FWIW, this may not have been an intentional update. Someone added some politically incorrect stuff to the FreeBSD gallery page recently: Microsnot Corp. -- We at Microsnot make a killing off of stealing idea's from small independent software companies, and we love our jobs. But most recently, we decided we are going to take over the world. Hell, I'm already the richest man in the world, and with all our buddies from the government to help us, we shouldn't have any problems what so ever. Oh yeah, I would like also to thank Mr. Clinton for the tax break last year. We use FreeBSD to run all of our important servers, because our latest scam, known publicaly as Winblows 98, crashed on natioinal TV. We tell everyone we have the bugs out, but we still don't take any chances. Thanks FreeBSD, its people like you with good ideas that keep us going, we couldn't do it with out you. - William Gates (founder and CEO) Is that Category questions down their really nessary and what the hell is Non-Profit?
