The purpose of religion isn't to get a better world view. It's a way to get power over masses of people. In that fashion, it's not past its sell-by date. And it's irrelevant whether it's fantasy or not. People will gladly give their life for fantasy, if you've conditioned them properly.
How exactly would technology help to determine how much milk or eggs are left ? Put an RFID chip on each egg and have a level sensor built into each milk jug/carton ?
It can be a collection of utilities all dependent on each other, running 3 or 5 or 15 services all communicating with each other, all to bring up the system and supply system state management. This is the simplest and easiest way to make a complex system
Why not make 3-15 modularly written sets of source files, and compile them into a single binary ? It's hardly more complex than 3-15 separate programs, and it makes communication of structured information a lot easier.
Compared to the rest of the system, the RAM used by systemd/init is pretty small, especially considering that quite a bit of it is only executed at boot time. You should be more worried about the kernel, the buffer cache and the shared libs.
Referring to old security tapes as "movies" is even more unlikely. Unless, possibly, if they were taken with a hidden camera in the girl's shower area.
If my house were to burn down, the loss of a drawer full of crummy old VHS tapes would be on the bottom of the list of things to worry about. Since the original poster was talking about movies, a simple solution is to go to pirate bay, and download them, probably in better quality than the precious originals.
The physical foundation is the same of course, but the circumstances are totally different. Hence the effect that Arctic sea ice is shrinking, while Antarctic sea ice is growing.
I mean that Al Gore said "may", but the GP pretended that he said "will". That's a big difference. Also, Al Gore is not a scientist, and he was not expressing scientific consensus at the time.
There's a difference between 'may' and 'will'. At the same time that Al Gore made this statement, most scientists were more comfortable with an estimate of 2030.
The earth's surface area is pretty large, but from any given point on the earth, you can only see a small bit. And it's probably cheaper to aim a detector at the moon than it is to put one in orbit and look at the earth.

There are no "islands". Just a higher density of tiny bits of plastic.
Canada doesn't have enough barrels/day.

Aren't sweeping generalizations fun!
Not if they're wrong.
All you need to take over Europe are enough wombs.
For starters, in the summer I wear shorts and short sleeved t-shirts. In the winter I wear long jeans and an extra sweatshirt.

A philosophy doesn't remain true either, just because it's old.
Well, if the source code is not available, it doesn't pay to learn COBOL.
How would you resume an open TCP connection after restarting the network driver ?
And when it's all done, it will be more complex than Linux.

The concept of "master archive" of old VHS tapes has a certain funny ring to it.
First and foremost, remember that it is the end of winter. Having more sea ice at the end of winter is not surprising.
Obviously, scientists compare the end of one winter with the end of another winter.

You should have read the article before rushing to hit the Submit button. It's about Antarctic ice.
This data doesn't contradict global warming. It's a local effect, and it's been known for years.

CO2 in the atmosphere is "well-mixed".
The earth's surface area is pretty large, but from any given point on the earth, you can only see a small bit. And it's probably cheaper to aim a detector at the moon than it is to put one in orbit and look at the earth.
The cosmic rays collide with the atoms high in the atmosphere, and the atmosphere is notoriously bad at maintaining pockmarks.
