Wordstar 4.0 didn't come out until 1987. Hard drives were fairly common then, and floppy capacities were already at 1.2MB and 1.44MB. IBM started shipping 2.88MB floppies the next year.
I completely misread your comment. Sorry about that.
Short answer is, it isn't. As parent, it gets the SIGCHLD and can take action based on configuration and exit status. There is also a simple watchdog facility that depends on the application sending a "ping" to systemd within a fixed interval.
The original reason for the journal was to allow recent log data to be easily presented (i.e. without the equivalent of grepping/var/log) when running "systemctrl status ".
Implementation aside, there is significant value to having structured logging. Running a grep is fine for smaller installations, but becomes prohibitive the larger your logs grow (especially when searching through months of logs). Likewise, simple pattern matching works well in the simple case, but can failure spectacularly on unexpected input (e.g. a missing field) or on multi-line log entries (e.g. a stacktrace).
According to CDC data, there were 62 firearm deaths among children 1-14 in 2012. Considering that range goes far beyond toddler, and includes deaths resulting from negligence by older household members, your assessment of the odds seems unlikely. I would suspect that older children are far more likely to misuse firearms.
But the idea that accidental deaths are "high" in general bears scrutiny as well. For perspective, each year about 390 children drown in swimming pools. There are somewhere in the range of 32-37 million households that own guns, while only 8-10 million households own pools. Even if you don't have a pool, drowning is still a more present danger than a gun, with at least a hundred children a year drowning in bathtubs.
Other dangers lurk around every corner. Poisoning sends hundreds of children a day to the emergency room, and kills several every week. Over a hundred a day die in car accidents. Then you have fires and accidental suffocations.
TL;DR: the absolute level of risk is not particularly high.
So the main question is what the countervailing benefit is. Citing only statistics about gun deaths is disingenuous. People do not only kill in self defense; they may not even discharge their weapon. The broader measures of defensive gun use vary pretty wildly, from as low as 67,740 from pro-gun control sources to as high as 2.5 million from other surveys. The true number is likely somewhere in between, but difficult to discern because the survey data does not include all categories of crime, unreported incidents, unrealized incidents (surveys of prisoners have stated they avoided households where they suspected there were firearms), and do not reliably ask whether firearms were employer.
But even if you look at the low water number conceded by control advocates, the number of defensive uses is far higher than the total number of firearm deaths (~ 31k in 2012) including not just homicides and accidental deaths, but also suicides.
That isn't to say efforts to mitigate risks are not valuable, but the efficacy of fire arms as a defensive tool should be kept in mind. The consequence of forgetting to put on your watch should be having to ask what time it is, not being raped or murdered. Even if these sorts of things became mandatory, the kind of gun owner irresponsible enough to leave guns where small children can get at them are probably the type who will just velcro the damn watch to the gun.
Since when was a Supreme Court ruling "the Republicans"? Especially in a unanimous vote?
And the knife cuts both way here. Not only would this make it riskier for a small inventor to assert patent infringement, but it protects the small inventor from being targeted with frivolous infringement claims. The latter strikes me as a far more common occurrence.
And in the former case, the individual only incurs risk if they press a claim that is exceptionally weak or concerns an exceptionally weak patent. In which case, good. They should lose everything.
Not better in ANY WAY to ANY of them? Really? Have you never had to relink your kernel to add a tape drive? Had a tar archive corrupt because you had files paths over a hundred characters? Hit tab to auto complete on a bourne shell? Shelled out a grand for a basic ANSI C compiler? Had to explain to a client that the OS doesn't include a TCP/IP stack?
I certainly wouldn't dispute that some people make purchases they will ultimately regret. First time buyers especially will not understand what features they really care about until it is too late.
On the other hand, there is a difference between what someone "wants" and what they want. For example, if I were shopping for a car, I "want" a supercharged 6.2L V8 pushing 556HP and 551lb-ft of torque. But not for $70,000. What I want, rather than "want", is all of my must-have features and as many of would-like-to-have features for no more than, let's say $30,000. And if might just pass on some of my would-like-to-have features if I come across something that fits the needs for $20,000.
Apple is the equivalent of a luxury segment manufacturer. The value of their vehicles may actually be very good, or at least comparable to manufacturers with a more comprehensive product line. A BMW is doubtless at least as good as a Cadillac. But if you can't or won't pay the price, your option is either to buy an older model or buy a different brand. The PC market is more like GM, where there are vehicles in every segment at a variety of price points.
And you know what? Some people will buy a Chevy Sonic and be perfectly happy with the purchase. Just like some people are happy with $50 tablets and $300 laptops. Hell, I bought a new 50" television for $360 a few months back. Would I prefer a Samsung 4K set? Sure. Do I regret the purchase? Not at all. Perfectly happy not spending $2139.99 more for something that will be obsolete in a few years.
Aside from the obvious problem that LibreSSL is currently OpenBSD only with no concrete portability roadmap? There is good reason to question whether performing surgery with a machete is the most judicious response to a breach.
Sure he does. They can continue using the devices they have. Tablets are highly durable. Or they can jump ship to another platform. Might have to re-buy some applications, but if Apple doesn't cut prices with the rest of the market, the cost difference should compensate.
Apple says "No, you want a low price tag; but the computer you want actually costs $1000, no less."
HP/Dell/Acer/etc. says "We got the price down to $300! 1366x768 is 'HD', right, even on a 15 inch screen?
Customer: "No, I actually want an affordable computer. A 15" screen sounds nice, and I would like 1080p. What do you have?
Apple: "Great! We'll put you in a Macbook Pro, starting at only $1999!"
Customer: "What part of affordable do you not understand?"
Lenovo: "Hey, we could put you in an IdeaPad for $899."
Apple: "But we have 2.6GHz processor, and they only put in a 2.4GHz!"
Customer: "What part of light computing do you not understand?"
Apple: "But we put in 256GB SSD, and they use a traditional drive!"
Lenovo: "Yeah, but it's a hybrid, so you'll still get faster boot times. And you'll get four times the storage space."
Apple: "But... but..."
Customer: "Smeg off, Apple. I'm not paying twice as much for features I neither need nor want. Even if your machine is nicer now, I can buy an even nicer one in a couple years with the money I'm saving."
You can't simply dismiss one of the primary characteristics of traditional marriage, and THE primary case for compelling government interest in marriage out of hand like that.
Well, you can, but it doesn't make your argument any better.
If Eich is a "shitty person" for his position in 2008, than so is Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Bill Cliton, Bill Richardson, Harry Reid, John Edwards (okay... I'll give you that one)...
A service does not have to be comprehensive to be useful. It fails utterly if your expectation is "I want to be able to pull up any film that comes to mind." but works out well for "I want to let the kids pick something to watch and not be dinged for a $3-5 rental (or $15-20 purchase if rental is not an option)." or "I'm not sure what I want to watch right now. Let's browse around for a bit."
Disney is still bound to a contract with Starz, but Netflix will be the exclusive carrier for titles from Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel and Disneynature starting in 2016.
And Dreamworks hasn't added their back catalog, but they announced last month that they will be developing three new exclusive series (King Julien, Puss in Boots and Veggie Tales in the House) for Netflix on top of the remaining commitment for Turbo FAST. Additionally, they have exclusive streaming rights to their recent theatrical releases (Mr. Peabody & Sherman, Turbo and The Croods).
Not bad for $8 a month. That said, I would love to see them expand to offer premium tiers with additional content. I could easily see an acquisition of or merger with one of the smaller content providers, possibly a previous partner like Starz or Epix. Or possibly partnering with content owners who would retain ownership and control of their content, but piggyback off the Netflix infrastructure and subscription base. For example, a niche service like Warner Archive could become a Netflix "channel" instead of a separate service.
But in the meantime, I will continue to appreciate Netflix for what it is rather than complain about what it isn't.

Don't think iPad. Think Macbook Air with a detachable keyboard.
The "easier target" in this case is obtaining the product legally.

You don't read it all if you don't need it. You map the file to virtual memory, sure, but it doesn't get paged from disk unless you access it.

Clearly the old ways were inferior. They weren't web scale.
Word processors and editors have supported paging parts of large documents to disk since the 1970s.

It's the init system. It *is* the parent that launches the processes.
Completely different model. Classical composers did commissioned works with limited distribution.
By that reasoning, if everyone were smart there would be zero new content to torrent.

Well, you can, but it doesn't make your argument any better.
The case for traditional marriage (or of government interest only in traditional marriage) does not rest solely on religion or thinking it's "icky".
The law reads "No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees..." not "No employer shall fire..."
I highly doubt you will ever get "any major theatrically film from the last several years" or "any of the 'biggest movies all time" for $8/mo.
This is a low cost subscription model, not a rental model. Think all you can eat buffet, not fine dining.
You assume that opposition to expanding the definition of marriage is necessarily based "entirely on religion". You're wrong.
