CFLAGS were just "-pipe", I changed it to "-O -pipe", and I have myself a fresh, and I must say awesome, FreeBSD 7.0 install running. This is the smoothest upgrade of FreeBSD (or any OS) that I have ever done.

You think? The last thing they need is a ton of people making transactions of various sorts to plug the logfiles. Further, the less this gets out, the less chance of it being exploited by uninformed black hats!
But they only compress to about 50% so a CD full of them could only hold two albums instead of one
I used FLAC for a while, and I found that it compressed rock to about.75 of original size, and G'd up thuggin' west coast gangsta rap to.60 of original size. I assume that rap compresses better because it has much more redundancy, that is, "wut wut wut" and some bassline will compress better than your everyday rock song.
In terms of cpu draw, I found that ripping a CD was not CPU bound when using FLAC, but limited to the speed of the cdrom drive. Even still, PC cdrom drives can process the audio off of a CD on their own (See grey cable) which is a testament to how little processing raw PCM data must take.
You don't need another Freenode. There is no relevant reason for this new network. Freenode works well, and most of the users are intelligent and helpful.
What makes an athletic company any more suitable for a shirt than an OS?
Clothing and athleticism complement one another. Clothing and computer software do not.
Also, when you reach that time in your life where you sleep with a real carbon-based woman, and she sees your NetBSD boxers, and you tell her that it's a UNIX based OS, she won't want to play with your Jibba-Jabba anymore.
Does anyone actually wear clothing like this? I personally can't stand big logos or clothes that represent a non-athletic company, geographic location, or event, no matter what the logo is. I just can't picture myself ever wearing clothing about an OS outside of my toolshed, or at some that-os meeting.
I can understand a mug, a coaster, or a bumper sticker (on a beater pickup), but a shirt? I think it would be better to make things that actually relate to an OS, like a computer chassis, or those hard DVD covers, or _something_.
If I got OS-apparel as a present, I would wear it when I am working on a vehicle, or working in the yard.
Hopefully Matt Dillon and his team of developers can come through for us, and make a great OS that meets the hype. Currently, I feel that DragonflyBSD has a high sticker-to-horsepower ratio, which is not so much the fault of the developers, but rather the fault of a large pack of fanboys having premature ejaculations over an OS that is by no means finished yet.
Years ago, FreeBSD fanboys said that FreeBSD's SMP implementation was going to be the best the world ever saw. Now, those same people are saying how much it sucks, and that DragonFlyBSD's is the boss of the boat. How about instead of all of this talk, we let the installations speak for themselves? FreeBSD is approaching a fully mpsafe kernel (albeit somewhat asymptotically) and I continue to be impressed with each release of the 5.x series. DragonFlyBSD has had one release, and it looks fine, but fact of the matter is, it's just not finished yet. I'm getting a little tired of all of the talk. Show me these DragonFlyBSD machines making water into wine. What we are dealing with is the classic "penis size" argument, and yet no one has brought a ruler to the scene.
I hope that DragonFly _does_ trounce FreeBSD in both performance and useability, so that I have a new OS that is greater than the greatest. I'm just going to wait until it's finished and showing it's stuff before I start playing with myself.
Haha, no I didn't think of that. However, if you saw the car that it goes to, you would see that it could probably be broken into with a spoon. It's a ragtop, so if you know how to undo a button, you're in. However, once you're in, you'll find that the battery is disconnected, and you can't pop the hood to reconnect it (in decent time) because it's a reverse-opening hood.
It's people like you that give the F/OSS community a bad name
How do you figure? How do you know it's all F/OSS software that I was referring to? By posting on Slashdot, do I somehow instantly represent the F/OSS community? I don't think so. What I do think is that I get to use good software for as long as I wish. Go me.
This is why I keep _every_ that application that I have ever used. For example, Calamaris, a really nice squid stats generator, has fallen victim to software patent bullshit, but I still get to use it.
Obviously, the affected applications are never going to be patched or updated, but it's still better than nothing. I will continue to do so, regardless of legality.
I am yet to see any concrete evidence that DragonFly is currently any better then FreeBSD in terms of performance, or anything for that matter.
I believe that the greatest saying I have ever heard is "put up or shut up." DragonFlyBSD has not done this yet. Until a solid, QUANTITATIVE benchmark between FreeBSD and DragonFly has been made, every claim about DragonFlyBSD's success is premature, and a waste of people's time.
Don't tell me that it's 10% faster. Show me. Show me this earth-changing code in action. I want proof, not an ad campaign.
I have gotten a few complaints about Firefox, of which few are even remotely valid.
I always make a specific effort to not force things on people. The only reason I get to telling them to use firefox is when they rant about spyware or whathaveyou from IE. However, once it's installed and not a verbatim IE copy, some of them start to pout and say that it's stupid. They don't like how "Copy Shortcut" is now "Copy Link Location," and so on.
Firefox is certainly not perfect, but from _my_ vantage point, the only people that have complained about it are the same people that can't figure out how to use Windows Explorer instead of My Computer, and have no idea where C:\ is. I am _not_ a zealot, but I do have a bottom line, and these people are below it.

If your current setup is working, don't bother switching. FreeBSD is great (I use it on 3 computers), but there is nothing that will blow your mind.

Your post is a little short; I trust you have a longer writeup on a blog somewhere?
You could just boycott TCP/IP; it sure would make me happier!

Yes, let's fucking buy everything instead of being creative.
I would like to welcome Open Source Journalism. I can't stand it when I open a newspaper and the damn thing is in some proprietary format!
Count on an AC to know what needs to be done to a long, fat pipe.
How about the same logo, with a submachine gun, a big dick, and a burned cross around his neck?
Seriously, people need to stop being such pussies. Beastie kicks ass.

I think I just found the most advanced, compact, yet inexpensive automotive security system ever. I managed to get a photo, which is here.

None of your links refer to DragonFlyBSD, which is what I was referring to.
And at that its 2 processor scaling is something like 60%
Link please.

I agree completely, unless the user does not read/speak English natively. Although, in this case, that may not be very relevant.
