    Much more useful to me would be to get that listing, with those log tails, on a sysVinit. And that is far from impossible.

    So do it already.

    Sort of like how if you're using systemd in an NFS world you're going to have a bad day, since he still hasn't made their dependency resolution work correctly with networked filesystems.

    Huh? Works for me.

    "CO2 is a warming gas in the atmosphere; in the absence of any other changes, adding CO2 will warm the atmosphere."

    This has never been proved conclusively. In fact it is not even supported by statistics. The Earth has been much cooler in the past with much higher concentrations of CO2 than exist today.

    What part of "in the absence of any other changes" do you not understand?

    Please pay no attention to notorious warmist Dr Roy Spencer telling you that this cherry pick is a bad idea.

    Fun moments in denialism:

    #1 when, just after "climategate" they decided that HADCRUT3 was the best dataset
    #2 the breathless wait for BEST to overturn the applecart
    #3 the switch from UAH to RSS as the "reliable" (aka wrong) datasource.

    We're in an interglacial, still in same ice age

    Make up your mind.

    Look up the words you don't understand:

    An interglacial period (or alternatively interglacial) is a geological interval of warmer global average temperature lasting thousands of years that separates consecutive glacial periods within an ice age.

    Then I guess they get their "news" from Fox.

    The "42 days" nonsense is from people who don't understand that WHO declares a country as being ebola-free after two incubation periods with no cases.

    42 days = 2 * 21 days.

    The argument that regular passenger service needs to be maintained so that professional medical help can get into and rotate out of the affected countries doesn't really seem to hold water.

    So you think that you know more than MSF, the WHO and the CDC?

    Do we have to invoke the dread names of Dunning and Kruger?

    Airlines are perfectly willing to charter planes to people who don't have their own.

    You seem to be overestimating the scale of the operation.

    MSF currently have 270 "international" staff members in the field. They do 4-6 week assignments.

    Chartering whole planes would be ridiculous.

    The only false claims I've seen came from you.

    Really now? What Debian are you running with systemd and journald? We run thousands of machines on Debian 5-7 and I have yet to use either, see either, or configure either. I have init, and I have a choice of rsyslog or syslog-ng, that's it.

    That a "senior system engineer/architect" doesn't know how to use apt-cache, apt-get or aptitude while running "thousands of machines" amuses me.

    I see the media panicking. I don't see the American public panicking.

      If anything there is concern that the government is not taking proper choices do to politics (such as restricting / checking people who travel to ebola and requiring that doctors spend 21 days (or so) at home or in a nice isolation ward at the hospital with TV and all the take out menus they want.

    I see Americans panicking. You for example.

    There is absolutely no reason to quarantine people for 21 days, it's a waste of money. Regular temperature checks and quarantine in case of symptoms are all that is needed.
