    "Put down" does not mean fired, guess again. Hint, it's a phrase for a specific action in farming and veterinary clinics for animals which are incurable or too expensive to cure.

    it's not capitalism if you enslave someone, it's something else. That's one of the lies of our time, calling wall street fat cats and banksters capitalists. They are enslavers and parasites, and buy lawmakers to keep us from having capitalism.

    no, human body is very fragile. People with arms and legs bound and being tortured have committed suicide by biting their own tongue off and bleeding to death.

  11. been watching DragonFly for five years on OpenBSD 4.9 Released · · Score: 1

    It is quite exciting to see an open source OS dedicated to providing the foundation for shared resources and a single system image for clusters. The goals of that project are usually accomplished with very expensive proprietary software, the Hammer fs is one huge such milestone.

  16. Re:real science on Forging a Head: The Upside of Scientific Hoaxes · · Score: 1

    CRU cherry picks its methodologies, in this case to "show" the time-averaged graph to fly above the 1998 peak, rather than NOAA essentially flat within statistical noise. So we had a warm spike in 1998 over the last 145 years (if lip blown hand shaped thermometers are to be believed for the old records), big deal.

  17. Re:What's the point of dragonfly again? on OpenBSD 4.9 Released · · Score: 2

    DragonFly is still being designed, but the stated end goals are 1. Single system image clustering 2. providing multiple isolated environments in userland, 3. providing highly available clustered filesystem with multi-mastered mirroring/backup, de-duplication, snapshots

    actually, various unofficial rc.d projects by various people have been available for openbsd for at least 10 years including port of the netbsd one. Most OpenBSD users say "ick" because of the normal use of OpenBSD...

    OpenBSD primarily gets used on boxes with very focused purpose, so just a few daemons to manage and I'd rather have single file to control them than runlevels and rc.d

  20. Re:missing some key features... on OpenBSD 4.9 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    why, they're not necessary. The flags for starting a daemon are in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local, and the pid of running daemons are in /var/run or use ps ea for them. Simple and clean with no cruft is why I like OpenBSD for applicances and routers so much.

    it doesn't matter if program is reducible to mathematics, only that a claim for a software patent might be valid if it contains "a mathematical formula [and] implements or applies the formula in a structure or process which, when considered as a whole, is performing a function which the patent laws were designed to protect" http://www.bitlaw.com/source/soft_pats/final.html
