It's true that GPL is viral, but it does not infect output from programs;-)

You are overstating the size of KDE packages, relatively speaking. Most of the packages have various options (like KDE using Samba or CUPS) to help third party dependencies.
Another poster wrote that Gentoo have split up the official KDE packages into individual applications, really, I would not maintain such packages, but hey, it's not me to decide their time spending;-)
But people that complain about KDE size and them does an "emerge" does not get much sympathy from me....

Why not use the precompiled packages made by your favourite *BSD or Linux package maintainer when they are available?

With todays large harddisks this is hardly any problem, and not worth the package maintainers time to split the packages into even more packages.

If you are so concerned with waste of space, why do you build KDE and dependant libraries by yourself?

Indeed, it is sad to see such racist slurs modded insightful/informative. Just go read some stories about Green Cards or outsouring and you see that racist post are not that uncommon.
All things considered, nothing that Bush is doing will end Islamic terrorism.
If USA stops bombing civilians, respect human rights and does not commit war crimes, I'm sure far fewer will be inclined to act out of desparation as terrorists.
The harsh truth is that yes, there are millions of good people who are Muslims and do no support terrorism.
Most Muslims, like most Christians, does not support terrorism. Bombing civilians from the air is, of course, not terrorism [/sarcasm].
Look, the only way to fight Islamic terrorism without falling prey to more of it at home, and not violating the rights of our citizens, non-Muslim and Muslim alike, is to keep new Islamic immigrants out of our country.
Respect human rights, don't invade other countries, stop toppling democratic governments and install/support dictatorships, and don't exploit poor people. See? I'm sure many more people on the planet will much less hostile to USA if the above was followed.
This is not an ethnic thing as I'd have just as much problem allowing a white Australian who admitted to being a Muslim come here as I would a Saudi.
Agreed, not an ething thing, just a racist one.
All religions have violent pasts because for a long period of time, the world was a truly brutal and uncivilized place.
The world is still a truly brutal and uncivilized place. Just look at airial bombings done in Lebanon and Iraq.
A honey trap is fun to prepare, but beware of actually beeing exploited. To limit damage, it will help to put a transparent firewall in front of the honeypot and start blocking (perhaps allow a few outbound connections, and then block). You don't want your owned honeyput as a base of attack, do you? The
OpenBSDpacket filter has the needed funcionality using an OS that does not have a few local root kernel exploits a month.
This response reminds me of recent comments about Israel's "disproportionate response" to Hezbollah. The whole point of war is to destroy the enemy. War is not an Olympic event!
A country is allowed to defend itself, but it has to be a proportionate response,
otherwise it is a war crime. The Israelis are destroying the entire Lebanon infrastructure with little or no regard for civilian lives. Surely you agree that the Israeli response to Hezbolla capturing prisoners of war is a "disproportionate response".

Nice that FreeBSD imported a free driver, but I guess the Atheros blob driver is still in the FreeBSD CVS tree along with a few other blobs?
Apple is not exactly known for beeing open, except as a markteing stunt. ;-)
Dunno why Drawin decided to call quits
