    Easier -- ZTE just stop using Qualcom chips.

    In fact, any sane non-US hardware manufacturer should stop using US made or designed chips.

    Now try transcoding a HD video on a modern 4GHz desktop versus a 1st gen Raspberry Pi.

    An interesting case.

    What everybody keeps forgetting about the Raspberry Pi is that it is a powerful multimedia chip with a crappy ARM core attached. Unfortunately the main chip is closed, so you can only program on the feeble ARM core.

    Not deliberately, but the solution does lie in their hands.

    I can't link to papers?

    You started this thread with the unjustified claim:

    The computer models we have are inaccurate, as has been demonstrated in multiple peer reviewed papers.

    Where are the links?

    This is a pretty fair summary of your posting history, unsupported claims followed by demands that others provide evidence to back their points when you are challenged.

    Venus has 96% CO2 atmosphere, yet it's colder than earth at elevation at its poles. Probably something to do with energy from the aurora, solar wind and earth's magnetic field.

    I have 800,000 years of direct, measurable evidence that the earth's climate cycles between warming and cooling, and that we are, in fact, in the fifth such cycle.

    Exactly. And we are currently in the cooling part of the cycle,

    But the temperature is going up.

    All models are inaccurate, some are more accurate than others.

    Multiple peer reviewed papers have proved that the current climate models are actually rather good.

    Sorry, It's just that your original message wasn't clear -- I thought you were complaining that the "service" command wasn't working properly, not that systemctl restart wasn't working for you.

    So did you manage to find out why "systemctl restart" wasn't restarting the service? What service was it?

    it's not like rejected patches are published -- after all, they were rejected.

    Huh? You think systemd development is done in secret? On what basis?

    It's been claimed that the systemd team are rejecting patches en-mass. So far the only example seems to be a trivial change to an automake file, which doesn't seem to have been proposed with any real justification.

    But never mind, you've decided that because you can't find anything it must exist and be hidden.

    Hint: look in all the "/etc/rc?.d/" directories, and not in "/etc/init.d".

    Of course the /etc/rc?.d directories consist entirely of links to the files in /etc/init.d, all 9000 odd lines of them.

    Tell a lie, there are two files in /etc/init.d that are not linked to by /etc/rc?.d -- /etc/init.d/README and /etc/init.d/skeleton.
