Thing about China is that their primary focus (permeates all of their culture) is to maintain high appearances even if everything underneath is complete crap.
The Vatican is using green friendly e-smoke and electronic balloting??? Wow!! Now THAT is NEWS!!
The smoke comes from organic hay.
As for electronic voting - why bother? They're all in the same room (locked!) - electronic voting would just lead to fears that someone was hacking it from outside.
systemd is as good as init daemons management system - the problem is how the transition is going to be performed? Hopefully it won't be like the gnome-classic => Unity mess. Init and systemd will both have to be available, giving time to administrators to migrate what could not be automatically transferred and specific applications.
Well. since the Ubuntu plan seems to be "copy Debian" you don't have to worry. It will be done right,
I understand that better reporting tools are a good thing (can you explain more to those of us who haven't migrated?). But otherwise, it's an init system. Just how often are you rebooting that server?
Well, that is the problem.
In real. modern, systems (servers, desktops, phones), there is no longer the binary distinction "booted/not booted".
Hardware gets hotplugged. Connections (and so network file systems) become available or are disconnected.
"init" doesn't just do its work at boot, but all the time.
Having switched from System V to upstart to systemd I can safely say that yes, systemd is better for a full server or desktop OS. It has better reporting tools, it has more fine grained control, and it's fast. The trade off is complexity and size. There are many computer systems that the cost of switching to systemd will not bear fruit for a very long time (ex. embedded), but for servers and desktops that time has arrived.
Learn to love systemd; it's here to stay and for good reason.

Hence the iphone.
I was a unix guy starting in 93
Newb.
The guy's an idiot. He probably has a .cshrc
He's going to be pissed when Gentoo moves to systemd.
Hey! BSD! A new user!
matches fragmentary thought.

You are a twat.
Three of my current phones use pulsaudio as a sound system (all of my computers do).
One of my current phones uses systemd. (The others use upstart I think). About half of my computers (~10) use sysvinit, the rest use systemd.
All of the pulseaudio/systemd systems work way better that the crappy mess that linux sound/linux boot management used to be.

As a sysadmin, the complexity in creating a random startup script for a new custom service on a systemd server is a huge barrier to entry.
So make a sysv init script.
Backwards compatibility, heard of it?

My phone uses systemd. It seems to work.
If you use the term "denier", then you're not helping science, you're helping politics.
What have deniers got to do with science? Of course it's about politics.
What "change in terminology" are you whining about today?
Modern computers don't have a floppy drive.
Just use the DVD reader.
If you have a portable without a DVD reader you can usualy just cut the chip from the card with a pair of scisors and stick it into your SD reader.
That's the way it works in the US as well. Often I have to give my zip code too.
Which is fucking great when you're in the US with a European card.
"What's your zip code"?
"I don't have one"
"Sorry sir, we can't process your transaction".
Considering most of them will use 1111 or 1234 I don't see this as more secure
It's more secure because to use a chip and pin card you need to:
1. find or guess the pin
2. steal the card.
3. prevent the cardholder from telling his bank to cancel the card.
With a stripe and sign card you need to:
1. clone the card. (The cardholder wouldn't even know you've done it.)
10 years?
Chip and pin has been around since 1992!
The way it works in Yurp is you type in the one time password you get sent by SMS.
The guy who moderated this "troll" probably voted "yes" in the anti-immigration referendum.
I was about to write this as well. We have been using pins for credit cards in Switzerland for the last 10 years...
Jeez you swiss are such a bunch of stick in the muds.
France has been using Chip+Pin since 1992.

FFS.
No, sorry, that's outside the NSAs remit.
The CIA hires the cocksuckers, the NSA just wiretaps 'em to get the gagging noises.
So, the only informed, interesting and insightful post gets modded.... redundant.
Better use a fucking high resolution timestamp.
(The number of times I've seen systems fall over because some idiot thought two things can't happen in the same second/millisecond/microsecond....)
