But seriously, it was a nifty read. Kinda nice to see what's coming down the road for the BSD folks. I know they still haven't reached 4.5 yet, and I wonder what impact this will have for other projects. Meaning, how much of OpenBSD is related directly to FreeBSD, as in codebase-wise. Do changes in the main branch for one affect the other, or are they wholely autonomous? Also, OS X was based on 3.2, and we're presently seeing the 4.x branch of FreeBSD in production, with 5.0 coming in the near future. What are the chances of some of this awesome new technologies being worked into the OS X and Darwin sources ...

And props on the ferret thread comment. I enjoyed it, at least. Tue, 19 Feb 2002 06:55:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? I wish they'd interview Rob Hubbard, his much more talented relative. Tue, 19 Feb 2002 09:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? I loved the ferret thread concept ... makes me wonder if there's been something like it running around for years in the various machines I've worked on Tue, 19 Feb 2002 13:05:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? I also thought about Rob Hubbard when I read this

What has he done ? Tue, 19 Feb 2002 19:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Rub Hubbard composed music for games (at least) in the 8bit era.
W.A.R. was such a game for the C64 I can remember.
Is this Rub Hubbard the same as the founder of Scientology and SF author? Tue, 19 Feb 2002 21:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? The founder of scientology was Ron L. Hubbard. Tue, 19 Feb 2002 22:04:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread?
