  1. IN OTHER WORDS? on Systemd Adding Its Own Console To Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    Yeah I going to really miss my bash script based terminal... these new binary terminals are really terrible. /sarcasm

  2. And what's the problem ? on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    Caller: I work from home and really need to get this resolved. Comcast agent: Where do you work? Caller: Conal... Without any proof we have no idea what happened, but I'm betting it wasn't that... for a call center to bother to waste their time to reach out to your employer.

  3. Re:Systemd on Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite a Sick Place To Be In" · · Score: 1

    Because his crappy software was the best in a large steaming pile of crappy software...

  4. Re:Worry less about motive - worry about apathy on JP Morgan Chase Breach: Shades of a Cyber Cold War? · · Score: 2

    I would like to be able to care less. We need to get the ssn to have a changable security pin attached to it. It looks like your information has been compromised sorry you will have to change your pin... darn.

  5. Hackers: "This is our world now." on JP Morgan Chase Breach: Shades of a Cyber Cold War? · · Score: 1

    Hackers movie quote "This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch" I think at some point nearly everthing will get "hacked"... we can cry about it or we can make things less fun. Hackers movie quote "There is no right and wrong. There's only fun and boring." We need treaties to ensure those commiting crimes can be prosecuted across borders with long boring sentences. Hackers movie quote "Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them." For the love of god why is our ssn a national identifier and the unchangable password to our finances!

  6. Re:And Java fail again on Possible Reason Behind Version Hop to Windows 10: Compatibility · · Score: 1

    And a lot of junior programmers just starting out who are taught Java in college.

  7. Re:Signed Firmware on Hacking USB Firmware · · Score: 1

    Yeah but after a few hacks high security installations and sensitive corporations will require "certified" usb controllers, keyboards, mice, usb stick, etc. They will pay for the development and eventually we will have a choice 6 dollar mouse or 30 dollar security mouse. It doesn't have to be fool proof just hard enough most people are not hacking their consoles.

  8. Re:Really? on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1

    Yeah because now it talks to the network on startup, checks rules call "policies" your sysadmin might set, and talks to the network on shutdown. It makes administration much easier and your network safer but it does slow down your machine...

  9. Re: Finally someone decides to do something on Fork of Systemd Leads To Lightweight Uselessd · · Score: 1

    It's GNU/ Uselessd/ Linux... Microsoft and Apple fans everywhere are about to have good laugh.

  10. Re:Batteries? Seriously? on To Really Cut Emissions, We Need Electric Buses, Not Just Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    Cool and you get good traction? I'm not sure I would be that hardcore...

  11. Re:Simple set of pipelined utilties! on Torvalds: No Opinion On Systemd · · Score: 1

    Systemd takes that into account and buffers things with sockets. If one process needs another and gets running first it can still send its messages the socket will hold them and wait for the other process then the other process gets the message and answers as it should. It should not fail because nothing is listening for the message and the message is lost. if you want you can read about it more here... http://0pointer.de/blog/projec... I am cautiously optimistic about systemd at worst if it does not work it and Gnome3 will die not exactly a bad thing in my book. If you want to sit out on the sidelines, and play wait and see, you can run Ubuntu LTS, Debian old stable or RHT6 until we know if systemd is a winner or not. Or you can jump in play with the new init system whichever.

  12. KDE will fork on Digia Spins Off Qt As Subsidiary · · Score: 2

    That may be true but the community would lose paid developers... probably slowing down QT development.

  13. Re:Batteries? Seriously? on To Really Cut Emissions, We Need Electric Buses, Not Just Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    Come ride a bike in the winter on an icy street in Chicago with the wind blowing and the thermometer reading -2.
