Comment Re:Got my CD in the mail a few days ago (Score 1) 143

...hostile user community and theocratic leader...

I've observed the OpenBSD attitude as being anything but religious in most cases, at least compared to FSF/GNU folk, and far closer to the laudable `shut up and hack'. The community may appear hostile, but successful users need to have initiative rather than being spoon fed. `RTFM', or a milder equivalent, is often the best way to encourage that.

Comment Re:The Insecurity of OpenBSD (Score 1) 143

That article has been posted several times on *BSD mailing lists and is hardly relevant to the release of a new version.

I wonder if an article criticizing the security of Slashdot's darling OS, Linux, would receive such positive moderation on a release story.

Comment They'll always be copied (Score 2, Insightful) 895

Even with the new CD protection, it is still trivial to copy the contents of CDs.

One simply needs to connect the "analog" output of their CD player to a recording device (PC w/soundcard) and the protection can be circumvented.

As long as we are allowed to hear the music, it will always be copied.

There is no way of preventing music piracy short of bolting headphones to peoples heads!
