Well, since you're not the only person who's ever clicked on the link, I don't see the point of your whole screed.
By the way, your messages are needlessly long and repetitive with a strong passive-agressive tone that I think will put many people off. You'd do better to be shorter and more pithy.
Note the traffic differences, if you can, when you see a sign that says "MERGE AHEAD PLEASE USE CAUTION" as opposed to just a sign with an indicator arrow on it.
Yup. The difference is that you get a huge increase in traffic accidents in a multilingual environment.
When I do this in Ubuntu 15.10, it works, but it also slows down boot times pretty badly. All the systemd haters say that there are ways to fix that, I'd really like to see one of them put up (a convenient, and sensible, patch for Debian that addresses the boot time issue), or all of them shut up.
It exists. It's called Debian. Just install sysvinit in place of systemd.
(If you're allergic to the letters "d", "e", "m", "s", "t" and "y" you may want to check out Devuan, which wants to be Debian with all packages containing those letters removed).
1. Install Debian 7. Use it for over a year with no problems at all.
Well, apart from some problems where NFS didn't start because the sysvinit tried to mount devices before the network was up.
2. Upgrade Debian 7 to Debian 8. Systemd should be installed. 3. Reboot the computer. 4. Observe that something obscure and non-obvious with systemd prevents the system from booting fully. Try in vain to debug the problem, fighting with binary logs the whole time.
Nope, failed at this step. All my machines are booting with systemd.
We know how much we're emitting. We know what the atmospheric increase is. The rest is "naturally absorbed". It turns out to be about 50% of what we're emitting. Nobody (sane) disputes this.
So you're implying (unintentionally) that the math doesn't add up
No, I'm implying that about 50% of what we emit is taken up by carbon sinks (ocean acidification, vegetation and so on).
It's simply not possible that the math doesn't add up -- we know how much CO2 is emitted when a given quantity of coal, oil or gas is burnt, that's simple chemistry. We know how much money is being spent on buying that coal, oil and gas, that's simple accountancy.
The evidence that humans are making a difference in the CO2 levels is found by checking the ratios of different CO2 isotopes.
That's doing it the hard way.
The evidence that humans are making a difference in the CO2 levels is found by double entry book keeping -- we know how much coal, oil and gas is being burned because we know how much money is being spent on it. From that, plus simple chemistry we can calculate how much CO2 we are emitting. That turns out to be about twice the observed CO2 increase, so we know 100% of the increase in CO2 is coming from fossil fuel burning.
This sounds like a very plausible source for the extra heat that's causing what environmentalists/leftists like to call "Global Warming".
No it doesn't.
It's not heat that's causing global warming, it's extra heat.
There is no trend in the heat coming from these volcanoes, therefore they can't be the cause of the observed trend in temperatures.
Simultaneously if the observed warming was being caused by undersea volcanoes what is the mechanism that is stopping warming due to the observed increase in greenhouse gasses?
The point is moot because the French president obtained special powers after the attack in Paris until February to enact pretty much any anti-terrorism legislation.
No he didn't.
The state of emergency allows a certain number of police actions to be done on order of a "prefet" (an administrator) rather than a judge:
1. Banning of public gatherings. 2. Search warrants. 3. House arrest.
It lasts 3 months (so its nearly over).
Thats it. Nothing more, no power to pass legislation.
What's really stupid about trying to big up the American involvement in Enigma is that it was in fact huge. The Pole started it, the Brits continued, but as the project grew the Americans were needed just because it was so massive. By the end of the war over 3/4 of all the Bombes were being made in the US.

'Cos the cheap bastards haven't installed FTTH yet, I'm still limping along with FTLA.
This is, of course, nonsense. If part of the log is corrupted systemd will show you all but the corrupt part. Just like with text logs.
Why would cable ISP's offer such shitty "broadband"? Mine gives me 200/10. 25/3 is ridiculously slow.

Concern troll is concerned?

Oh, that's easy to fix. Just install systemd.
systemd doesn't even have usable logs. Binary logs are nice... but something happens, they are absolutely useless.
Why are they useless?
It exists. It's called Debian. Just install sysvinit in place of systemd.
(If you're allergic to the letters "d", "e", "m", "s", "t" and "y" you may want to check out Devuan, which wants to be Debian with all packages containing those letters removed).
I didn't notice anybody asking a question, just a bunch of tedious trolling.
Of course the answer is no, the kernel doesn't need systemd.
Wooosh.
Unfortunately (for Hillary) the 'scientific' polls miss out a huge demographic

Because upstart was shit.
Yes we do.

People have crossed Greenland, though (I assume it has similar problems)
Greenland is a hell of a lot less volcanically active than iceland.
Sorry, but I'm going to put my faith in chemists, physicists and meteorologists
What exactly do you think "climate scientists" are if not "chemists, physicists and meteorologists"?

And some buthurt moderator mods N1AK offtopic for pointing that out.
No it doesn't. The Republicans are a minority in parliament, this idiocy will never pass.
