  4. CERN created the need for it. Watt invented his steam engine to drain flooded mines, not to move trains.

  5. Could they? My opinion is as good as yours.
    Did they? No.

  7. Re: Open Source Freedom? on World Map Shows Countries Requiring Open Source Software (networkworld.com) · · Score: 0

    It's mandated only in the public sector fo ra question of security (nobody likes NSA backdoors).
    The private sector is free to act as they wish.

  8. That's quantitative easing, and it's a quite normal practice. It helps keeping the interest rate on bonds low, and as the debt created with it is also owned by a federal entity, it's a zero sum game.

  9. Re:Mindshare on Skype For Windows Phone Will Stop Working in 2017 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, go tell that to the lucky ones who bought an Omnia 7.

  10. Re:Catching up to Apple on Microsoft To Release Two Major Windows 10 Updates Next Year (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I did the Anniversary update on one of my desktops that dual-boots to Fedora, and it did not mess up the linux partitions. What it does, however, is set itself as default boot option instead of grub, but that's easily fixed with an one-line command.

    You mean Erdogan?

  15. Re:Uh, not really. on Movie Written By Algorithm Turns Out To Be Hilarious and Intense (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    But let's be fair: the gun taped on the wall for no discernible reason was pure brilliance!

  16. Re:aren't there airports in switzerland? on World's Longest, Deepest Rail Tunnel Opens In Switzerland (latimes.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    To match the freight and passenger capacity of high-speed trains, you'd need A LOT of flights. None of which will land in a city centre.

  17. Re:Still not enough justification on California Mayors Demand Surveillance Cams On Crime-Ridden Highways (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    My educated guess is that these gangs already have access to all the pot they want.

  18. Open source is not immune to consensus, if a given way to do something is used by a vast majority, it will become the standard. The positive aspect however is that the standard will never be forced on you, as it in having no other options, it would just become more and more difficult to deviate from it ad the non-standard user base's numbers dwindle. So your best course to have a viable alternative to systemd is to build a consensus on it, and the best way to do it is through technical merit.

    Gotta appreciate the irony of a Welsh complaining about incomprehensible scribbling...

    Yet, the Swiss are proverbially good at finance, and they're seriously considering the idea.

  23. Re:Back in the 20th century when it began on Is the $400 Billion F-35's 'Brain' Broken? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It's too slow and its range is too small to be an effective incursor. Its only strength really is stealth, but pray you don't end up in a dogfight with it.
