Journal Journal: SectionTFSH/ThreeFarthingStone is Dead

I, SectionTFSH, also known as ThreeFarthingStone, am now dead. This means I will not be making any more posts to Slashdot, Gentoo Forums, or Zynot (new tiki-account was pending).

As I recently obtained OpenBSD, some will take this as confirmation of the BSD-is-dying (or BSD-causes-death) theory. This is not the case. BSD and *BSD are not responsible for this death. No computer operating system caused this death.

Even though OpenBSD is a derivative of BSD, they have taken off the BSD copyright as well. Their /etc/termcap file says the same thing. So does the one on many Linux systems. (Look for it in Caldera Linux?)

# COPYRIGHTS AND OTHER DELUSIONS . . . The BSD ancestor of this file had a standard Regents of the University of California copyright . . . Some information has been merged in from a terminfo file SCO distributes . . . This file deliberately has no copyright. It belongs to no one and everyone.

THE PARTY OF SINUL
A New Parody Episode 4

Long, long ago in a network far, far, away...

The power of the Flag Empire seemed unstoppable. Their forces crushed the freedoms of countless worlds. The Rebellion was forced into hiding.

The entire remaining force of the Rebellion lay hidden on the remote lunar land of libc-5. Meanwhile, Brathe Fill was pursuing Rebels with the secret weapon in order to find and destroy the Rebels. (Sound familiar?)

Journal Journal: Portage Wars 2

The Gentoo Linux distribution has forked. That's news for me, because I happen to be running Gentoo right now. The GWN (that's the Gentoo's official Weekly Newsletter) dutifully informed me of the fork, and I hurried off to the Zynot Foundation's web site to see what was going on. What will be the effect of the fork on portage - Gentoo's package manager?
