Cheers, --=20 Christopher=20 TZ: GMT + 1h GnuPG/GPG: 0xE8DE2C14 =20 FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE #1 r256184: Thu Oct 10 19:12:54 CEST 2013 cjr@dijkstra.cruwe.de:/usr/obj/usr/home/cjr/media/src/freebsd/base/stable/9= /sys/GEN_WDTRACE=20 =20 Punctuation matters: "Lets eat Grandma." or "Lets eat, Grandma." - Punctuation saves lives. "A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and leaves." - Punctuation teaches proper biology. "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
