Ah, The Register. Gotta love 'em. They're nice folks, but they do have a tendency to print the most inflammatory material they can find and/or cast it in the most outrageous possible light. (Their style is very similar to that of the British tabloids, only they're aimed at a more technical audience and there's no Page 3 girl. ;-) Their site sometimes has good information, but one shouldn't take every bit of their over-the-top "gonzo journalism" seriously. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
