Car with a down-on-their-luck father whose family's only recourse to compensation would be legal aid or a no win no fee lawyer versus a police car with it's blue light on?
Or with the blue light off?
Or member of parliament/congressman?
Or a business leader?
While the law currently claims all men are equal, how long before any smart system demonstrates otherwise and we all have a life worth rating?
Think outside the box. Maybe your linux system is embeded in the flight systems of an airliner or vehicle that really does need the capability of changing timezones..
You are having a giggle ?
The flight system is the very place that should never change timezone, sure the passenger area wall clock but please not ever the flight system, that's just layering complexity and danger into a critical system.
If the Linux desktop needs a pretty clock then let the desktop handle that, let the core subsystems be synchronised with core subsystems around the world.
Exactly, this is what already happens in other markets.
A wholesaler that already distributes Tshirts, posters, joss sticks etc will take on this role.
Upside for the supplier is they only deal in bulk. Upside for the retailer is that they can now combine their CD orders with the Tshirt etc orders to meet minimum order values and be able to order more frequently.
It may cost the retailer a little more but that has to be weighed against the ability to reorder more often, from a stock aspect, the benefits of this cannot be stressed enough.
What will suffer is the tail, now a special order for that niche album will have to feed back an extra layer and so become slower. It is these sales that will end up as p2p searches instead, leading to reduced sales and then delisting by the supplier.
Expect more of the market to follow this model.
Expect it also to be reversed in 10 years or so as the suppliers look to bring back direct those smaller, higher margin, customers.
There is a puritanical streak that permeates Holyrood (the seat of the Scottish Assembly (Government)) which lead to the smoking ban being introduced here first*, talk of minimum pricing on alcohol and the potential banning of airguns. All for our own good of course.
As a smoking drinking air-gunner this irks me somewhat.
Interesting you mention independence and economics, thankfully we had England to bail us out of this current crisis. RBS, HBOS and the Dunfermline Building Society would have bankrupted Scotland. Darien Venture 2 if you like! It was the Darien venture that led Scotland to being sold under the 1707 Treaty of Unions.
*Suspect this was Jack McConnell keeping chummy with his Westminster masters
add to that the fact that your driving licence is linked to the card too, and the logical extension of requiring ID card or driving licence when buying a car. Then add the new road pricing methods to the mix and stir. They will know where you are.
Voluntary ID cards make little sense in a police state mind: Imagine the scenario- yes Mr Nasty_Person I am releasing you so that you may go home and return with your ID so that you can prove you are not a terrorist, please return within the week! Such a situation currently exists with Driving Licences and HORT1's
But there is little to worry about while we have a *relatively* benign government, the problem start when the mechanisms we allowed the state to build today come back to bite us in the bum tomorrow.
Add census data and our voting records to the mix and suddenly our NewNastyState knows where we LibDem voting Jedis work/sleep/recreate at the touch of a button.
Sound silly ? A man in Germany 60 years ago would nodoubt have loved that info on Jews & communists.

Don't worry, systemd spawns and kills them at will.
Wait, does than mean Lennart is in charge of our AI overlords?
Oh shit

UTC and ntp work just fine for that.
Not really

Look to section 5 (Page 34)
We are just old, get used to it.
Yes, we know that the usage is redundant. These articles are written for the lay reader however.
Some call it dumbing down, marketing people call it accessability.
Get used to it, we wanted it to be convenient to contact Grandma from our comfortable chairs.
We got that
No surprise then that there is now a section of the press that writes in Grandma speak

everything else is kinda moot.
1) How uniform are the sizes of each grain?
2) Static charges?
3) Aerodynamics? (see 1)
It may appear to behave like water, no chance I am going to wash my knob with it though.
Scotland's far from perfect too.

But we have been able to this for 20+ years, k, back then we peeked and poked parallel ports, add a bit of TTL magic, and Tada!
Now it's all "My LED got haxored because it only had Mcafee 2008"
TCP? for a display?
We have made the cart so fat, oil tanker fat, that we now need a fleet of horses, tugs, that we now need an admiral to command it all.
Bah humbug
Sod this, I'm off to argue with the weatherman on the telly.
the GGAFS2006 (great google anal fisting spike of 2006).
Just when will these people to do useful research for a change?
