Not the same company. SCO Xenix, SCO Unix (SVRr3.2) and SCO UnixWare (SVR4.2MP) were made by the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO). The lawsuit was brought by Caldera Linux (who bought rights to sell the SCO software from SCO). Caldera renamed themselves "The SCO Group" (TSCOG) in order to pretend to be respectable, rather than scum who tried and failed to monetize Linux (and not in a Red Hat way).
Huh? The most frequent complaint about systemd is that it "fails early instead of chugging along like nothing is wrong all the while it's messing your crap up", i.e. it won't boot if there's crud in fstab.
Hah! Those of us who knew SCO (as opposed to TSCOG, nee Caldera) consider that the moment it all went downhill too.
The funniest bit of the whole mess is that when Caldera started the lawsuit they had a good case, and maybe could have won. Not their crazy claims that Linux was based on stolen Unix code (which TSCOG didn't even own), but their initial claims that some consultants, possibly with IBM help, were using SCO shared libraries on Linux systems to replace SCO installations -- a clear breach of SCO terms and conditions. But then someone at TSCOG went insane and decided to go for broke...
Note again I'm not saying this effect accounts for ALL or even MOST of the warming on earth.
What effect? Some observations seem to show that the Martian icecaps are shrinking. No cause has yet been found. We know it's not the sun -- there has been no increase in solar output.
[the "effect"] seems to account for between 15%-60% of [warming on earth], probably close to 30%.
Where do you get these figures?
If there is some mysterious "effect" that is causing (part of) the warming on earth there must be an equal and opposite unknown effect that is causing cooling, too, otherwise there would be no match between the observed warming and the known cause for that warming (CO2 increase).
And, since we know Mars and Venus are also getting warmer, it must be the Martian's fault.
Well, given that we don't know that Mars and Venus are getting warmer we don't have to look for causes for that nonexistent warming.
How much of the change is likely to be caused by which of the several known factors, and potentially unknown factors?
If there are unknown factors causing the warming then there are also unknown factors causing cooling that happens to exactly balance the unknown factors causing warming, since the observed warming fits pretty damn well the known factors that can cause warming. Or maybe we should just use Occam's razor?
What is the long-term temperature trend, based on long-term actual data (as opposed to COUGH corrections COUGH made up on the spot and added to the data).
The long term temperature trend is slightly cooled the corrections that are carefully considered. You might like to see a doctor about that nasty cough.
While I am in violent agreement about your general point -- slow boot problems are not important until you have to boot at which point slow boot can be a disaster -- what kind of cruddy raid system needs a reboot to change its config?
you're talking about kilocalories when you talk to a layperson in the US about the "calorie".
No, no, no. 1 kilocalorie == 1 Calorie, not one calorie. You mean you can't hear the all important distinction between the "calorie" and the "Calorie", runners up in the "stupidest tradition unit" prize with the ton and gallon.

Hate Caldera (TSCOG) not SCO.
Get it right -- you're talking about TSCOG (née Caldera), not SCO, who made an ok UNIX back in the day.
My main criticism about systemd is that it is not optional.
Then you have no criticism of systemd. In any sane distribution (e.g. Debian) systemd is optional.
Huh? The most frequent complaint about systemd is that it "fails early instead of chugging along like nothing is wrong all the while it's messing your crap up", i.e. it won't boot if there's crud in fstab.
Even so the clusterfuck of rc scripts in most redhat derivatives was Red-Hat's creation.
Nope. AT&T. Specifically AT&T system-V. Hence the name, sysvinit.
Debian is not a "redhat derivative".
What a good thing that only one process, journald, writes to the log file then.
What is one supposed to think about criticism from people who can't even get the most basic details of the way systemd works right?
Hah! Those of us who knew SCO (as opposed to TSCOG, nee Caldera) consider that the moment it all went downhill too.

They can levy all the fines they want, but unless Facebook exists as an entity inside of that country, does that country really have any jurisdiction?

Well what happens if Facebook decides to decline doing business with the French citizens and France?
Facebook loses a fuckton of money.

Your post is an example of the same SJW lynch mob nonsense.
Are you insane?
Leftists?
Ignorant fuck.
What's in New Hampshire?
Drugs.
And nearly the last comment:
Slashdot, get your peanuts here!
and I have to make raid changes and reboot,
While I am in violent agreement about your general point -- slow boot problems are not important until you have to boot at which point slow boot can be a disaster -- what kind of cruddy raid system needs a reboot to change its config?
Hey, that'd be a good new feature for slashdot -- no fucking links to Forbes.
Third comment on the bug:
Slashdot, now you're under new ownership -- fix your fucking UTF8 support already.
Not even a funny foreign character, just a crappy "smart quote" FFS.
switch from SysVinit to systemd
Yeah, that freaked out the Devuan paranoids https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20160127.151137.ab4c9937.en.html
Someone is stupid enough to py over 3000 dollars for an AR15?
Someone is stupid enough to write 3000$ when they mean $3000?

No, no, no. 1 kilocalorie == 1 Calorie, not one calorie. You mean you can't hear the all important distinction between the "calorie" and the "Calorie", runners up in the "stupidest tradition unit" prize with the ton and gallon.
If you balance "calories in to Calories out" you're going to have a huge problem as 1 Calorie == 1000 calories.
OB PKD -- Paycheck.
Sounds like my rack.
