No, you're misinterpreting things. The analyzed DNA is from 5, 4 and 3 thousand years ago, at a time when there are suspected to have been no Celtic speakers in the Isles. Speakers of the Celtic branch of languages began appearing in the Isles far later than that (probably around 600 BCE).
This DNA would have not been representative of the DNA of the people who brought Celtic languages to the Isles. Similarly, the people who brought Celtic languages to the Isles are not necessarily representative of the current or even the populations contemporary to their times (minority languages can become dominant as was the case with Hungarian).
This only tells us about the population's genetics, but it doesn't link it to the Celtic language group.
And the word "piracy" has been applied to unauthorized copying of books since at least 1735. I own an old copy of the London Magazine that contains the usage.
So the biometric information used to identify an individual can't be stolen? How is that possible? I can change a password, and I can replace a hardware token.
I've had the same experience running my own pair of iRedMail servers in FreeBSD jails. It was easy to set up, and not hard to secure. I haven't had trouble with spam so far, and it has allowed me to migrate off of gmail. Setting up failover took a little work, though.
Another anecdote: I had the same experience with my new Gigabyte laptop. OpenBSD 5.6 supported the hardware better than FreeBSD or Linux (Qubes-OS, which is based on Fedora). I ended up running OpenBSD on my laptop and FreeBSD on my servers: one leased physical box with lots of jails, and one hosted VM for redundancy.
I'd like to run OpenBSD on my servers, but acquiring the dozen or so machines I need for service separation is just not cost effective or resource efficient.
I do know what you mean there. After getting pretty much everything else I wanted working well I looked for a VM solution and was a little disappointed in the dev's attitude toward VM tech in general. I understand it but don't have to like it. :-)
I've used Linux for years and am only recently checking out BSD so I just kept Debian around for most of my servers.
I do like the new, very simple, httpd in OpenBSD though, been playing with that a lot lately.
If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt[1] at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release.
Thanks, I will check that out. Based on some comments he made in the past I thought hell would freeze over before Theo went that route! I can't find the original kernel trap post at the moment but it was pretty, um, Theo. But I think it's at least 7-8 years old now so I guess times change.
The x86 landscape has changed a bit between that post and the recent video linked upthread, though (e.g. addition of a bunch of hardware protection instructions aimed at virtualization), which might have led him to reevaluate.
It's a P25W with 16 GB RAM and 3T SSD (I dual boot with a Steam-only Windows install). I don't care about the nvidia card in OpenBSD-- the Intel card works fine with xfce. I haven't figured out how to make the internal speakers work, but I use headphones pretty much exclusively anyway. Linux has trouble with the trackpad, and both the internal wired and wireless NICs fail to work under FreeBSD.
Cory Doctorow also put together a well-written account of his views in the recently published "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free: Laws for the Internet Age." He covers DRM, copyright, publishing, the music industry, etc. The book's target is aspiring artists, but the general audience will find it valuable as well.
