  1. the nature of the totlitarian regime is not elaborated on,

    Well, of course not, because, as we now know, the "totalitarian regime" was Apple.

    Which would you rather interact with? A CISCO Nexus 3000 or a woman?

    What kind of journalism? Slashdot journalism.

    (or, possibly, Facebook journalism. Maybe they claim to own the satellite just because they wanted to lease it, like they claim to own your photos just because you post them).

    Why would OSX need to support new Intel processors?

    For my entire childhood it was common for the cabin crew to invite interested kids up during the cruise phase of the flight to check out the cockpit, ask questions, and talk to the pilots for a few minutes.

    Do you like films about gladiators?

  8. This is unfair. You understand what is going on, you are using an unfair advantage over all the idiot pseudo-libertarian AC's commenting here and are required to dumb down your next 20 posts to level the playing field.

  9. If taxes were set correctly, fairly, and not full of loopholes and exceptions, then everyone, from the homeless bum on the street, the welfare princess with 5 kids, the low-income earners who rent, the medium income earners who live in a house, and the high earners would ALL pay the exact same % on their gross income.

    For an insane definition of "fairly".

  10. How much gold do you consume per year?

  11. Let's look at your claim that the inflation rate has been near zero for three decades:

    http://www.bls.gov/data/inflat... [bls.gov]

    $1000 in 1986 is the equivalent of $2195.68 today

    That supposed "near zero" inflation rate has reduced the value of $1 to 45 cents

    Compound interest. Either you understand it or you don't. You can argue about whether 2.66% is "near zero", but hyperinflation it isn't.

  12. I have a police force, maybe you will shoot the first reponder, and we will give him a hero's funeral, but the others will kill you, you lunatic fuck.

  13. Who, Texans? Sorry, no, they didn't. Now, ISIS...

  14. Good on her,just a pity she wasn't fireing something a bit heavier,like a 12 gauge Browning 2000,

    God, but you Americans are such pussies.

    Should have used a Starstreak.

    I like this bit:

    Water can double as radiation shield. Put on a "slip on" jacket around the cylinder, assembled in 3-4 pieces, fill with water.
    Now you have both radiation shield AND water supply.

    'cos getting water into LEO is going to be so easy.

    Ah, samba is not installable in Devuan because the veteran Unix administrators made a rookie mistake. Got it.

  21. Re:Simple question to those knowlegable of SystemD on Systemd Rolls Out Its Own Mount Tool (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how this goes in SystemD and how complicated it may be. Is there a GUI Tool for this? I heard that these scripts are basically binaries in SystemD and I have to compile them? Is that true?

    Nope. If you're writing for systemd you'd write simple config files rather than init scripts (man systemd will point you to man systemd-system.conf for details). If you want to keep backwards compatibility you can keep using init scripts. I don't know how Ubuntu have dealt with upstart compatibility.

    You don't need GUI tools. On my Debian systems I can use either the old Debian tools (update-initrc.d, invoke-initrc.d), the Redhat inspired service(8) stuff or the native systemctl(1) command.

    All systemd config is simple text files. There is no "registry".

    We've gotten old

    In my experience most of the anti-systemd people are not "old". They like to claim titles like "greybeard" and "veteran" but many of them are only in their 30's.

    I'm 57, systemd doesn't exactly seem a shocking new thing to me. I've been used to rapid change for all my life. Getting my head around paged virtual memory back in the '70s, or graphical workstations in the '80s, now that was interesting, since then...
