If you will be implementing redundancy for your firewall/VPN/Edge Router, its hard to beat OpenBSD's CARP with PF. Personally I would never put any other free OS on a router/firewall then OBSD, but thats more to do with personal preference then anything else, OBSD has just worked really well for me.

America isn't going to be the best in everything, its just not possible. So what the fastest supercomputer in the world is a Japanese creation, other then some hurt pride among builders of these things, it doesn't mean anything. The reaction, "Oh my God someone else made something better, we better dump money on the problem for no reason,' doesn't do anything so give up already.
Something that exists can't compete with something that doesn't? Given the time between now and whenever the next version of Windows shows up, I think that there might be some time to whip BFS into shape, assuming it is as outdated as you say, personally I don't know and right now think that adding a relational DB to the file system is just going to have a significant impact on the performance of anything less then the absolute bleeding edge.
Then would you care to explain the several problems that were discovered in the kernel between last October and earlier this year that stretched back all the way to the early 2.2 and possibly 2.0 kernel series?
They might check to the best of their abilities, but its not fool proof and these problems were around for so long, after so many people looked at the code showing that just because you read it doesn't mean its not a problem. It is absolutely possible to introduce problems deliberately, all the initial code review does is make it so any engineered bug would have to be extremely well written.
I went to school with a guy who would have wet himself over something like this. He bought a programmable universal remote that I don't think did half the things this one does, and he dropped a few hundred on that one, so there are nuts that will buy it.
You think your any better? Your at your girlfriends apartment and what do you do? There are far better things to do then post to slashdot. Have her make you a sandwich or something.
How could 'duct tape' be the common name for a product that was called Duck tape, used for its water proofing during WW2, wasn't used in duct work till after WW2, and is apparently completely useless for duct work anyway. It was originally called Duck Tape by the creator, the fact that they also used that as a product name doesn't magically change that. 'Duct Tape' is the bastardized name of Duck Tape once it was put in a situation it shouldn't have been.
And heres the last post I'll waste on you. Since you seem to be so adverse to reading, here is the short blurb in the link you seem to have trouble with:
A commercial firm has named its product "Duck Tape," harkening back to the original name for this adhesive tape (which was green), developed by Johnson & Johnson during World War II to waterproof ammunition cases. It is now usually called "duct tape," for its common use in connecting ventilation and other ducts (which match its current silver color).
There is now a company that has Duck Tape as a product name, but they named it that because thats what it was originally called before everyone, including you, got it wrong and called it duct tape.

It was originally called duck tape because of its water proofing, but has since been used in duct work, so the colour was changed and people now call it duct tape. There were two links.
Studies by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California suggest that even top-of-the-line duct tapes are poor at sealing ducts... Clear polyester tapes with acrylic adhesives, in spite of their puny tensile strength, maintained their seals far longer than duct tape. Partly because of the Berkeley study, a California program that provides tax credits for building energy-efficient structures now prohibits the use of duct tape as a sealant, as does the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program.
But they have proved that they have the telecommunications infrastructure and the ability to forge international business deals worth many billions of dollars.
Thank god RMS told me this is wrong, I might have been pragmatic about it and used something that worked without my sacrifice to the Church of RMS.
I hope he'll next tell me what car I should buy, who to marry and what diet I should be on. I'm looking forward to when he moves all his followers to a compound in Texas or South America, its gonna be sweet.
And your everyone? The iTunes interface is a reason for the iPods success, perhaps not at first, but if iTunes was a pain to interface the iPod with, a lot of people, as in people who wont whip up a perl script to do it if its not what they want, would have thought twice about it. The iPod took off in part because the word of mouth about it had nothing negative to say about it.
There's no irony at all. Slashdot is primarily a 'We hate MS, Linux forever RAH! RAH! RAH!' community. Never expect any objectiveness about Microsoft or Linux on Slashdot.
This is the worst round up ever. There is no IBM Linux, the SGI Altix is a hardware platform, not an OS though it does run a customized Linux, and Solaris is Unix, real Unix, and is a OS on its own not the 'Unix like' Linux.
If this type of analysis is why you hated statistics, its not the classes fault, you must have just had absolutely no clue what was going on around you.
You need a Video card to change it which means hauling out a monitor and keyboard at least once, where as with a Unix box, if there's no keyboard, I/O goes to the first serial port. So its still a pain to have a headless PC, even if it is technically just for the initial setup.
Why no suspicious listing? Because people are assholes and you'd have people who are selling the same thing reporting their competition as 'suspicious' to prevent someone from buying the same item from someone else.

Personally I've had more problems with IE rendering Slashdot then any other browser. Seems to me Slashdot and this colour scheme is seriously messed.

Sorry but I really have nothing better to do.

Programmer: "Why didn't it work?"
Computer: "How should I know, I just do what I'm told."

Why? For the popup blocker?

Incidentally, it seems that its poor at sealing duct work. From near the bottom of this article "Duct Tape It's not for ducts any more. In fact, it never was."

Now thats interesting.

If you've never had a bootable machine after, how did you run the uninstaller?
