    Didn't know we had human created global warming before the industrial evolution...

    "We" the human species have the choice how to influence our world, for the good or the worse.
    Blaming your genes you couldn't resist doing the obviously bad thing sounds a bit silly.

    We are smart enough to be the dominant species but with this comes the moral obligation to keep the world as healthy as possible, otherwise it wouldn't take "mother" earth to give another species dominance.

    My bets are on the cockroach btw.

    You are offending my believes by giving the daemon a label of bad and satanic.
    I believe in helping spirits being neither good nor bad nor other predefined state.
    The good/bad state depends on what _you_ ask the spirit to help _you_ with.

    How would you feel if I would demonize your believes? Remember that your public expression of religious believes may offend somebody else there believes.

  19. Re:Dragonfly is the King of BSD SMP on Jeff Roberson Begins FreeBSD SMPng VFS Integration · · Score: 1

    I think your referring to 1.0 and not stable, but indeed there are a number of ports just plain broken or having unexpected behaviour.
    Although I have not met them yet (but me is not the best example).
    Perhaps you should indeed wait until another "full" release before trying it another time.

    >>"DragonFly will really get off the ground once they make a clean break and import things from FreeBSD instead of the current method that comes across more like using FreeBSD as a crutch."

    FreeBSD 4 and 5 have indeed (just like NetBSD and OpenBSD) been used for source importing but the last couple of month I have got the impression that there are more busy with fixing the partial mess and doing the layering for the true innovation what is taking place right at this very moment.
    IMHO the last couple of weeks it has been truly exciting to follow the mailinglist and watching the progress and potential folding out.
    I have every reason to belive that this will continue to do so.

    I like BSD systems and I am specially interested in DragonFly, but I use OpenBSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD too. I administer XP,2003, Solaris and sometimes Linux, I am concidering to get a mini-Mac to get some MacOSx knowledge.

    Every OS has it strongs and it weaks perhaps its the trick to use the right OS for the right situation (still learning that though).

    A note about the grammatics, english is not my first language neither my second so please don't let the spelling distract you from the meaning.

  20. Re:Dragonfly is the King of BSD SMP on Jeff Roberson Begins FreeBSD SMPng VFS Integration · · Score: 1

    "Dragonfly 1.0 is not really a complete OS"
    I'm not running 1.0 but stable (well from a couple of months ago) but I wildly assume that you would think the same about it.

    So in that spirit I could conclude that I'm posting this from a non-complete OS on my notebook via wireless using X.org and mozilla. What is your definition of a complete OS?

    DragonFly will do anything FreeBSD 4 & 5 does, except for native ath perhaps.
    Give it a try, dowload the latest stable live/install CD ,play around with live and if you like use the same to install or leave it if you don't like it.
    The only thing you could loose is some time or interest in the other OS'es ;-)

    "Their" is a correct correction, "they" IMHO is not, that was a reference to a place/position. Fine example that you could read english, know the grammar but not understand wat it all ment.

    This phrase has often be used to describe the MS Windows - Gnu/Linux relationship.

    It seems to mee some of the Linux zealots forgot there heritage.
    Forgot that Linux is just a kernel without GNU.
    Forgot that there could not have been there, where there are now, without the BSD licensed software.

    Perhaps the usage you seek is not that what this machine is intended for, it's a Mac for J.6pack and not for industrial design or that sort of work.
