  5. So Long Debian! on Debian Technical Committee Votes For Systemd Over Upstart · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As a current Debian(testing,Jessie) user this strikes me as a bad choice. However I am thankful that there other sane distros not drinking Lennart Poettering's brain cell killing kool-aid. So I say hail o/ to the Linux Distros not selling their souls, Slackware, Gentoo , Ubuntu thank you guys for not being retards and seeing the suckyness of systemd.

    Seems I will have to migrate off Debian pretty soon. It was a good year I had with Debian but with this it seems Debian as chosen to be a follower, a kool aid drinker and a also ran instead of being unique. Thank you Lennart for killing off another distro for me to love.

  9. Re:Good! on X.Org Server 1.15 Brings DRI3, Lacks XWayland Support · · Score: 4, Informative

    No. I just like network-transparent applications. It was one of the main draws that I had toward Linux almost 20 years ago, and is why I still use it today.

    (My home Linux boxen are all headless, and they can stay that way for all I care. If I want to run something graphical, it's trivial with X.)

    (And no: VNC is more of a problem than it is a solution.)

    Modern X(org,server.. et.el) really is not network transparent unless you are just talking about TWM mixed in with a xclock or an xterm, most modern apps and even window managers that are built on top of modern gui toolkits and/or extensions are not compatible with the basic X library which makes X network transparent. Most of what makes X tick now and days will not scale over the average network and you will be left with a lame ass system if you try. As such if you want to use your modern desktop environment over a network prepared to and plan to pull your hair out because you are relying on such outdated tech norms.

    We've gone away from science because our whole society's gone away from science. We're in a science-hostile society now, it's politically dominated by Creationists and climate denialists.

    Its funny because both Creationists and so called climate change denialists are the ones not brainwashed by the right wing world fascist elite(illuminati) to believe in things that are works of pure fiction. So it is science "fiction" is to believe in evolution and that there is such a thing as man made global warming.

    Evolution is nonsense. But so is a lot of social science and history that you currently do find in text books.

    Ultimately, if you insist on a standard curriculum for everybody, that curriculum is going to become a political football and it's going to be abused by politicians.

    Why use Linux when you could use OpenBSD? We've been running OpenBSD routers for quite some time now and their networking is far better, consistent and more robust than in Linux. Just having PF alone is reason enough to use OpenBSD.

    Why use Linux? Because Linux has a more stable, scalable, faster and more robust network stack than OpenBSD.

  18. Re:Meh on Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That's quite silly. Considering this brings back the missing features that everyone was missing like a start button and boot to desktop. This puts it on par and better in many ways than Windows 7.

    The start button does not doing anything useful. And its still missing the Start Menu, and I very much prefer Aero over the ugly flatness of Windows 8 metro interface.

  19. Re:Before AMD committed suicide on The Chip That Changed the World: AMD's 64-bit FX-51, Ten Years Later · · Score: 1

    This is why a mid-range Intel part (Say, an Intel Core i5-4670K) can handily (and significantly) beat AMD's top-of-the-line desktop CPU (An FX-8350)

    Really? CPU Benchmarks says

      i5-4670K - 7531

      AMD FX-8350 - 9091

    A comparable Intel chip would have to be closer to i7-3820, not your i5. Perhaps your benchmarks are a little crappy?

    Anyway, AMD is far more $$$ efficient for typical desktop. Yes, including any thermal envelope differences.

  24. Re: A great win for FreeBSD on PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    All I see are a couple of pictures. It starts with GRUB in one picture, which could suggest that it's Debian kFreeBSD, or maybe GRUB2 loading regular FreeBSD. Then in the next picture, someone's loading libstdc++, suggesting that Sony isn't totally against the GPL, and even then the license version hasn't been established yet.

      So basically, the idea that it's based on "modified FreeBSD 9.0" comes from one sentence on a site I've never visited. Might one of the experts here correct me? I've seen only enough kFreeBSD to run back to the real FreeBSD rather quickly, not much longer than that. Thanks!
