  1. Re:Okay, I'll bite. on FreeBSD 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Theo was one of the 4 founders of NetBSD. Lets include ALL the facts people.

  2. Re:dont bother reading on Canvas 7.0 Coming To Linux! · · Score: 0

    2nd?

  3. Re:2.4... on Glimmers From The 2.4 Horizon · · Score: 1

    OpenBSD has had full USB support for a few months now...

  4. Re:a couple of things. on Bob Bruce on the BSDI/Walnut Creek Merger · · Score: 1
    First off, BSD needs more then anything a bigger more involved community. I'm an avid BSD user and am rather disgusted that the ./ posts are so low.

    How can you substantiate this? The BSD community is by far the most active by scale.

    when ./ posts a .00000000001 upgrade to the freaking linux kernel you sheep come out droves.

    Amen to that brother! Slashdot is VERY Linux-centric. Just look at the way the ignorant zealots flocked to the Slackware story over this. Stigma is all that matters rather than maturity and performance. Anything that is remotely BSD is crucified on slashdot plus most BSD users avoid slashdot because of its one-sidedness. if you want the current BSD news check out OpenBSD Journal, Daily Daemon News, FreeBSD'zine, FreeBSD Diary, FreeBSD Rocks and OpenBSD Explained

    At first much of the BSDI codebase will remain proprietary. It will only be freed as it is integrated with FreeBSD. There are some parts of the codebase that cannot be freed because the code was written under a contract that does not permit disclosure.

    According the Karels the only thing that will remain proprietary is the kernel...for now. And a lot of the things they can't just put under a BSDL comes from things under NDA's.

  5. Re:In the beginning on Walnut Creek CDROM And BSDi To Merge · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD is hardly optimized for the sparcs.

  6. Re:A newbie question... on FreeBSD 4.0 Code Freeze · · Score: 1

    >


    I don't even know why I'm dignifying that statement. So next time a remote kernel panic is found I guess that means nothing and only a dogma of an underservingly popular OS does. And the make -j bug was something moot anyways, only applicable in a very few situations that would only affect developers really.

    It sounded like he was asking about BSD as a rhetorical insult. Go learn to read.

  8. Re:4.0 Everywhere on FreeBSD 4.0 Code Freeze · · Score: 1

    The CompUSA in Altamonte Springs, Florida carries The Complete FreeBSD not to mention umphteen Lin-doze distro's.

  9. Re:Good on Sun will sell Redhat 6.1 Sparc version · · Score: 1

    Coming to it's senses? Looks like we have another mindless Linux zealot. Sort of being used to this kind of garbage on /., just getting lamer every day :(

  10. Buy the CDS! on OpenBSD 2.6 released · · Score: 1

    Fags? They rip us off? By charging a mere $30 for the CDs? Ergh, I'm mad at myself for even dignifying his childish comment.

  11. Miguel is a moron. on Miguel de Icaza's startup · · Score: 0

    http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archive/openbsd- advocacy/199907/msg00009.html He's almost as stupid as JP and CPM but he actually is lionized!

  12. Whining about TCI on VDSL Demoed · · Score: 1

    TCI is THE WORST cable company of all time! Horrible service, exaggerated prices, disgusting quality, and incompetent workers. I live right across the street from where TWC offers cable TV + Cable Modems but on my side of the street TCI has the rights to. No one has cable modems and we pay 3x as much for crappy cable with less channels. We get like 20 spanish channels yet I don't know any one spanish who watches cable tv! Cable modems are over-rated anyways. Thank God I live close to a Sprint CO and that they just dramatically lowered prices for adsl.

  13. Ignorance at it's best. on Which BSD? · · Score: 1

    That's very descriptive on what your problem was that was causing the kernel panic. Maybe you were spilling coffee or sacraficing a goat to Linus over your box.

  14. Re:MTV should stick to what it does best... on MTV's Hacker Portrayal · · Score: 1

    Since when does MTV show any good looking girls in tight clothes? All they show are the BackDoor Boys and Mambo #5. Now unless you're a peter-puffer MTV isn't for you. MTV has sucked for years and it will continue to suck.

  15. AOL Password Stealing has been going on for years. on Password Thief Ransacks AOL · · Score: 1

    I don't see what the big deal is? Back in my AOL days (3 years ago) I use to do this all the time from other webmail accounts. Sometimes you didn't even have to attach a PWS and could just talk eloquently from a Juno account and they'd hand it right over.

  16. Sick of idiots on slashdot on Telnet into Dreamcast? · · Score: 0

    Did anyone try to access the web server and see what was open (if not exactly what happened)? What about the two "NetBus" ports? Is there a version of NetBus for WinCE (or whatever Dreamcast runs) that I don't know about? If people are concerned about telnet insecurities, wouldn't NetBus be a larger risk? 3) Has anyone attempted to brute-force their way through telnet, or any known exploits for the other protocols to check against a faulty implementation? OMG! I can't believe anyone would say anything that stupid! You obviously don't know your bum from an ostrich.

  17. Re:Some reality... on Apple announces the G4 · · Score: 1

    how can you say it's playing catch-up? that's totally unsubstantiated.

  18. Re:BSD is cool on Is FreeBSD really 'The Other Linux' · · Score: 1

    Ordering the CD's has to be the best way to go. They're only $30 at most and help contribute. If no one did we wouldn't have these great OS's.
