    Nice theory, now prove it using sources that are not Fox News, Breitbart, or the like.

    Background and justifications make up 300-odd pages and Republican corporatist objections make up nearly another 100. The rules themselves are 7.5 pages.

    Nice job being a good trooper and continuing to parrot Fox News talking points even after they've been thoroughly debunked.

    Windows has done NTP since Windows XP. Before that you had to either ask the domain controller or use a third-party NTP utility.

    I don't see how. Perhaps your statement makes sense to idiots, because they do finalize the rules in writing, vote on them, and publish it for us to see.

    They /do/ finalize them before voting on them, lackwit. They simply don't publish them for us commoners to see first.

    Fair point, but you can get most of the meaning from just reading it and optionally paying attention to the news. It's not like SCOTUS has a secret interpretation that's 180 degrees opposed from a plain reading.

    When I said "fucktards", that wasn't a summoning spell, and yet here you are.

    You might as well complain that in order to grok the Constitution you have to slog through 200+ years of SCOTUS case law.

    Standard FCC rules. They're not allowed to publish new rules while they're still in the making stage.

    Whether or not that's a good idea is up for debate, but this is far from the only FCC reg this applies to.

    So much for the ZOMG 300-ODD PAGES fucktards. Bet they don't come back and admit they were wrong either.

    You literally had no reason for including the second half of your response except to "show" that Republicans really aren't that bad, honest, because their opponents did something fifty years ago when the Democrats were the socially conservative party that the GOP is guilty of now.

    Be honest, now. You know very well that fiscal conservatives are powerless and have been for decades, regardless of party.

    Meh. The teabagger's predecessor (now a senator) would send form letters back saying "this is why I'm going to do the opposite of what you suggest" pretty much every time. Our other senator does listen from time to time, but she's a Democrat so I expect her to be at least occasionally reasonable.

  25. Re:ABOUT FUCKING TIME! on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 4, Informative

    Really, though, if you're sticking anything but an LTS version onto bare hardware you're asking for trouble. They're very up-front about non-LTS releases like 15.04 being barely-supported betas for LTSes. So in that sense rolling out systemd at this stage is a pretty good idea since they'll have a year to work out kinks before 16.04, while IIRC they switched to PulseAudio not long before the LTS 8.04 release, with disastrous results.
