Like George Bush's 'ownership society' rhetoric? They can and have squealed about the economy until the cows come home, but to be frank, none of them want to change course because they're all in the better-the-way-it-is group. The only grounds for change are from the common man standing up for their share, but fuck, the common American wants (and expects) to be the better-the-way-it-is group, so you're self-selecting a worse economic conditions for yourselves with the delusion that you / offspring will rise in economic standing. Note: Many people can and do raise their station (there are few glass ceilings), but the reality is quite bleak to actually accomplish it.
I was actually pretty thrown for a loop the first time I went through the chunnel, which is also a train-only system. It totally makes sense, but threw me for a loop.
Do you know how much less efficient it is ship freight in an airplane? Your comment makes no sense economically and logically.
"Well, there's no easy way to ship products from China to the UK, so we're just going to fire them on rockets. That's gotta work better than slow ass boats!"
As much as I hate protectionism in general, it isn't unreasonable that a country wants the right to subpoena information about financial transactions (please no trolling, laize faire bitcoin nut jobs). The fact that the records are physically located in the country isn't surprising as it enforces that leverage on the companies doing business there.
Nobody blinks an eye when the EU demands patient records and other 'protected' confidential data being held solely in Europe, but being financial in nature, all of a sudden that's overreaching?
All I can say is if you're a multi-national without the ability to data partition geographically, whatever your business is in, you're just welcoming a pain in the ass now or in the near future.
I imagine this really comes down to cost. Turkey probably isn't a big enough market to justify the datacenter. This is news people!!...
Did you install systemd from source? No, you install it from your distribution. Are they going to install with the feature on or off? Why are you suddenly spurned by the default behaviour of something trivially overwritten becoming the default? If its a dumb change, all distro providers will ship it off by default and nothing of value was lost.
Well to be fair, Alsa was a heaping pile of crap for the things that pulse has been soo much better as (user shared media, splitting, per device mixers, etc..). Alsa is great for what it is: a high level sound card device driver. Hardware doesn't have a feature? You're forced to jump through the moon with pseudo-devices up the wall all manually to get shit to work. I love Alsa and it works for what its good for, but it certainly wasn't a tech stack that played well with modern end-user sound interaction expectations.
The pulse hate (of which I certainly spewed heavily at the time) was almost entirely due to flakiness. They added the kitchen-sink into pulse, but it was really really hard to configure, flaky, horribly latent, and just ultimately not ready for production. The the technology abstraction was exactly what they needed, but the polish wasn't.
How does this relate to systemd? Not much, but I'm sure there will be a storied history written about it. Everyone in the distro world seems to be embracing it. IMHO I don't give a fuck as long as I can write an init script which is run by something at some point to do something init'y.
The real question is how much will be left with such a large market of people who generally and acutely hate your product? Every miss-step MS does (and this is certainly a big one) costs MS marketshare, and given the enemic PC landscape, that's the last thing MS needs. This will just usher people toward alternatives faster.
Ask yourself this: If given the option would you jump into bed with Redhat or Oracle. I'd choose Redhat because Oracle's got a history of being slimy money grubbing assholes. Repuation matters, and there's little these days compelling the common man from chosing them over any of their numerous competitors.

I think you'll find the rank and file left/right people just as likely to support political reform if given the opportunity. Unfortunately for you, politicians make a fck ton less money from interested third parties if the elections were run 'fair and square'. Neither party wants this, which is why both left and right are members of the real organization: 'more money and power for us' (the politicians) party. The rest is just window dressing.
Keep railing on liberals for being the sacred cow to slaughter in order to make America great (again?) and they'll do the same. Guess who in the last 2-3 decades have won from such juvenile misdirected anger? Oh dang!
Or to put it another way, Facebook is a company that had its axe to grind, and no legal reason to do anything against its own best interests. Nobody bitches when they remove naked pictures, pictures of decapitated reporters/workers, etc.. You have a problem because it targets your political agenda which is 100% fine. That's the power of consumerism. If you don't like the product, get a different one.
If you want to argue that Facebook shouldn't legally be allowed to influence a news filter bubble, that's also 100% completely fine, but this is against the company's free speech (to do what it likes to communicate with their audience) and to restrict it is to also stifle free speech.
of Xubuntu. Centos with XFCE is ok too. Really, the only thing that XFCE is missing for me (and probably others) is a set of pre-canned layouts to select from in order to prevent more of the esoteric configuration.
I'm all for adding new types of applications in new and novel ways until the cows come home, but the way I launch applications hasn't changed since '95. Call me old fashioned, but it fcking works and I love it.
Much like a broadway show or Theatre, Movies gives people an excuse to get out of their boring hum drum lives and sit through some audio/visual experience outside of their home's comfort zone. The problem is now that home threatres have gotten significantly better over the last 15 years and movie theatres have gotten significantly worse.
Greenpeace is a group of eco-terrorists? Even by America's stretch of 'terrorism', that much seems a stretch. I'm all about the attirbution though, so if they've commited acts of terror and somehow slipping through the bungling fingers of the FBI, I'd be glad for the clarification.
I'm not so sure about the theatre seat profits (outside of inflation), but there's more money in the system because international sales are starting to dwarf domestic US sales. Theatre owners in the US aren't receiving those profits.
Not that I have a full understanding of the whole private email server fiasco (TLDR requested), but either she was indited for a crime and a warrant could legally be issued for said emails, or there wasn't just cause, in which case these privacy protections would prevent officers from going on a fishing trip. What are you arguing for exactly?
Age is certainly irrelevant, but dead citizens have no rights (to privacy), so once they're dead, only copyright prevents emails from being distributed. I don't know how this would work with two people communications where only one individual was alive.
This all reminds me of the steamy love letters from Warren Harding.

Steve Gibson is legit, but his site looks like dog food.
For someone so incredibly naive about the world of business, how do you expect to be competitive? Out-smug the competition?

RURAL Hong Kong, haha -- Even the New Territories can't be considered 'rural' by the most urbanite standards.
