You seem to misunderstand that this whole story goes against the unix philosophy and that's what makes people so upset.
You need gdm? Too bad, now you need systemd too. You just want to use the GIMP? Better have systemd. Wanna start systemd as a user instance to handle the hard dependency? No, fuck you user, you need to boot from systemd to do that.
I personally care little about this as my GUI of choice is Aqua, but it's a sad chain of events. Want to push systemd for the desktop? Fine, but leave the users a choice. That's the nice thing to do. But don't you ever even think about imposing this bloated piece of crap on my servers, or I'll just switch to something that works (slackware, gentoo, xBSD, etc.).
I don't have the time to fork, I'll just switch to something that works. And many others will too, and this is what's bad for the community.
Are you totally ignorant? No it's not! It's also does dhcp and NTP, logging, mountpoints, PAM, swap management, fsck, snapshotting, LUKS, a fucking GUI,... etc. etc. etc.
To put it in their own words:
systemd certainly covers more ground that it used to. It's not just an init system anymore, but the basic userspace building block to build an OS from

Fuck this piece of crap!
He also won't fix a critical bug, and here's a dozen more reasons to hate this crapware. Lennart, pack your things and go, or start playing nice finally!
carrier-grade, integrated, open source reference platform [...] to advance the evolution of NFV and ensure consistency, performance and interoperability among multiple open source components
First, please check out what a Cintiq is. I didn't know that the Surface has a built-in digitizer, but anyhow, a Cintiq will be better in any case, just because you can connect it to whatever you choose and have different choices of size, as well as run it with any program you'd like, be it OneNote or something entirely else.
(You obviously don't have a lot of experience with OS X.)
If you want to tinker [...] Surface Pro 2 [...]
[interactive whiteboards] are about as useful in a classroom as an iPad
Yeah... right... So, in your opinion, the superior solution is a Surface Pro? Really?!
You can totally use even an iPad, load it up with the right apps and hook it up to a projector to achieve the same or an even better experience than you are describing, like with almost any other device.
What would actually be an improvement is something like a Wacom Cintiq (or their much cheaper predecessors) to give you more control over your drawing, but what platform you use (Linux/Windows/Mac) matters only inasmuch as you should feel comfortable with it. Incidentally, the interface that gets out of the way and let's you get stuff done the most is (a well configured) Linux and/or Mac.
I wasn't talking about mobile payment, but access to the tech (which is available to devs through private APIs anyway). A jailbreak will just make other uses available, which will probably appear in iOS 8.1 or 9, or whatever.
Think invisible QR codes and stuff.
Since I generally present the things I do as the things they are, I'd probably think that it's kind of cool, but that's where it stops.
In fact, if I'd have come up with a way to put the non-printed parts in the car in place via conveyor belt or robot arm, or another way of actually assembling the car automatically, before making a show out of printing a shell, then I'd think it's cool. These guys went for WOW-ing the sheeple and VCs instead. Did I mention that I dislike (marketing) bullshit in a (quasi-) serious setting?
I'd be proud if I would have come up with a fully functioning prosthetic arm driven by a brain-computer interface that costs a few thousand bucks, vs. the ~6-digits that are paid usually. This is just like the original facebook to me: nothing special, just existing things refitted to make a profit.
Engine ( "a machine that changes energy [...] into mechanical motion") == motor ("a machine that produces motion or power for doing work") [Merriam-Webster].
So, if an engine is one part, a tire is one part too and then, maybe, it's made of 40 (aggregate) parts/objects."
Is it a game changer? Doubtful. Step in the right direction - possibly.
A printed house including (pre-fab'd) wiring and communications, that's a game changer IMO. A printed "enclosure" of a car (even with "seats") is just the same old news scaled to a larger size (and with rather coarse resolution to boot).
A car most definitely does have more than 40 parts. However, if you have a relatively 'macro' level of abstraction and a "part" for you is the gearbox and another is the engine, then maybe you'll be able to say that this one has 40 parts.
In reality, though, the engine alone has more parts than that.

He can go and fuck himself and take SystemD and his elitist attitude with him. I'm sure Microsoft has a job or two for him.

Just doesn't sound as catchy.
So, an open software-defined networking (aka SDN) solution?
can't be losing those warm-water ports, right?
Not to NATO.

The 90s called, they want their anti-OSS rhetoric back.
I wasn't aware that I had a problem until my Joomla and Wordpress websites became unstable several months ago.
What? You were not aware that Joomla and Wordpress are being cracked wide open on a regular basis?
It's almost the same as:
U: "Hi, I am running windows."
A: "And?"
U: "I have a problem..."
A: "You already said that."
More importantly, does it work, when the phone's battery is dead?
I mean for regular users (who jailbreak).

go with Samsung
No thanks. Yuck!
Now, HTC is a different story, but I still prefer iOS.
NFC for other uses made available through jailbreak in 3..., 2..., 1...
LOL, way to turn an argument around. What I did and what I didn't do doesn't change the fact that this is not a 3d printed car, my friend.

So for you the engine is one part, and thus you are talking from the perspective of a relatively high abstraction level.
Q.E.D.
A car most definitely does have more than 40 parts.
However, if you have a relatively 'macro' level of abstraction and a "part" for you is the gearbox and another is the engine, then maybe you'll be able to say that this one has 40 parts.
