I can see that; thanks for summing it up.

The amount of rhetoric in these two paragraphs is amazing; I literally
cannot tell if you're trolling with anti-FreeBSD propaganda, or if
you're trolling with pro-FreeBSD propaganda. Congratulations, you've
confused at least one reader.

Wrong on both counts. I'm just using the appropriate tools for the jobs
that need to be done. And on the desktop FreeBSD just plain sucks in
comparison to Mac OS. And after all, Mac users need FreeBSD - who else
should provide them with all the nice things from ipfw to the user land?
Would you really expect Apple to do it all on its own?

Face it: The real difference between servers and desktops is the "who
has to bend over"-question. Servers are adapted to the software they
are going to run while on "personal computers" the software has to adapt
to the machine ("I want that shiny Sony. I don't care if the hardware
sucks, it's beautiful."). And Chuck is quite definitely lacking at
bending
over...

You just did it again -- anti-FreeBSD propaganda and pro-FreeBSD
propaganda in a single paragraph, followed by an oddly-skewed
server-to-desktop comparison, something about computer cosmetics, then a
strange comment about the beastie/Chuck which seems to be negative but
could be positive depending on how you look at it.
