  1. Re:Frequent hurricanes? on US Climate Report Says Global Warming Impact Already Severe · · Score: 1, Insightful

    not at all, it's happened before. And there was this little thing in the 1930s called the "dust bowl", guess that hot and dry spell was caused by model-T emissions. And sea level rise has been going on for 12,000 years since the last ice age, and for much of that time at a greater rate than now.

    This chicken littles have lost what little credibility they might have had, it's sad because there are so many other downsides to carbon pollution that are quite verifiable in the here and now.

    He did help the BSD projects in a major way, with his gcc toolchain and other OS utils (even if some BSD later replaced them)

    Free software would be nowhere without RMS, even if he is a weirdo with bizarre views. I'm still thankful to him.

    yes, switch to OpenBSD, Theo and his point of view will certainly seem so soothing after the way RMS has treated these questioners today

    HAHAHAHAHA

  5. Re:Thanks RMS on Richard Stallman Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    I am very thankful for the vision and projects he started which have made most free software possible, but note it took others with more engineering than ivory tower viewpoints to actually make something useful of them. gcc and friends a huge example

  6. Re:Wow. What a jerk. on Richard Stallman Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    I'm not impressed with your willful distortion of what happend; RMS is from academia, and the questions used "loaded" terminology. Good teachers will define and clarify terms in an answer, and correct students.

    And no I'm not a RMS fan, and I'd say I only agree with about 33% of his world view

    most if not all states now have minimum age of 16 for bride, with parental consent. I'm surprised at some states though, New Hampshire 14 for M and 13 for F with court permission and parental consent, wtf??!! what the hell is wrong with those people?

  11. Re: YAY for BSD on OpenBSD 5.5 Released · · Score: 1

    OpenBSD does have soft updates which are optionally enabled at mount time. It also has software RAID 0 or 1, and 1 allows more than two volumes to be mirrored, kind of like a hot spare that doesn't need rebuild time.

    So it's not as full featured as ZFS, though compared to most linux filesystems the FFS and FFS2 are extremely robust at surviving unexpected power failure.

    please provide link to past years when openbsd said "they're going to do it".
    please provide link to where they said after heartbleed how great they are.

    instead, they dived in and did WORK. they have action to back up their words. ou are the one being political, what contribution to communication security have you ever made? you just shoot off metaphorical forum mouth about others actually accomplishing something, while contributing nothing yourself. textbook political-only behavior

    patching openbsd is usually this dance:

    1. wget or whatever to download the patch
