Seriously - you believe the phrase "it's not you, it's me" ever spared anyone's feelings?

It's not you, it's me. I don't like you!
I find that statement a lot more honest (and funny),

DragonFly 2.4 Released 73

Posted by kdawson on Friday September 18, 2009 @10:34AM from the four-wings dept.

electrostaticcarrot writes "DragonFly — that fourth major BSD — has had its 2.4 release. The 'most invasive change' is the addition and usage of a DevFS for /dev; building on this, drives are now also recognized by serial number (along with /etc/devtab for aliases) as listed in /dev/serno. This is also the first release with a x86-64 ISO, stable but with limited pkgsrc support. Other larger changes include a ported and feature-extended (with full hotplug and port multiplier support) AHCI driver (and SILI driver based on it) originally taken from OpenBSD, major NFS changes, and HAMMER updates. A pkgsrc GIT mirror has also been set up and put in use to make future pkgsrc updates quicker and smoother. Here are two of the mirrors."

I'm tracking NetBSD -current. Reboots happen when there is a new feature I want to try out or when there are important security updates.
I would probably say something like once every two weeks to once every three months.
I do have an UPS and power failures long enough for shutdown are very rare.

And there is syntax highlight for ABB Rapid robot programming language. I sometimes need to program these at work so it's the reason I have it. It's not that expensive either.

I have been contemplating writing Rapid syntax highlight for vim but never gotten around to it. So I wouldn't mind if someone else did :)
