a grain of salt.
Stop being sexist and assuming that a female at a computer trade show is just some hired bimbo.
I think you're a bit oversensitive on the issue. Exactly what do you disagree with?

Pfft, a Ph.D. in AI is not as cool as an AI engine with a Ph.D.
And a processor (chip) is one IC.

Thanks to the 14th amendment, that is.

I'm sure this thing could run for 30 years if treated properly without a hitch... solid state technology, we love you! :)
