An IRC network founded around 1999 by a guy named Rob Levin, who started with good intentions but became a money-loving whore after he learned he could get donations from people stupid enough to donate to the network. Eventually more people got sucked into this facade, and the network grew. After Rob Levin died, Christel Dahlskjaer took over and made things a little better (but not much). On the whole, the network is still run by power-hungry IRC operators who can't get jack shit done, as shown by the extreme backlog of GCF requests.
People who are insane enough to develop for FreeNode are notoriously bad coders who spend their days smoking meth. Almost paradoxically, FreeNode has closed-sourced many core utilities such as Idoru (though nobody wants the code anyway). The devs also are famous for forking ircd's into piles of useless garbage that only morons who know nothing about IRC would run.
Anyone who has a respectable project that wants a host for their channel should consider hosting it themselves or on OFTC, rather than use FreeNode's "services."

2. Eliminate target with no hesitation.
3. To kill someone with disregard to Law or Political hostilities.
"Within the fictional world of Splinter Cell, this unofficial Fifth Freedom allows an operative to disregard any law, agreement, or framework of ethical behavior in order to accomplish his mission. As Dermot P. Brunton put it, "all means are acceptable." For example, the operative may kill in combat or by assassination, may torture or kidnap people, may deploy on U.S. soil, and may spy on other U.S. government agencies. Fifth Freedom is also used as a verb. To "Fifth Freedom" someone is another way of saying to kill someone." - Wikipedia, Fifth Freedom.
NOTE : The Fifth Freedom is unoffical, but many use it in war and in personal situations.

Get the FreeDoom mug.A relatively small city located in Northwest Illinois. Sadly enough, Freeport is the biggest city in Stephenson County and the population was 26,443 at the 2000 census.
In 1858, the second debate between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas took place in Freeport. Whoop.
This city has been named Pretzel City USA, although there is no longer any pretzel bakery OR factory and there is more than one high school in the US (hell, in Illinois) with a pretzel as the mascot.
This town is full of hicks, potheads, and 'gangsters'.
Freeport has a high rate for teen pregnancy and STD's, because the teenagers located in Freeport have nothing better to do than have sex with each other. In 2009 alone, 246 cases of Chlamydia were reported. Gross.
Freeport's main attraction is the Walmart. Other than the wonderful 24-Hour Walmart, there is nothing to do and nowhere to go.
