Post #151,009 by ben_tilly 4/13/04 11:29:05 AM Reply	Fundraising for FreeBSD development Poul-Henning Kamp (one of the core FreeBSD developers) is asking for donations, and saying that if he gets them he will complete [link\|http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/plan.html\|a series of I/O improvements] by the end of this year, rather than in the next couple of years. [link\|http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/funding.html\|http://people.freebs...~phk/funding.html] Commentary from Ziggy at [link\|http://use.perl.org/~ziggy/journal/18315\|http://use.perl.org/~ziggy/journal/18315] suggests that Ziggy, for one, thinks highly of Poul-Henning Kamp's abilities. I have a high respect for Ziggy's opinions. OTOH I don't use FreeBSD. Cheers, Ben To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act - [link\|http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=1246&Page=1&pagePos=20\|Nebraska Supreme Court]

With the legal woes it's facing, that poor Bill Gates must need all the help he can get. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

You never left the free-fire zone.You think aspirins and meetings and cold showers are going to clean out your head. What you want is God's permission to paint the trees with the bad guys. That wont happen big mon." Clete questions, help? [link\|mailto:pappas@catholic.org\|email pappas at catholic.org]
