      Round trip Calgary to Tokyo $978.00

      (As of today on flightnetwork.com. Everyone else on the plane would probably pay something different.)

        I just picked up a pair for $759 from United, connecting through O'Hare. They're giving them away (but probably not for much longer, so if you're still on the fence, NOW's the time to get the tickets).

        I'm planning on making a full trip out of this, so if anybody's down for some extra-conference sightseeing/dining/drinking beer out of vending machines/ninja fighting/whatever, keep me in the loop

    I know this is way off topic, but does anyone know if the older NetBSD logo is based off of the same picture as was used for the movie 'Flags of our Fathers'?

      It's pretty obviously based off of the photograph of the US flag being raised on Iwo Jima by US Marines during WWII, which is among the most iconic images in the US.

      Which, to answer your question, is the photograph (actually, it's in color, so it's probably a still from the movie of the same) you refer to.

        I'm not American or much into anything historical for that matter; pardon my ignorance in this respect.

        Thank you very much for the clarification and insight into this. Very interesting!

        Regards

          I assumed that you weren't an American, thus the exposition :)
