Theo De Raadt Says FreeBSD Is Just Catching Up On Security

An anonymous reader writes "The OpenBSD project has no reason to follow the steps taken by FreeBSD with regard to hardware-based cryptography because it has already been doing this for a decade, according to Theo de Raadt. 'FreeBSD has caught up to what OpenBSD has been doing for over 10 years,' the OpenBSD founder told iTWire. 'I see nothing new in their changes. Basically, it is 10 years of FreeBSD stupidity. They don't know a thing about security. They even ignore relevant research in all fields, not just from us, but from everyone.'"

Now, if...

...only OpenBSD would catch up in every OTHER category...

Yeah

Good old Theo De Raadt.

Half human, half cunt.

Pretty sure whoever wrote "House" was looking at Theo and thinking "You know... that fucker could make a great TV show character". Of course it was probably followed by "but screw that IT crap" but whatever.

It's like saying "you can always port or build other software on GNU/Hurd". It's a broadly true statement, but a surprisingly meaningless one.

He's often "technically correct".

You are aware that that is the best kind of correct, right?

[gman003]

Technically, yes.

Indeed. You can have my public key. What are you going to do with it, grant me access to things? THE HORROR!
