I met a guy who climbed Half Dome in Yosemitie Nat'l Park. His legs didn't function. I even got to sit in his special "seat". He was covered by the 5 o'clock news in my area (Central Valley California).
Granted, web site designers need to "remove head from ass" and write 4.01 complient code, but being disabled doesn't make things impossible, just more difficult.

Niels Provos was originaly an OpenBSD developer, and started the priv-elevation code on OpenBSD. He hasn't commited to OpenBSD in several months (current theory: fight with Theo). He commited the code to NetBSD, and Itojun commitied it to OpenBSD something like 2 days later.
Niels also wrote systrace for OpenBSD, and ported it to NetBSD.
I know a court has ruled deCSS to be in violation of the DMCA, but that was because the judge was stupid, and the MPAA was smart enough to convince him that the utility is "primarily intended for circumvention of a protection mechanism". The keyword there is "primarily".
And now it's a prior decision. Any asshole can claim you are voilating the DMCA, and if your case (to the untrained eye) looks like it is similar (they both have source code), then it is already decided, and you go to jail. Puppet trial.
OpenBSD does have softupdates. Softupdates don't require journaling during regular use. snapshots only afffect boot-fsck. FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT is getting nicer and nicer every day. =)
(now if only they fixed the bugs that broke X, it'll be "unstoppable")
BSD was written with scalability in mind. It was written for 16-bit machines, but it handles rather well on 32-bit machines. With the exception of the super-super-low-level stuff (bootstrapping the CPU, etc) it is all CPU/arch agnostic.
Also SBC does not allow the CLECs in my area to have a feature similar to Privacy Manager. So if you want to block those calls, you have to have SBC. Same with DSL. No SBC, no DSL. They don't allow the CLECs to offer the same services that they do.
I know that SBC blocking an alternate provider from....providing....DSL is illegal. I have SBC/PacBell for home phone, but my DSL is through another company. Call a DSL provider in your area, and try to get details. Don't bother with SBC, they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
I call for a truce. BSD is not the enemy. Linux is not the enemy. Hell, Mac isn't the enemy. Microsoft is the enemy. We need to prove to the masses that free software is the answer. Be it Linux, or BSD, or Mac, that doesn't matter. These stupid licenseing wars need to stop. If you like GPL for your code, then friggen license it as GPL. If you like BSD/MIT for your license, then use it. Make superior software, and support it. We need to unite. Truce amongst ourselfs, then educate the masses, don't just tell them that Linux/BSD is better, prove it.
(And for the love of God, STFU about Linux vs GNU/Linux. The MS-drones are laughing at us for that damn war.)
It was never dropped, it never existed. The rumors that you heard were from columnists, and the occasional person from Apple who thought it would be a cool academic exercise.
The OpenSSH bug was found the day before 4.6.1 was supposed to come out (or something like that). So they decided to scrap 4.6.1, and add the OpenSSH fixes, and back port more fixes from -current while they did the testing for it.
My [spambox@] is a legit address. I check it everyday. I also have [box@] that is an automatic forward to vipul's razor. I protect all of my email boxes (except the auto forwared) with spam assassin, and no spam has been overlooked. I have gotten a few false positives, but they were suspicus emails to begin with.

You are right, he is a great security guy.
It's a problem because you need to sign an NDA just to look at the licensing fees. That's the problem

Since OmniWeb is designed for OS frickin' X, it was appropriate.
Get a step ladder. To extend that analogy: the company prevents you from bringing in a step ladder.
The text-to-speach converters for the blind are their step ladders. The company in this case is preventing you from bringing it in.
Dude, you're going to jail!
Right, photoshopped girls, vs a real girl who is seen with actual people. You convinced me
It's more than an operating system. It's a way of computing.

I'd like to help her make a copy...*rowwl!*
With labels like Warner Bros and Elektra on there, I doubt that is a list of record companies that are free from RIAA.
***** is the password
between an mile and a sqaure mile.

PS. I may have spelled kilometre wrong, depending on which spelling of the word you use (i.e. kilometer)
Apologizing for spelling kilometer wrong is fine, but you should also apologize for "sqaure"

OTOH, if you don't like how fragmented Linux is, give BSD a shot. http://www.freebsd.org, http://www.openbsd.org, or http://www.netbsd.org. I personnaly use OpenBSD, and a bit of FreeBSD. But to each his own. Enjoy!

Wow, I can't believe someone who reads Slashdot didn't know about goatse.cx.
I think you're thinking of the goatse.cx guy.
I installed it on Visual Studio and now my computer keeps singing Unforgiven by Metallica, what do I do?
;-)
Probably get sued by Metallica for copyright infringement.
You must live in Daly City. We'll cordinate on hunting that bastard down. =)
