  1. Re:Upgrade path from 4.x-STABLE to 5.X-STABLE? on FreeBSD 5.0 RC3 Now Ready · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yea, super easy.

    make buildworld
    make buildkernel
    make installkernel
    rm -r /usr/include/c++
    make installworld
    mergemaster
    reboot

    (Check UPDATING for more precise instructions.)

  2. Re:I vote FBSD 5.0 as the best vaporware in 2002 on FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 Almost Ready · · Score: 1

    only 3 months? I suppose the year delay before that doesn't count.

    Before you think I'm a retard, why don't you look it up. I'm tired of doing research for people.

  3. Re:Offending Mail servers ? on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 2

    They are not innocent. They are open relays, and deserve the punishment.

  4. Re:Err, Maybe It Should Be Terminator 2.5 on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 2

    Director1: Yeah! And maybe she can be a lesbian and seduce ...
    Director2: Ummm No.


    What do you mean no? Not a fan of the ladies, are you Trebek?

  5. Re:I'm sorry - but he was an idiot in the first pl on MacAddict Tracks Down eBay Scam Artist · · Score: 1

    But I thought Canada was just a state in the US? Don't you guys have USPS? Wierd.

  6. Re:It's not as bad as it seems... on Sun vs. OpenBSD? · · Score: 2

    Um, you're the one being the clown. Sun claims that SPARC is an open architecure. They also claim that the US3 is part of SPARC. Now, if your big shoes don't get in the way, you can follow the path that will lead you to belive that since US3 is part of SPARC, and SPARC is fully open, then Sun needs to release the documents for the US3. If it is not open, then Sun needs to say that.

  7. Re:Tsarkon Reports: More from this Shit Project? on Stack-Smashing Protection Added To OpenBSD gcc · · Score: 2, Insightful

    StackGuard is only currently implemented on x86

    Hmm...then how come I have it on my OpenBSD/macppc system?

    As for GCC3, well, check http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp/statu schart.html

  8. C'mon, give the poor guy a break on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 2, Funny

    He was just trying to overclock his Athelon.

  9. Compilers do this all the time on Fun With Wine · · Score: 1

    Compilers are considered to be somewhat mature, when they can compile themselfs. Kudos to Wine and Cygwin for managing this.

  10. Re:Embarassment on Review: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets · · Score: 1

    The second book (and therefor the second movie) is the weakest of the series so far. Don't sweat it. I'm really looking forward to the 4th one, to see how they handle all of that.

    Yea, that Quidditch match was way to long, but I think that was a merchandising ploy to get kids to buy the Quidditch equipment.

    He is a very powerful wizard, but he also has friends who will assist, and protect him. If you went out and did something stupid, wouldn't you like to have friends save your ass? They are all powerful in their own ways, but Harry is the best at magic.

    Go read the books, you will be pleasantly suprised (esp the 4th, it is one of the best books I have read).

  11. Only at work on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 2

    And at work, I have to use windows, since we have a draconian "IT" department, and we have propriatary applications that I have to run.

    At home, I run BSD exclusivly. Free and Open are my trees of choice.

  12. Re:Bill = William? on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Why should I change, he's the one who sucks!"

    -Office Space

  13. Re:Tinydns is a pain in the ass to install on Bind 4 and 8 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No, it's secure because no one has ever found a flaw in tinydns. He has a *cash* reward for anyone who can prove that it is flawed. No one has taken then money, in several years of it being offered.

  14. Fine, they want to play dirty on EMI Customer Relations Tells It Like It Is · · Score: 2

    I won't buy any more Music CDs.

    Unless of course they are not copy protected. Most of their music sucks balls anyways.

  15. Dunno about OSX on Is Mac OS X Slow? · · Score: 1

    But OpenBSD 3.2 is rather speedy on my TiBook. Some problems in the support (not very popular OS, on a not very popular machine) but they are being improved. http://www.theapt.org/openbsd/tibook.html

  16. Re:Even worse than the feds bugging the library on FBI Bugging Public Libraries · · Score: 2

    You ARE reading this as anonymous coward aren't you? Oh, you're not? Irony is funny, except when it's not.

  17. Re:"Insert Joisey-joke here. " -- NOT FUNNY on Boston TV Signals Disrupting Police Radio in NJ · · Score: 2

    Right. Cause you don't make fun of southerners, canadians, or the french.

    I live in San Francisco. I'm not gay, no dick goes in my ass, and I have a girlfriend.

    You can make fat jokes about overweight computer programmers as long as they are funny. Not funny, and we'll have Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park sit on you while he "debugs" you. (Please note: any lack of humor in the previous joke was intentional)

  18. Re:Still won't boot above 8 Gig on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 1

    3rd party tools let you boot above 8G. There is experimental code that will let you boot above 8G, but there aren't enough testers avaliable.

  19. Re:what happened? on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 2

    For a while there I wasn't sure they'd ever get another release out

    Every 6 months, right on schedual. There was a release last May, one last December, the June before that, December before that, etc, etc, etc.

  20. Re:Where are the background pictures? on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 2

    Nope, they are embedded in the source for XF4. You have to run OpenBSD to see them. (Hint: they are #ifdef'ed)

  21. Re:I'm waiting on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why? So it runs slower and is less secure?

  22. Re:Oh my god! on Yahoo Moving to PHP · · Score: 1

    Nobody expects the SpanishInquisition!

  23. Re:The other part of the question... on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1

    True, but OpenBSD works rather well on PPC. Only problems I have are related to special hardware (laptop) or endian-ness problems with people's code.

  24. Re:The other part of the question... on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1

    What the hell is runlevel 5 in FreeBSD? FreeBSD has single-user mode, and multi-user mode.

  25. Heh, nice censorship on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Reporters without Borders is censored at my work. Nice irony. =)
