    Damn, I was hoping to get .com's and .gov's seized due to US state sponsored terrorism (I mean surveillance)

    Why worry about the surveillance and ignore the terrorism?

    Oh, because they re-wrote the dictionary to define "terrorism" as "things we don't like done by people we don't like".

    Guess what? Cold places use MORE energy than warm ones. While people like to hate on ACs as some excess, they are actually quite efficient. Since they move heat, they can move more energy than they use. A good AC can easily move 3-5 watts of heat for each watt of energy it requires to operate. No such luck with heating systems, they at best get you 1 watt of heat for each watt they take.

    Nonsense. Your air conditioning system is a heat source that provides more than one watt of heat for every watt it consumes.

  21. Re:Gnome3, systemd etc. on Joey Hess Resigns From Debian · · Score: 1

    But as long as your shell doesn't randomly crashes, and one of the first lines in the rcS is something like 'rsyslogd &', and rsyslogd doesn't crash - the syslogd will be definitively and certainly started.

    Not on UnixWare. Look in /etc/inet/config

    # grep syslog /etc/inet/config
    2:/usr/sbin/syslogd::y:/etc/syslog.conf::

    (Now look for where that gets interpreted!)

    Nor on Linux (Debian Wheezy), look in /etc/init.d/rsyslog. which means init reads:

    l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2

    from /etc/inittab, and the 256 line shell script /etc/init.d/rc runs the compiled binary /sbin/startpar which eventually runs the 137 line script /etc/init.d/rsyslogd which uses the compiled program /sbin/start-stop-daemon to start rsyslogd.

    Or, if you have systemd installed then /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service says:

    [Unit]
    Description=System Logging Service
    Requires=syslog.socket
    Documentation=man:rsyslogd(8)

    I have, so far, not "called you names".

    Your examples of "jobs that cannot be done with a penis" are laughable.

    1. Yes, if you want you could be a wet nurse. Needs some horrible hormone therapy (just like for women).

    2. You can't be a surrogate mother. A woman can't be a sperm donor. Cry me a river.

    3. If you want to be a server in a topless bar get some tits. Perfectly doable. If the job needs full nudity you may need rather more drastic cosmetic surgery.

    "23 years of case law in England and Wales". I suppose you're talking about divorce, since the 1989 childrens act:

    More than half of all cases where residency is ordered by a court result in the mother being awarded sole residency. Around one-fifth result in sole residency being awarded to the father (a significant increase from the 1990s). Joint residency is also awarded in approximately one-fifth of divorces.

    http://www.divorceresource.co.uk/whogetscustody.html

    I can't find a source for how many fathers ask for residency (sole or joint).
