Oh my gods how funny it would be if all they sent was "How are you", and 40 years later all they got back was "fine, and you?".

FYI, distrowatch donated the money they made from ads to a handful of open source projects, among them FreeBSD.

As long as we are at it, here's the analysis of how the freebsd hackers handles the lb problem
# I wonder if the brains are wired for specific bases, like base 10.
We like it because we have ten fingers. Other civilizations have had other number systems though. The Mayans used base 20, since they had 20 fingers

You have pasted this troll before, have you not?
obviously a black hole. Mars must have been stuck in the opening trying to enter.
