Before the idea to buy a gun comes to your mind, you need to realise that you ever need a gun in that particular case which may looks quite usual and similar to others. If you meet a dog on the street, you can use the stick to get rid of, but you got unpleasant surprise if you try to use the same stick against huge bear /as you made/treat it/. Moreover, you remember that this stick works against any creature before for years. You are in danger. Then imagine that you don't ever know about guns used against animals (it is secret arcane knowledge not written in any book but spreaded as word of mouth). Then imagine that you have only few seconds to decide. [I skip the part explaining which is what in that allegory] In that situation any normal man drops FreeBSD CD in the trashcan and install Linux which don't have such aggressive illogical "protection". -- http://ache.pp.ru/
