Re: DMCA takedown notice
The fact that you even spend this much time on trying to take back your gift to the community instead of just accepting your responsibility for your own actions is impressive. And unless you sign with your legal name and your copyright notices uses your legal name as well as details of your location then your claims have no effect at all because it is literally impossible to even speculate that you are the copyright holder - let alone proving it beyond any reasonable doubt that it is the case. So if you are serious about this and not just simulating a possible angle of attack on the GPL that somebody else could take to illustrate a possible weakness in the GPL, then stop hiding behind anonymity and file an actual real claim with a court. Should your effort succeed then it is a problem with the law and not with the license. A license that grants certain rights to a copy of a work provided that certain conditions outlined in the license are met should never be revocable from THAT particular copy of the work, unless the terms of the license itself are broken. Having the possibility to arbitrarily revoke rights granted by a license for any other reason than conditions that the licensee was aware of when they accepted the license would have tremendous negative consequences and disruptions to many areas of the society. If the law has a loophole like that then the best thing that we all can do is ensure that it doesn't have it anymore in the near future.

DragonFly has a git mirror mirror of the pkgsrc cvs repository, but its contents are identical to what is in cvs. I would not classify this as maintaining its own branch.

Re: Fwd: Unified BSD?
Don't get me wrong, i am not criticising pkgsrc or intentionally trying get people offside. So aside from the obvious differences and limitations (i.e. manpower, design of each BSD system) What is stopping per say DragonflyBSD or any other BSD from using packages from FreeBSD or vice versa through pkgsrc? Or is it simply that some choose not to provide back to pkgsrc? On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 2:15 AM, John Marino net...@marino.st wrote: On 12/4/2012 16:07, Martin wrote: Sorry forget that last message.

The package count of the two systems is basically affected by lifespan (ports existed first) and manpower, so don't read into this. Ports has about 24000 unique packages, pkgsrc has around 10,800 unique packages (about 2000 are duplicated with multiple python, ruby, php combinations). The user has the option to stay on the branch suggested at the time of the release, or can migrate as he/she wants. In the case of DragonFly, it was catching up with fixing broken packages for a long time, so migrating to newest quarterly is generally recommended. I would say pkgsrc serves to standardize the systems that use it. I could install pkgsrc on OpenIndiana as an example and use the same software on that platform.

Re: Unified BSD?
No offense Ignatios Souvatzis but your reference to Minix being a 7th BSD distro is like saying FreeBSD (or any of the other major BSDs) is another Linux because of its inter-compatibility for certain user-land components and various shared code. Minix has a minimal amount of NetBSD code and most of it being userland tools and package management. The actual core of Minix is totally different to NetBSD; MINIX is a microkernel and NetBSD is a monolithic kernel being a major difference. Mac OS X i can understand but again the core of OSX is based of Mach 3, FreeBSD and OPENSTEP, with a lot of modified code (more like BSD's 2nd or 3rd cousin). Although with that i suppose it depends on how you are defining what classifies as a BSD distribution. If your going of whether they have used any source from BSD then your going to be hard-pressed to classify one that isn't BSD. However, i was assuming you were going of the core of the system (i.e. how much source if any is used in kernel space). Which brings be back to what i was talking about in an earlier post. If you want to make a unified BSD, it would be easier to create a new BSD which at the core (i.e. memory management, IPC, I/O, etc...) is based of per-say NetBSD, i only chose NetBSD because it has what i believe is cleaner code than the others, and is structured in a way that would make it easier to modify and move components. Sure it wouldn't be true to the roots of an actual unified BSD that is based of 4.4BSD lite and has a mesh core of OpenBSD, FreeBSD NetBSD, but my point isn't about 4.4BSD lite or creating a true unified BSD down to the core (where all BSD developers work on one project). My point is about the possibility of creating a new BSD project (with separate developers) that aims for 100% compatibility with at least FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and maybe DragonflyBSD. Your suggestion i would think is possible, but only by being realistic about it. Using an already stable kernel and then modifying it where necessary to make it compatible. lol, that's just my 2-cents about it. Hell the idea is more possible with the BSDs than it is with Linux. I wouldn't even consider trying to create a unified Linux. Linux is such a jumbled mess, that i wouldn't want to go anywhere near a project trying to un-jumble it with a 10ft pole, as it would take about as long to un-jumble it as it would to finish the same idea on BSD. I like Linux but if your talking about a project/s being unified, BSD is leaps and bounds ahead of Linux. So while Linux is doing better in terms of popularity, BSD has a far greater potential for more than Linux, just because each project has made such a strong base foundation and is so well organized. :D On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 9:45 PM, Ignatios Souvatzis ignat...@cs.uni-bonn.de wrote: On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 10:08:08AM +0100, Joost van de Griek wrote: On 12 Nov 2012, at 21:37 , Robin Björklin robin.bjork...@gmail.com wrote: Am I bat crap crazy for thinking it could be good to merge the four largest BSD variants out there, take the best bits and pieces out of each and create a Unified BSD?

Re: Unified BSD?
The reason was actually intellectual property based between ATT and the proprietary BSD/386 if your talking BSD4.4. That was the core reason for why FreeBSD and NetBSD started. So really it isn't that crazy, more highly unlikely that your going to get the core developers of each project to abandon years of work to start again on a unified BSD. It is a cool thought, one i have thought about. Which is why i reckon your far more likely to get support for a new BSD system that takes the foundation of one of the existing BSD's and create a project that aims for compatibility between the major BSD players. At least then its not like restarting.

Why I dislike flash: o It often adds little or nothing to a website, most things can often be achieved with either CSS or Javascript (or a combination) which suffer from much less problems. o Flash is not usable, for example it often breaks the back button, find in page does not work, setting font size does not work, and many more. o Browser settings such as font size, enabling/disabled sound in web pages etc. do not apply to flash, leaving the page's designer, not the user, in control of the browser. o Flash is not accessible, screen readers, braille displays etc. often have serious difficulty accessing flash pages. o Progressive enhancement is difficult to achieve with flash, unlike for example CSS or Javascript, flash is binary data which interacts poorly with HTML. o Flash is not supported on all operating systems, and only on a very limited set of architectures. o Flash is slow, if you do not have a new $1000 PC but a somewhat older office PC flash can be a serious performance hit. o There are a number of security issues with flash, and Adobe has never seemed to quick/concerned to fix them. o Animation is annoying, I want to access information, not watch a cool animation.

What bothers me is that all these probes, scans, spams etc still succeeds in some cases, otherwise nobody would be doing them. As long as people click on spamlinks and leave their systems open to automated intrusion, we will have to live with this kind of behavior. But, as you say, it is a damn waste. I think it's just that I pine for better days. Just 5 years ago, this behaviour was restricted mostly to Windoze systems. 5 years before that, the notion of net-wide evil traffic as a constant background noise was far fetched. And just 5 years before that, 15 years ago, the notion of loads of background evil traffic was, as far as I recall, appalling. After the whole of that spam episode, combined with several spikes in local ssh-bruteforce attempts... I just felt despondent. I still do. It seems like the whole 'net has gone to hell in a handbasket. So as I said, I pine for better days.

BSD4.3 Greatest piece of software according to informationweek.
http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=191901844 So there you have it: The single Greatest Piece of Software Ever, with the broadest impact on the world, was BSD 4.3. Other Unixes were bigger commercial successes. But as the cumulative accomplishment of the BSD systems, 4.3 represented an unmatched peak of innovation. BSD 4.3 represents the single biggest theoretical undergirder of the Internet. Moreover, the passion that surrounds Linux and open source code is a direct offshoot of the ideas that created BSD: a love for the power of computing and a belief that it should be a freely available extension of man's intellectual powers--a force that changes his place in the universe. Something to say to the linux-thugs who believe that linux is _THE_ perfect operating system! ___ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't trust your employees, fire them and hire someone you trust. I don't see any offensive material...? Anyway Daniel is absolutly right here. You should of seen the things we figured out to get around filtering at school, even the lusers managed to do so... I work in a small company, six employees at the moment, and everyone has his own workstation. We've got several do's and don't's, and they are broken on a regular base. We've had people using MSN (even though chatting is allowed, but not with the MSN client) downloading movies, even replacing the legal, paid for version of windows with their own illegal downloaded one (beats me why someone would want to do that...) I suppose we can start blocking stuff, what would the result be? People will spend even more company time on personal things, trying to get around the blockade. Besides, how harmfull is it? As for your kids I believe it's better to allow them full access to the internet. Like Daniel said, your kids will get around the block anyway. don't want the kids to learn any four-letter words from the 'Net before the age of majority [wish me luck!]) I think it's better to learn your kids those words yourself, and explain that it's not very nice to say them. They probably have learned them already. I've been a boyscout leader for a couple of years, 5 to 7 year old kids, and each and every one of them knew not just a few, but the full range of words already. And when it comes to pornographic or violent material, it's probably best to have a chat like Daniel said, and skim through the history list every now and then. When they really want to see naked ladies, they will, at their friend's, or they'll buy a playboy, lots of alternatives there. ___ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A simple rc.d emtry to load the module will solve this. Or compile it in statically.
