Anybody familiar with Cameron's abysmal record, especially when it comes to countering terrorism, knows that Cameron is desperately trying to shift the blame away from his own incompetence.

Because Microsoft pays better. Just business, nothing personal.
During the OOXML, Microsoft was caught red-handed giving bribes to European officials.
When somebody sticks it to Microsoft, Microsoft often uses the same tactic against it's competitors. Remember Europe saying MS had a monopoly? A few bribes later, and viola, MS competitors have a monopoly.
No wonder US born developers are becoming an endangered species. This is spite of the non-stop shortage shouting.
Look at the job ads. Employers are looking for college degrees, and five years of recent, professional, verifiable experience. And employers will settle for nothing less, even as wages stagnate.
SystemD is to Red Hat what OOXML is to Microsoft. They can claim it's "open" but really it is a vendor lock-in scam.
SystemD is a decision made by a few some execs at a for-profit corporation. It is absolutely not something the community was asking for.
I am sick of this Microsoft-like "the decision has already been made, why are you arguing? SystemD is inevitable, just accept it. Because we say so. So FU take it and shut up."
I am sick of the astroturfing bullshit constantly insinuating that SystemD opponents are just "haters" and a tiny handful of "UNIX grey beards."
SystemD is nothing less than a hostile take over of Linux by Red Hat. The entire scam is right out of Microsoft's playbook.
IMO: the article is wrong. Many of the reason that systemd is hated are technical. And those technical reasons have expressed, and then ignored, many times.
> You seem to be speaking for "the community", but I don't see any hard numbers suggesting that the majority of said community actually shares your opinions. Just because many voices cry out and cry loudly, does not make those voices representative of anything meaningful.
What about the other way around? SystemD advocates constantly try to dismiss those who criticize SystemD as a tiny handful of UNIX greybeards. I have yet to see any evidence of that being the case.
It very much seems to me that SystemD is pushed on all Linux by a tiny handful of Red Hat marketing execs.
Debian went with SystemD because they believed a systemd takeover was inevitable. Slackware is considering systemd for the same reason.
1) You always need five years of recent, verifiable, professional experience. Don't take my word for it, look at the ads.
2) The experience needs to be in about six different technologies, and every employer has a different list. Often the required skills are not even related to computers, i.e. HVAC tech - seriously, I've seen that, more than once.
3) Over 35 is considered very old.
Also, remember that employers are shipping jobs offshore as fast as they possibly can. And the jobs they cannot ship offshore are to be filled with visa workers.
Yeah, three months of coding training, sure, that'll do it.

> Your genius logic is now stating that a cop can shoot a person point blank for any reason
Wrong.
You can shoot a person in self defense. If that person is trying to grab your gun, you damn well better shoot him, or you are as good as dead.
Anybody familiar with Cameron's abysmal record, especially when it comes to countering terrorism, knows that Cameron is desperately trying to shift the blame away from his own incompetence.
Also for a hugely disproportionate amount of computer technology.
US has about 5% of the world's population, but the US has created more than of computer technology.
Easy to sit around and be snotty critics. More difficult to actually do anything.

BTW: I think US politicians are even worse.
1) There are numerous technical reasons against systemd, and not one good reason for it.
2) Admins are way more than users with a special password.
3) It is way more than a few people who oppose systemd.
Honest question. What does Linux offer for servers that BSD does not?
I think it is fair to say that dems, are repubs, are responsible for this.
Trying to imply that Obama is the good guy in the mess is pure bullshit.
Or better yet, offshore the job.

Maybe you have mis-identified the "bullies?"

In other words "our proprietary product is *the* standard"
Red Hat is following Microsoft's playbook to the letter.
Seems like it would solve a lot of problems.
It would give Debian users years of use while the systemd thing got sorted out.
It would be a shame. A lot of people worked hard for POSIX, and I think POSIX does have a purpose.
I think you have it backwards.
SystemD is forced down our throats by a small elite at Red Hat. This is, very obviously, a move right out of Microsoft's playbook.
No thanks.
These days: Redhat == Microsoft.
I am surprised that more people don't see that.
At least we pretend to have free speech. Our politicians do not come right out and proclaim that free speech radicalizes people.
"Sure you have free speech, we'll just punish you if you say something we don't like"
Sure, that makes sense.
Not for Muslims. UK seems to have two separate standards: one for Muslims, one for everybody else.
Muslim preach hate in the streets all the time. Muslims are allowed to offend anybody. Nobody is allowed to offend Muslims.
Might as well piss on their graves.
They could win.

Good luck.
"Crimes?"
Maybe a technicality, but isn't copyright violation a civil matter, and not a crime?
I'm guessing it's the apps. OpenBSD is probably great for servers, but does not have all the desktop apps as Linux.
Or, maybe I'm wrong.
I am really hating Red Hat's hostile takeover of Linux. I may consider a BSD.
Also: Chomebooks are know for very fast boot, and great battery life.
