Seriously though, people alleging a world finance conspiracy to screw the little guy is exactly why the World Trade Organization was targeted.
There is of course no connection at all between the World Trade Center, some office buildings in New York and the World Trade Organisation, an international organisation based in Geneva.
But then again, maybe Osama made the same mistake you did.
Trying to run a Debian or similar server, you inevitable end up with a bunch of X packages because some random tool comes with a built in GUI and no one bothered to package a non-X version.
If you're installing "some random tool" on your server then you're doing it wrong.
A series of polls provides new tests for how weather influences public beliefs about climate change. Statewide data from 5000 random-sample telephone interviews conducted on 99 days over 2.5 yr (2010–12) are merged with temperature and precipitation indicators derived from U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) station records. The surveys carry a question designed around scientific consensus statements that climate change is happening now, caused mainly by human activities. Alternatively, respondents can state that climate change is not happening, or that it is happening but mainly for natural reasons. Belief that humans are changing the climate is predicted by temperature anomalies on the interview day and the previous day, controlling for season, survey, and individual characteristics. Temperature effects concentrate among one subgroup, however: individuals who identify themselves as independent, rather than aligned with a political party. Interviewed on unseasonably warm days, independents tend to agree with the scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic climate change. On unseasonably cool days, they tend not to agree. Although temperature effects are sharpest for just a 2-day window, positive effects are seen for longer windows as well. As future climate change shifts the distribution of anomalies and extremes, this will first affect beliefs among unaligned voters.
Systemd turns all that on its head and puts the kitchen sink in slot 1, a kitchen sink that is continuously undergoing change because so many complex subsystems have been built into it. It's not possible for it to reach stability even in principle, because the code for its complex functionality will necessarily have to evolve to keep abreast of security issues as well as the inevitable feature creep. There's no getting away from it.
Just how big do you think systemd is? How big is init?
All that cruft seems to be bogging the system down. We are currently migrating a large number (much larger than planned after initial results) of systems from RHEL to BSD - a decision taken due to general unhappiness with RHEL6, but SystemD pushed us towards BSD rather than another Linux distro - and in some cases are seeing throughput gains of greater than 10% on what should be equivalent Linux and BSD server builds.
As far as I know RHEL6 uses upstart, not systemd. Am I wrong?
I was thinking close your laptop's lid to put it on suspend, get off the airplane, step into a new locale, open the lid change your laptop's locale to match.
I think you don't know what "locale" means. (In an internationalisation/localisation context).

I always do craigslist transactions at the local police station.
That must make the whole sexual transactions thing extra interesting.
my identity was stolen once
No, your "identity" was not stolen.
Somebody pretended to be you and some idiot didn't check who they were dealing with.
The fact that it causes you problems is proof that the "credit card companies and credit agencies" are incompetent.

A distro that needs to split is a crap distro.
EG Ubuntu Server vs Desktop.
Just run Debian FFS.
In today's world of fast hardware, saving a few seconds booting up a system makes what difference?
On a server, not much.
So, you've never waited for a server to boot while thousands of users screamed at you?
Notice how all the verifiable data that we have since the first models started this hoax have failed?
.
No, I don't notice that. Care to be more explicit?
Manhattan isn't underwater, nor does it appear to be in any danger of being so for quite some time, for one.
The Climate Change promoters were telling us in the 90's and even into the 00's that by now, we'd be close to losing the city.
'nuff said.
No, not enough said.
Please cite the peer reviewed paper that said sea level rise would put Manhattan under water by 2014.
For small numbers of megabytes, and tens of kilobytes
in text size the systemd executable is about 1Mb and init about 30Kb. (systemd is bigger in reality as it uses more shared libraries.)
Running sizes: init (Debian, amd64)
john@cedric:~$ ps -lyp 1
S UID PID PPID C PRI NI RSS SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
S 0 1 0 0 80 0 532 2089 ? ? 00:00:32 init
And systemd:
john@celtic:~$ ps -lyp 1
S UID PID PPID C PRI NI RSS SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
S 0 1 0 0 80 0 3816 48691 ? ? 00:00:15 systemd
Systemd's resident size is less than 8 times init's.
(Fucking slashdot - why won't you get the spacing right)

Nobody cares that dummies "question the consensus".
It's a bit annoying when they want to waste everyones time with their pre-debunked zombie arguments.
The consensus exists because nobody has come up with that "repeatable, verifiable experiment" that disproves it, replacing it with a new consensus.
That's fantastic, thanks for the link.

Yup, the 97% is bollocks, Richard Toll has shown that clearly.
Well, actually, he's dead. He was a fairly crappy science fiction writer.
Guess what? There was an ice age like 10,000 years ago. Guess what? We're no longer in an ice age.
Guess again. We are still in an ice age.
Still got those polar ice sheets, still got those alpine glaciers. Still in an ice age.
Woooosh.
scanners no longer work in debian, thanks to systemd.
You mean we are no longer at risk of having our heads explode!
That seems a significant improvement to me.

So what "cruft" is slowing your systems down?
And how are you measuring "throughput"?

You seem to be confusing it with "timezone".
Crimson Avenger has disabled his internet accessible knife.
If I recall correctly, the problem is that the US and Russia signed a treaty that prevent the reprocessing of nuclear waste.
You don't remember correctly.
Nuclear waste is reprocessed outside of the USA.
3: Servers start fast enough without systemd.
No they don't.
They don't start fast enough with systemd either, but that's not systemd's fault.
Which worked out oh so well in the whole PulseAudio fiasco a few years ago.
You mean that fiasco that finaly gave us working sound?
I doubt it.
The systemd haters are whiners, not doers.
Not just the sound guy, the sound guy that wrote the broken sound framework. Pulseadio is a horrible horrible system.
Sound on Linux was useless before pulseaudio.
Initial pulseaudio was crap.
Now it works.
