You consistently prove the need to skip over your messages, it's not just the devs that are tried of reading your strange conclusions. Do you really expect help when you exaggerate and incorrectly use terms so often? You might try going back and reading all of your messages that you sent to this list, without reading the replies, and without thinking about the issues you're trying to solve... just read the way you come across on this list for a year. Matthew's well selected quote hit it right on the head, and added a hint of humor to this really sad thread you've started.

I did search those lists and found nothing -- most everything referred to baud rate, and I've checked that up and down, and it jibes. The flow control -- I haven't seen that mentioned.

The fact that they won't, isn't the same as saying they can't. Do we really think this product couldn't be built within budget with full BSD license compatibility? Once they signed up corporate sponsors, I doubt they fought very hard or looked to competitive suppliers for more open solutions/licensing. Why must they give up the openness of the project so eagerly? I don't recall reading anything about how the OLPC project would have shipped already, except that they wanted more open drivers that they couldn't get Mike

It's the American way. Sorry, but when the company is in America, these are the current laws. I don't see how hi-jacking the thread to show that you don't like America or it's laws is going to help with getting drivers for a Hifn card working better. And I don't recall being asked what country I wanted to be born into. Perhaps you were. Trying to get something changed for the better, not trying to push US laws down anybodies throat. If changing US law was as simple as bitching about it in here, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the volume of mail. Michael

That > discussion lead to a great deal of uninformed speculation and > unflattering statement's about Hifn's unfriendliness towards the open > source community. I would like to set the record straight. Mr. Cohen, Perhaps you can talk to your legal counsel and actually break out the documentation needed for these open source drivers into a separate and truly open to the "general public" anonymous download site. I doubt that the documentation that is being requested by developers is putting you in violation of US Export Regulations. Your customer's locations can be tracked through the distribution network of your chips and devices that you already have in place. OpenBSD is not selling, reselling, or modifying your products. Nor is OpenBSD asking to download drivers or other source code that you may provide to others. I understand it's very easy these days for attorneys to just say put everything behind your registration only access extranet to be safe. This is not acceptable and, in my opinion, is not open to the general public like you stated. It might take some effort on your part and that of your legal counsel and compliance officers to keep the open source community happy and the US Government off your back, but I think you'll find it will be worth it in the end. You obviously care how the people reading this list perceive your company and products or you wouldn't have written that letter; now please take it a step further in the right direction. Regards, Michael Scheliga

Re: using torrents for packages?
How does all this noise help the project? Of course all mirrors and sites are busy right after a release. ...but I haven't heard anybody ask for any additional mirrors or great ideas. I'm pretty sure if this were indeed a problem Theo or some other well known dev would ask for help.

Re: OpenBSD 3.9-stable (not current) install?
Unless you pre-ordered a CD, the release goes up on ftp sites on or right before the release date, hence "release date" is used.

Re: openbsd web site design proposals (from HOTO write bad docs)
Just for the record, there are many, many silent users that have used OpenBSD and followed misc@ and other OpenBSD lists for years and years that are getting really tired of the handful of "common users" that keep clogging up these lists with total shit. While I feel people like me should read rather than post opinions and requests for change on this list, I'm so tired with non-devs making STUPID posts that make it seem as all non-devs are total morons that don't deserve support or even to run this OS. However, my request is a new mailing list for these people. I think we need [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not in the I.T. industry but use it for a home router/firewall as a learning experience. I'm so, so happy with the way things are run that I just had to post this. Nick or anybody else that seems closed to input is 100% correct in my opinion on this and other recent issues. Not because I'm trying to kiss up, nobody here knows who the hell I am, or could care less... and that's the way it should be! When you get a reply of something to the effect of "it's the way it's going to be" perhaps, that's why this project is better than the others. If you don't feel it is better, then why are you wasting your time with an OS that's sub-standard? You're not trying to make things better by doing this; you're trying to gain attention/respect in a way that is non-deserving in the eyes of this poster. "Put up or shut up" doesn't mean to clog the system with un-needed crap that you think will gain you points. This anger is the result of many, many threads that have appeared lately and not in any why just a reply to this one. End of rant. Mike
