  1. Re:OpenBSD goes overboard on OpenBSD Interview: Strengths, Tradeoffs And Plans · · Score: 2

    Did you not read afterboot(8)? It covers just about everything you've asked.

    Anyhow - why the hell would you want to go through forty minutes of saying 'Yes, I want nfsiod enabled on boot' in the install, when a simple vi /etc/rc.conf will do it? Minimalism saves everyone a lot of time. I don't want some overly extensive GUI that asks 93,000 questions. I can do that myself.

    Please, read documentation before complaining about a product.

  2. OpenBSD Journal on Slashdot including NetBSD News Channels · · Score: 1

    OpenBSD Journal got a slashbox a day or two ago. It's a fairly new site which is very helpful for those using OpenBSD.

  3. Re:Scott Adams' Motivation on The Ultimate Geek Food · · Score: 2

    While I'd rather not jump into the flame war you seem to have started elsewhere, I feel I need to comment about this. You speak as if 'trying to make money' is wrong, like its a bad thing. How so? This is a capitalist country for a reason; those with money run it. Outside of something derogatory, you don't see a broken 47 year old bum's name being spammed all over large internet sites, now do you?

    I have trouble understanding why people dislike making money so much.

  4. Finally on Anonymity on the Internet · · Score: 1

    I read the paper about 30 minutes before it made Slashdot - it's definitely worth a read. It definitely brings up a few interesting things. Be sure to read it if you haven't already.

  5. Re:Linux and C2 certification on Windows NT 4.0 C2 Evaluation finished · · Score: 2

    On the subject of OpenBSD, I'll quote Theo from misc@openbsd:

    > You know what C2 means?
    >
    > It means you have ACLs, and you log a number of > system events.
    >
    > So ACLs and syslog.
    >
    > Really.
    >
    > Oh, except you also need GOBS AND GOBS OF MONEY to get it certified.
    >
    > In my opinion, ACLs are just a way for system adminstrators to shoot themselves in the foot.

    I wouldn't look for a rating of this sort in OpenBSD.

  6. Be wary on Uncle Robin's Advice for Lovelorn Geeks · · Score: 1

    A few quick words of fore-warning: Taking the advice in this article could result in you resembling, either physically, emotionally, or both, Roblimo, which has been known to cause deep psychological problems. The shortest way out of that situation seems to be suicide or jail-time, where you can be Bubba the Axe-murder's "special friend", and lose all sense of self-conscience. Be wary.

  7. Is regulation possible? on Congressman Advocates Breaking-Up a Guilty MS · · Score: 1

    While I think breaking up Microsoft (or attempting
    to do so, at least) might be a bit overkill, how
    possible would regulation even be? So far, they
    seem to near invincible to people's attempts at
    regulating their products; what makes you think
    that this time around will be any different? Just a thought...
