Amtrak Train Derails In Philadelphia
An anonymous reader writes: An Amtrak train has derailed in Philadelphia, injuring at least 50 of the roughly 240 people on board. The train was on its way from Washington D.C. to New York City when it derailed around 9:20pm local time. Former congressman Patrick Murphy, who was aboard the train, said, "It wobbled at first and then went off the tracks. There were some pretty banged-up people. One guy next to me was passed out. We kicked out the window in the top of the train car and helped get everyone out."
Sure. Right after we fix your grammar.
There should be a systemd story here every day. The impact systemd is having on the Linux community, and the open source community, is without precedent. It's the kind of thing that should be getting constant coverage here at Slashdot, yet we hear almost nothing about it.
Systemd is revolutionizing (and not for the better) how each and every major Linux distro fits together. Not only is there the technical aspect to it, but systemd is dramatically changing how contemporary Linux distro projects are organized.
I mean, we're seeing Debian, one of the largest and most stable of all of the Linux distributions for around two decades, being absolutely destroyed, technologically and socially, by systemd.
Comparatively, systemd is a much bigger issue than SCO ever was. Systemd is much more harmful to Linux and open source than Microsoft ever was. Yet for something that's having such an impact on Linux, we're hearing next to nothing about it here at Slashdot. Systemd should be getting coverage above and beyond the coverage that SCO and Microsoft got in the past.
While systemd, which is indisputably the most news-worthy thing happening to the Linux community, goes almost unreported, Slashdot still manages to report on minor local incidents like this one, as well as so-called "social justice" issues.
Slashdot should do the right thing and focus on systemd. It's an issue that we need to look at, and we need to discuss. And we need this to be done right away.
In other news, the passengers were placed on buses to complete their trips. They arrived a day ahead of schedule.
Wow, Ruby really does suck. I'm sticking with PHP.

My God... you're such a chemisty NaZi!

Well, for starters, zinc is Zn, not Zi, so it's not going to be NaZi no matter how you arrange the atoms.
