    And the reason for including libmicrohttpd is so that people can get http access to their log files. This is only used by the journald gateway deamon (so not by systemd at all) and also only if you explicitly enable it with "systemctl enable systemd-journal-gatewayd.service". I think you have to practice your Google-fu a bit there pal.

    So Bukkit is licenses with something else than the GPL? Because there is nothing in the GPL that forbids you from linking with propietary code like the Minecraft Server, it can only be applied to code that links with the GPL:d data, not the other way around.

    So is this some failed attempt from Wolfe to open source the MInecraft server by somehow implying that Bukkit and and CraftBukkit can not be legally distributed unless Mojang relicenses Minecraft Server?

    Asus might say that but they still allow updates via their built in EasyFlash2 utility that can read the firmware file from either a USB-drive or from the attatched disks. I myself always put the firmware file in /boot/efi/ and from there it's quite easilly reachable from within the UEFI itself.

    And we really need "Kalman filters" on our phones? And there is no way in hell that one could filter out the noise level produced by audio (which must be extremely low) and still give enough resolution for the Kalman filter ?

    Something tells me that this could quite easily be fixed by filtering out "noise" from the gyroscopes before presenting it to apps. There can hardly be a use case for this finegrained details from the gyro except this one of course.

    That's not the ones I'm referring to. A small percentage of the populous have a genetic disposition to be alcoholics without needing large amounts of alcohol.

    I hope that you understand that you can get lung cancer and be an alcoholic from moderate smoking and driking right? Excessive drinking can increase the risk of beeing an alcoholic but it is by no means a necessity.

    And as a side note, do you believe that people who started using drugs did so in order to be addicted to it? Or could there be a whole world of other reasons why they did that?
