   I would argue it's not a proper market place, fantasy or not, without such ability. (meaning, whatever values or data that comes from this is of near zero utility without the ability to short)

   you're both being downvoted because you're both completely wrong. it turns out permissively licensed, security-focused, and easy to maintain code bases aren't easy to find outside of OpenBSD. so sometimes they have to write t

   I imagine you could use one of the various streaming replication solutions to avoid the "halt" part. pure speculation on my part, however.

   yes, it's really neat. then the more you dig into it the more you realize literally everything and the kitchen sink is patented to all hell and back. best of luck using any of it without a large team of expensive lawyers.

   please do not link to calomel.org. OpenBSD takes great care to have clear, concise, accurate documentation available both on the system and on the web. link to the man page! calomel.org is filled with...ignorance, to say the least.

   considering you wrote a book on OpenBSD many moons ago, you'd know that the only things that get attention are the itches /developers/ scratch. since you seem to be happy not being apart of the OpenBSD "world" (aka

    you're right on quite a few things, but bhyve is no where near production quality -- alpha at best. and openbsd has a wider and stronger support of wifi cards.

    the PF available on FreeBSD is woefully out of date. If you use FreeBSD regularly and don't mess with pf, learn ipfw. it is quite powerful and much more performant.

    I'm wondering what the chances of any other BSD being supported are...? Dragonfly? Open? ...Net? :) edit: after actually reading TFA, it seems unlikely. Well, it seems like Dragonfly is most likely, if any others.

    can you suggest any further reading on oracles legal prowess in this regard? sounds like an interesting read to me, but I'm unsure where to find it.
