The book was fine , but I found the show unwatchable . <| sep |> pfSense and distro ' s like it do indeed have a sort of gateway drug quality to them . For me it was messing around with smoothwall express 2 . 0 boxes back in the day . Of course , I was already a breakfix tech for a few years but it was really fun to setup a powerful homebased router . <| sep |> Which is exactly why Jimbo won ' t do it . I understand why he won ' t make that statement . But it would make all of this go away . Sure some crazies would still talk about it , but beat reporters won ' t have to cover it . <| sep |> Thats the dumbest degree ever . <| sep |> I ' m not even a bucks fan and I wanna ensconce this in my own room <| sep |> Complaining that you have to teach your application to talk to a specific compositor is like complaining you have to teach your application to talk to a specific kernel . You can ' t expect a lowlevel application written for Windows to work on Linux . No , but I can expect that if I write a highlevel application e . g . a screen recorder today and tomorrow there is a new kind of kernel , and that kernels replaces the current one in my operating system , then my high level application still works .
