Except if you're following installation directions (and for some reason not using bsd.rd, etc, to install), you would be downloading the 6MB cd64.iso, not the 200MB install46.iso. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq3.html#ISO
I wondered how they/he had tested the battery life as well.
This is one reason I am still hanging onto my 13" iBook. The ~8 hours of battery time I have yet to see in any other "ultraportable" laptop. It's still not heavy to lug around, and for anything the 800MHz w/ 640MB of RAM can't hadnle, there's always VNC and SSH to get into a more powerful machine - which it seems the MacBook Air is still relying on you having another server/desktop anyways.
...if they can't track what he's doing on Linux - who's to say they can track that he is actually not using it?
...and being "assigned" to Windows is NOT being "banned from Linux", it's being banned from everything other than Windows. Please do not ever think that Windows and Linux are the only OS people use.
This sounds remarkably like when a guy in the U.S. was "counterfeiting" $200 bills, but couldn't be charged for counterfeiting, as there is no such thing.
I have done similar things, only without the abiilty to speak, using a phone is rather difficult. Another poster mentioned something about requiring that if there's a 3-click sign-up there should be a simple, 3-click cancel. That seems like the best solution so far; if I can sign up online and never talk to anyone, what makes you think I should need to talk to someone to cancel? I often have to sent in e-mails that state "I do not have the ability to speak" to cancel accounts. I imagine raising cane about being disabled may get something done about it all.
I also imagine the deaf have the same troubles - or people without phones. Ever tried to explain to a credit-card company that you don't have a home phone? or any phone at all?
I am surprised that I have not yet seen (maybe I did not look hard enough) any references to Cosmo Kramer attempting to"cancel the mail".

so we have:
a) kernel
b) operating system
c) hardware vendor
It doesn't feel like any of those? Wow.
...but most university systems would not allow this - and on purpose. Why? Pre-requisites are required for you to take many of your last 24-36 credit hours. This is done partially so that you don't get in over your head, and also so that you are somewhat-forced to take part in college outside of just ramming your way through it. I also like how the article made it seem as if he achieved his entire degree in one year. If we're going to count AP/EA credits - but not count high school time - then I finished my first degree in 0 years.
The professors at every University I've worked for have done something similar.
They take a collection of all the notes for the entire semester and sell them in bundles at the book store. We simply called them textbooks. You didn't have to buy them if you went to class, but if you wanted to be able to avoid class you could buy it and read it.
Imagine that.
That said, I know at least 4 Florida Universities have professors who will put their notes out in PDF format for sale/download, and every state university I've ever been to has at least one professor who does something similar with powerpoint.
So you mean by 2008 we'll have reverted back to trollies and cable-cars? Perhaps people will even ride in electric vehicles that carry 30 or more people! Then everyone can get there for a tenth of the price! Oh wait, no that's a bus...
1) Take age old idea. 2) Do the same thing only with added benefit of key words. 3) Sell it as a new idea 4) Get fools to buy it. 5) PROFIT!!
...so can I still run windows on all my machines that don't have any speakers because they're office/production machines with no need for it or are they going to require a soundcard and speakers to run it?
I love how people can just "assume" you want to take part in it - and then you have to go out of your way and jump through hoops to be able to "easily opt out." It's the same thing with freaking spam mail and all other crap like that.

With your $PKG_PATH set properly, you install a program:
pkg_add program
To update a program:
pkg_add -u program
To delete a program:
pkg_delete program
To update all your installed programs:
pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends
There's a lot more utility to it, but that's more than the basics that most will need to "get them started".
For those that need a bootable CD for their system, bootdisk ISO images (named cd46.iso) are available for a number of platforms [...]. ...

The x86 install disk is less than 6MB. Maybe when they have 4GB DVD iso's available like FreeBSD they'll feel the pain and go torrents?
But I thought "one two three four five" as a combo meant "24445" no?

It's not how much time you work - it's how much work you get done in that time.
Paperboy at age 3-4 on my brother's C64, or maybe Asteroids on the Atari. Don't remember which came first but I know it was before I was 3-1/2.

Please go look into excited utterances and perhaps take a law course at your local high school. You will find that this is perfectly excusable.

Torvalds : It just means that I don't know anything about BSD technical internals, so I'm the wrong person to ask. Ask somebody who uses both.
That, and around 104 keys to bind :)
