    But outside of there 3 exceptions, it's basically only people complaining and whining, and not much effort to actually avoid systemd and propose another alternative.

    Systemd *has* been bullied into distributions, systemd *is* a bully to other parts of the system.
    What response to bullies do you propose?

    Mac?
    Windows 7 is simply Microsoft's best operating system ever. Mac fanboys should worry and circle together in defensive posture.

  6. Evidence on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1
    OS decay really impacted Windows XP performance, which can be reproduced by installing initial XP, SP1 and SP3 from CD.
    • IE6 notoriously slowed down browsing with large cache (>500Mb).
    • SP1 performance/stability issues with drivers, requiring more memory
    • SP3 requiring more memory still

    This is without crapware, anti virus using only Microsoft drivers.

    The issues around anonymizing your data and removing PII are taken very seriously. It's damn frustrating, because I often look over the data for user 234209342349 and think, "I wish I could email this guy and ask why the hell he is doing that".

    Wanted to add - if you have 1700+ pictures (like my wife).... your phone will bog down. Make sure you have the space on your phone. iPhones do notoriously get slow when they start running out of space.

    I realize one could rob any courier service, but with drones it's going to be dead-simple unless they start building in all kinds of security measures but thus limiting the capacity/range/... of the machine.

  18. Re:Key is non-programming skills on Ask Slashdot: Minimum Programming Competence In Order To Get a Job? · · Score: 1

    Exactly this. It's worth mentioning that your interview skills are more important that your actual programming skills. Sad but true.

    That competence based view certainly is a power play movement of the last 10-20 years, eagerly used to scale down technical work to manual labor.
    In any case, remember that skilled craftsman are always wanted for -- at the end of the day, it boils down to both you and your employer walking in agreement out of the door

    Sure. Human body is:

    1% everything else and of that 1%, 93% is potassium et.al. and of that 1% is Whopper, that is how little Whopper is actually within your atmosphere, and Whopper is a necessary ingredient for human life. Google Whopper franchises and you will see what they have for sale to increase body growth in loins and liver. More Whopper = more you.
    But seriously, blabbering BS may buy you time in financial crises, you cannot outsmart exponential human growth.
