NetBSD

noun - primary one

NetBSD is one of several Unix-like operating systems stemming from the BSD4.4-lite release of the Berkeley Software Distributions.

Originally derived from 386BSD, on April 3rd, 1993, NetBSD (along with FreeBSD) later had to reimport their developments in March of 1994 to the BSD4.4-lite base after the settlement of a lawsuit between AT&T's USL and the University of Columbia/BSDi.

NetBSD has since moved to become one the most highly ported operating system in the world, running on more than 50 platforms.

Currently working towards the 2.0 release, tentitavely set for this spring, NetBSD is at 1.6.2 for it's stable release.

NetBSD was used for the base for the development of OpenBSD, a security focused BSD that runs on 11 platforms, when co-founder of the NetBSD Project Theo de Raadt was forced out of the core development team for personality and opinion differences.

noun - primary two

The NetBSD Project, the organisation that manages the development of the NetBSD operating system. The group that was responsible for registering NetBSD as a trademark and is charged with defending it.

Even though OpenBSD was started because of a fight between developers, NetBSD and OpenBSD freely share code.

Fox never says anything good about Democrats, that's because they are Fixed News.

Good News, Everyone!

A frequently used phrase by Professor Farnsworth, from the television show "Futurama." It is usually exclaimed to a group of individuals

The meaning of the phrase is often ambiguous. It could, literally, mean that the person speaking the phrase actually has good news. Alternatively, the phrase can be used to mislead people about what would be considered, "bad news."

Farnsworth: Good News, Everyone!
Bender: Uh-oh, I don't like the sound of that.
Farnsworth: Youll be making a delivery to the planet Trisol...
Bender: Here it comes...
Farnsworth: A mysterious world in the darkest depths of the Forbidden Zone.
Bender: Thank you, and goodnight.
