Re: Why FreeBSD not popular on hardware vendors
Hi dear sirs! Correct please if me wrong, but as i know the source tree of FreeBSD already split into two parts - Servers-oriented (FreeBSD) and PC-BSD (Desktop oriented) ? Or team from PC-BSD is not FreeBSD peoples?

It's time to dump the Intel/Microshaft mafia forever. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and even Linux have ports to many platforms. Why stay on Intel? It's an overgrown ugly mess. We need to stop buying Intel mafiaware with preinstalled Microshaft mafiware and run a free (or in the case of Linux "apparently free") OS on free hardware. There are increasing numbers of SBCs and plenty of used servers on Ebay. They're all built better than commodity Intel mafiaware.

In 99% of the cases any Intel commodity mafiaware comes with a preinstalled Winblows. You're paying for it whether you want it or not. You can get a refund in many cases but it's more effort than most peoples' time is worth. > Nobody is forced to buy a PC. True. I got rid of all my Intel mafiaware a few years ago and I don't miss it. It's nice in the winter as well. > Doing this with PC market will result in larger market share for > non-Wintel hardware. I hope it does but sheeple are stupid and don't care. ___ 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"

Dear Numbskull, It's co-dependent hostages like you who enable Intel Mafiaware.

It runs from UEFI in the BIOS. Internet connectivity is already part of the UEFI spec. Your box doesn't even to have to be running. As long as it's plugged in, you're at their beck and call.

Re: [OT] but concerns all of us
> My assessment is still being built so thanks for sharing your thoughts on > this, Jerry Not that I paid attention to the proposal, because I decided a few decades ago governments were the root of all evil and nothing they do is for anybody's good. There isn't enough time in the universe to read and object to all the new draconian laws. The business of legislative bodies should be to constantly repeal bad laws instead of making new bad ones. But I digest... > By controlling the root servers, they could blacklist anything. They already p0wned the root servers. Look at the Microsoft case. The federales went into private server farms and set up their own boxes. You think anything goes through American backbones and the guys in black suits with no sense of humor don't know about it, and can't reroute it or DOS it or make funny things happen already? Wake up and smell the Constitution burning. The Homeland Insecurity fascists strip search innocent citizens not accused of any crime (to hell with the Bill of Rights) and they (DHS) have already taken over hundreds of domains because they (DHS) accused the domain owner of running a website that sells forgeries of legitimate products like handbags, iphones, etc. No court case, no grand jury, no due process. Just gimme gimme gimme. I'm the government, get out of my way or I'll kill you or I'll confiscate everything you own and then I'll kill you. > Aren't there enough laws already to protect copyright?
