What are those special features?

Independent of the outcome of this case, maybe it is time for Apple to leave their current jurisdiction. I heard Island is lovely this time of the year.

Isn't that more a description of cyberpunk than scifi?

Besides the facts that Sanddancer and thelibrarian already mentioned, I as a FreeBSD desktop user would like to answer the question in a different way.

> Why isn't FreeBSD suitable for a personal computer / desktop?

Next time you are visiting a BSDCon have a look around. What are the Systems FreeBSD devs are working with and what are the Systems OpenBSD devs are working with? It is not my intention to be polemic, but I think you will see that many FreeBSD devs (in contrast to many OpenBSD devs) are too pragmatic to use their own OS on their desktop and just use OS X.

At least that is my theory, why OpenBSD make a nicer desktop than FreeBSD -- as long as you don't need any FreeBSD features.

There is a working ASLR patchset for FreeBSD.

https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2015-07-06/announ...

So if you want ASLR you can have it. It's just not yet in a regular FreeBSD release.

It's just best practice. This is what the FreeBSD-Documentation has to say about that topic:

"It is recommended that the root user's default shell remain unchanged since shells which are not included in the base distribution are installed to /usr/local/bin. In the event of a problem, the file system where /usr/local/bin is located may not be mounted. In this case, root would not have access to its default shell, preventing root from logging in and fixing the problem."

I guess there is nothing wrong with changing the default root shell to /bin/sh, but I don't know why anyone would like to do that.

> Thrown into this mix is a new "academic-racism" definition of "racist," which requires "privilege+power" and demotes anything that doesn't fit into mere "discrimination"

Is this "academic-racism" an American thing or is it universally accepted in academia?

Yeah, tedu is a funny guy. Just for reference, here is the "real" history of OpenBSD and NetBSD: http://quigon.bsws.de/papers/2009/eurobsdcon-faster_packets/...

Just to be clear: V-Männer or V-Personen are snitches and not undercover agents of the Verfassungsschutz.

The Grundgesetz has no Paragrafen.

Not quite 4 years, but well... it still works fine. I wouldn't even expect a current android version, just patches for nasty security bugs like this one. What's so hard about that?

How is this an option? My Nexus is stuck with 4.3.

Well, the problem is: You can't enforce this rule and call yourself a Rechtsstaat at the same time.

"Das ehemalige Nachrichtenmagazin aus Hamburg" has it's name for a reason.

Popular? --> Sort by L2 speakers.

Not in Germany.

No, (in many cases) it's not the same, OpenBSD uses a giant lock.

The regular carrier-independent versions (Yakju/Maguro and Takju/Maguro) which are directly supported by Google.

Does this mean that there will be an update for the Galaxy Nexus?

That reminds me of the legendary Nils Provos and his blacksmithing ambitions: http://www.wired.com/2013/02/provos/

Here is a newer Chrome with DirectWrite enabled by default: http://i.imgur.com/yrmxzkg.png

I still prefer Firefox.

IE6 supports TLS 1.0

Cache poisoning seems to be a problem.

Ubuntu considered using launchd.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReplacementInit?action=show&redirect...

Launchd works on Linux (and xBSD) -- in the sense, that it can be ported without much effort. Systemd in contrast only works on Linux because it relies heavily on kernel features like cgroups.

I thought "lies..." was unambiguous. My bad. Next time... well, no jokes next time.

lies...
