A high-school education may well have been the differentiator, but that's not important right now. Journaling filesystems are not known for speed. EXT2 will probably outperform ZFS as far as NFS servers go. -- Speed "Will" Gonna Be The Differentiator ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Why Clang

What a lying sonofabitch. That is not called freedom. That is called "forcible, viral open source". I think we can all see the difference. Open your motherfucking eyes, communist goofball... > A programmer who does not want to raise this barrier will > typically use the BSD license which is "more free". No, it's just plain "free." > BSDL in opposite is often criticized a "rape me license". No, it is not, except perhaps by lying atheist Marxist bastards and his religious adherents. > It explicitely (!) allows creating derivates in a closed > source manner.

Now you got it! GPL is about forcing people to do what /you/ want and BSD is about letting them do what /they/ want. Let's see if you can guess which one of those licenses is about freedom. Hint: freedom is not defined as forcing people to do what you want. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I have no idea what everyone is on about. I just program my own PROM and make my own motherboards. Now back to reality, most people don't know how to use openssl. They don't want to break the seal on their PC and void the warranty. They don't want to play with jumpers. They don't know how to use Linux fdisk or BSD disklabel. They can't set up their BIOS. They may not be the typical BSD or Linux poweruser but they represent most users. And sadly even a significant percentage of BSD and even a more significant percentage of Linux users (thank you Ubuntu) aren't capable of doing these things. > > And if they really were that dumb, there's Gigabyte, Asus, Msi, > > Supermicro, Biostar, etc who will not be so dumb and will soak up > > all the remaining sales gravy. We're going to see if that happens but it won't. The WinTel Mafia controls more than what you think and these vendors know they get many magnitudes more money from selling Windows commodity shitboxes than they ever will from all the BSD and Linux users multiplied together. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

But I'm sure you feel better after getting it off your chest. Still, that doesn't have to do with two major corporations conspiring to butt-fuck the consumer. At most it involved one company.
