A 37-year-old Colorado Springs man was cited for discharging a weapon within city limits after shooting his Dell computer 8 times with a 9mm handgun. The police report said that he "was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months" and shot it in a back alley behind his home. What was not mentioned is exactly why he was so "fed up" with his computer. Could this senseless and violent tragedy have been avoided if his PC were running Linux instead?

I actually checked on OSX, which you might think would share some DNA with FreeBSD in that respect. But it looks like the FreeBSD usage came along after NeXT/Apple borrowed parts from BSD.
Even so, it appears that Apple incorrectly included 32 (SIGTHR) & 33 (SIGLIBRT) in their signal man page for at least one OSX version (10.3).
Live free or fuck off and take your naïve Libertarian fantasies with you...
