I'm not a big fan of OpenBSD but I don't think you quite get it. On the same ftp server where the distributions files are kept you have access to the same cd layout file used to make official cd's is right there for you to use and make your own. You can distribute this all day long, you can't call it "official." Same for the official cds. You can copy and give them away all you want but they are no longer "official"
"If Microsoft's final offer fails to satisfy the regulator, or if the company does not make its submission in time, the commission will write a formal letter to the company, outlining its concerns."
A formal letter? When did the world officially lose all its balls.
Unfortunately $5 million a day to Microsoft doesn't really mean much. A real way to get their attention would be to tell them comply or peddle your crap OS elsewhere.
did any of you bother to read my initial post? to generate an error 1 all you have to do is attempt to build a port where they have not bothered to update the dependencies in the last year or so. Not hard to find on OpenBSD. As soon as it hits the server and the distfile is no longer there (no shit its a year old) it errors out.
Mod me down all you want. Its only a troll if it's not true. I tried OpenBSD at version 3.3 and while the install was extremely simple the ports system was horrid. 9/10 ports failed to build and of course only gave me the infamous "ERROR 1" (for god sakes is there even an ERROR 2?) conveniently printed across the screen multiple times to cause the real information to scroll right off the monitor and be absolutely useless. After a few of these I started piping the make through less and found it was not even a build error but OpenBSD pulling down a dependency so old and out of date it no longer existed on any server, anywhere. Then a good look at the documentation and nope theres no cvsup -L 2 ports-supfile goodness to be had here. OpenBSD ports have to match the version because so much extra crap has been stuffed into this fish's ass in the base system.
Attempt 2, brand new 3.7 download still hot from burncd. Still the same simple install gotta love that. Went straight to/usr/ports/shells/zsh as some of us prefer to have a real shell available on the system. Suprise welcome back my good friend ERROR 1. Brand new system, fresh ports and it can't even build a shell for the same reason 3.3 couldn't. Anyone who can handle this kind of crap has more patience and time on their hands than I do. My FreeBSD servers, workstations, and desktops, have absolutely nothing to worry about.

After all the insane things Microsoft has done, I think we're way beyond fair play here.

ROCK ON DJ8!! Gotta go...finishing up my tin foil wallpaper job.
ahhh yes because FORCE_UPDATE will magically make the mirror administrators put the tarball back on the server....dumbass
If you really need it that quick just use the release made available from mozilla.org and run it locally. Can we have some common sense please?

Never seen ERROR 1? Anyone that has ever used any BSD has seen this, although on Free and Net it is a rare occurence.
I'd also hardly call a new dual P4 with 1.5GB RAM broken hardware.

The MPAA probably posted the torrent themselves and are sitting back grabbing everyone's ip. Screw em, downloading anyway.
