FreeBSD is somewhat counter-cultural and anti-authoritarian, after all. The whole notion of the Christian heaven seems remarkably close to Microsoft's vision of software: everyone will exist together in this eternal utopian sameness, and they'll like it. Give me my daemons, my lake of fire, and some people who aren't too good to know what they want and don't want-- we'll have a party. --=20 Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterling@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips= .com --xJK8B5Wah2CMJs8h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMSyb6AAoJEIpckszW26+R5osIAMN3RP28uWSWZ2a/vfsE/21j 5FMMiZYoHT+etzoKXPNVC7oqV94YUyebl0jak3DTVRD7fSTSGotA8MbTeLhcQQFr RvLp75hL+y+bSMp2tYWRqbjQ6NPN342pBLlxk4eE3oaRP2/4Zw0sf2GJVoMYEeTO NwSMheiaGcnW5rscXOGDK42gGSJBU0F2udhmJUrmjhVfW6qS2NEfBQabbOEcBz0e H8mdMuYGFaec7Z0D5I+CQbSqIemRbwrqucqq0OFzFl+i7g1gNL+O6mehwzN4DwSo s8a59C8u5Myr5WbGeX1bfZ2K25a/ENX653zAMM6FCpuibHcMnOiDPpunH6j9EiM= =Ti35 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xJK8B5Wah2CMJs8h--
