Cali just does it quietly. Delaware is harping about how they've got 50000 people covered while California has quietly built farms which power 1.5 million. We've got plenty of mountain passes and the like that we really don't need wind farms on the ocean.

What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? 203

Posted by Zonk on Thursday November 01, 2007 @02:32PM from the new-footloose-and-fancy-free dept.

blackbearnh writes "OpenBSD 4.2 was released today, and has a host of new features. O'Reilly's ONLamp site has a pretty thorough overview of the release. 'Even though security is still there, this release comes with some amazing performance improvements: basic benchmarks showed PF being twice as fast, a rewrite of the TLB shootdown code for i386 and amd64 cut the time to do a full package build by 20 percent (mostly because all the forks in configure scripts have become much cheaper), and the improved frequency scaling on MP systems can help save nearly 20 percent of battery power. And then the new features: FFS2, support for the Advanced Host Controller Interface, IP balancing in CARP, layer 7 manipulation with hoststated, Xenocara, and more!'"

Submission + - Michael Geist Sued for Defamatory Blogroll

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday May 29, 2007 @05:22PM

An anonymous reader writes: Michael Geist, the well known Canadian law prof and columnist, is apparently being sued for a defamatory blogroll. The suit apparently claims that Geist should be considered the publisher of a libel because his site includes a blogroll that links to a site that in turn links to a site that contains some allegedly defamatory third party comments. At this rate, Slashdot will presumably be sued for linking to Geist who links to a site that links to site that may contain a defamatory comment.
