Of course, I'm completely wrong because we're not even talking about a

Dennis does something along the lines of building wan cards and selling
them for a number of systems, including FreeBSD. The ironic part, of

There's nothing context-insensitive about libdialog. Pressing enter doe

Currently, upgrading packages is more painful than it should be. However,
it would not take much work to make things significantly more friendly -
1. pkg_add - when a package is installed, it should check for an older
version of itself, and if the new version provides everything
Printing out the whole path to the kernel all the time in syslog messages is
a bit redundant and ugly, especially seeing that it isn't done for any other
binaries.
Should I send-pr this thing too, or is just sending it to -hackers enough?

No worries, you just forgot the 's' at the end ;)
The site is still there, it's just "uptimes.net" not "uptime.net".

If there's any truth to this assumption, there's probably a much bigger
problem at hand, such as all of their networking is borked. It's kind of
hard to determine what's going on with such a general statement.

can *bsd do kernel-space ip port forwarding?
thanks.
