Yep, the developers magically do more in the 6 months preceding 4.0 than the 6 months preceding any other release. That's definately how it works. We've been holding back about 50% of our work for each of the previous 4 releases, and now we are going to throw all those very large things into

This was beaten to death five years ago. What happened after the 2.9 release? Using a little logic it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out... Plus it is in the OpenBSD efficiency model too! Typing 4.0 is shorter then typing 3.10. That's 33% more text to type. My finger would be tied each

No no not wrong, indeed I didn't talk about being positive. But being prime is being positive (should have said it I agree) and have EXACTLY TWO different divisors. And if 1 were prime you wouldn't have only one unique decomposition in prime numbers ;) (for exemple, is 45 = 3x3x5 or
