Unfortunately it is the airheads at Canonical that helped them with this. It was obvious that this would help Windows only and Ubuntu showed themselves to be so clueless and easily taken advantage of to go along with it. It is an advantage on the MS side since it gives people a reason to use Windows rather than Linux and thus hurt the Linux kernel. Of course many people know that Windows will take away the ability to control and audit the OS and would bring people under the enslavement of the Windows OS, a black box that microsoft can use to exploit and control its users.If Ubuntu really was competent they would have made it possible to run Windows hardware drivers and Windows Apps on Linux, which is really what would help people get off of Windows. And I dont mean the glitch prone, pathetic, 50% application compatability that Wine has, which is just not good enough, for average users would need to be 99%.
When we import foreign nationals into the country and then give them jobs, really anywhere, what we are doing is we are reducing the opportunity available to our own citizens, it adversely impacts citizens of all races, really, denying them the opportunity in their own country. It really just boils down to economics. One of the ironies of immigration is it often disadvantages black people quite substantially by competing for many of their jobs as well. This is really about protecting the sovereignty and the right of all american citizens, regardless of their race, to a secure country, and to exclusive access to our countries resources and jobs. Immigration, legal or illegal, does have very serious consquences, immigrants do not have to commit violent crime to have a very adverse impact on citizens, because they always end up reducing job opportunities for americans and suppressing the wage/salary market. A zero immigration policy therefore would protect all americans of all races, not just one group or another. So please, dont assume that people who opposed to immigration are trying to advantage one race over another, this is an out and lie, and it is totally illogical, because blocking all immigration would have the same benefits for all americans, no matter their race.A country does have a right to secure borders and to stop their borders from being breached and overrun, and to stop all immigration, this is a well established right under international law and is not in dispute.
Microsoft never opened sourced the parts of.NET that would help most end users like WPF. Much of Microsofts open sourcing is of things that are already open source in the Linux ecosystem, and would not result in damage Microsofts products. Linux is dominate on servers, so Microsoft open sources server code, but does not open source desktop code where Microsoft is still dominate. The Ubuntu Windows thing is designed to hurt Linux by giving people a reason to not run Linux, instead allowing them to avoid Linux and run Linux apps on Windows, this will weaken the Linux user base and the Linux kernel. Another shrewd move by MS, and it also shows how stupid Ubuntu must be for participating in this and what a bunch of incompetent suckers Ubuntu is. If Ubuntu were really competent they would have done the reverse which is to have Windows apps run on Linux which would have been an advantage for Ubuntu.
Microsoft considering its conniving should not be allowed to join Linux Foundation. The Linux foundation charter should be amended to ban companies like MS who sell competing OSs.
Where do you get your figures from on coal vs wind cost? You also have to consider scalability, could wind generate as much power as coal, and is it practical to install so many wind generators.
By the way, you liberals want there to be as many poor people as possible so you can buy them off with welfare goodies. Best way to fix healthcare is to get people off of public assistance by bringing our jobs back. So, getting rid of the climate change whackoism and producing abundant energy will help us reduce poverty and create jobs here. Reducing poverty is a nightmare for democrats, democrats are not about reducing poverty, they are about putting as many people on welfare as possible and keeping them there. They depend on that welfare vote, which is why they want Co2 regulations to turn the US into a third world cesspit.
So I am sure you would have enjoyed your per annum 110% obamacare premium increases, $10,000 deductibles and I you are happy about people not being able to find work because businesses cannot afford to buy insurance or the Obamacare fines. Furthermore, all of those stupid young millenials who voted for it would end up being expected to pay far higher premiums to subsidize more expensive insurance to high risk groups to hide the real cost of Obamacare, a hidden tax on the young who often the least can afford it. The things a monstrosity. Good riddance. By the way, most people were getting healthcare and did have health insurance, Obamacare was successful at making it unaffordable for people who already had it. If you wanted to cover the poor, do it the straight up way by funding a subsidy for poor and high risk groups and be upfront about rhe cost by putting it into the federal budget, rather than try to hide the cost with all of your little games like jacking up premiums on young people.
I am 100% for getting out of every climate change deal and scrapping all of these climate change rules. Climate change is basically a bunch of scaremongering which is an excuse to reduce the USA to a third world condition and a Marxist scheme to basically redistribute the Americans hard earned accomplishments to already third world countries. Its an out and out globalist scam and a fraud. Its a computer generated fraud created by people who have an ulterior motive which is to economically bring the USA to its knees. the Climate change treaties tend to slam the USA hard with draconian restrictions on fossil fuels that will destroy jobs here and throw many people into poverty while allowing China to do nearly anything it wants. This would have devastating consequences, not only direct losses in the US energy sector but the fact that there would be manufacturing jobs lost because the energy to run factories would be much more expensive here.
Here the liberals show what a fraud they are. They are a bunch of globalist maniacs that use enviro-whackoism to throw the US into a third world state and to make china a global superpower because they are totalitarian psychos that admire China where you can be tortured and murdered for criticising the government and to bring the USA to its knees because they have a pathological hatred of the USA and its people.
I thought you liberals were the ones who were worried about the poor affording heating oil? Well, this is just a scam for you to dupe people into voting for you because your climate change garbage is going to make energy much more expensive and unaffordable, and getting rid of your regulations will make energy cheap, affordable and abundant, leading to our prosperity, to great reductions in poverty due to the jobs that cheap energy will create here, in conjunction with Trumps plans to get us out of bad trade deals
If you global warming people are so worried, why dont you and Al Gore give up your cars, smart phones, planes and everything else. Instead al gore and other global warming kooks fly around in airplanes powered by fossil fuels, because their mentality is that the greenhouse gas rules do not apply to them and are only intended to throw average common americans into poverty, thats because global warming a fraud designed to turn the US into a third world country run by a small liberal elite who ignore the greenhouse gasses because they dont believe in the claptrap themselves, its just an excuse to attack the American middle class and keep people in poverty and thus easier to control.
Fuck off you global warming environ-whacko commies.
I know many liberals that got into housing investing during that craze and it was Obama who said we should hope that real estate prices shoot back up,when it crashed. I could see the crash coming in 2005 when housing prices were going up faster than inflation. Part of the problem was many Liberal programs that you Liberals love so much called the Community Reinvestment Act which forced banks to give out loans to people who could not pay them back, which forced an unsustainable pile of debt to accumulate in the financial sector, and a bunch of elitist liberals who were flipping houses again and again. Liberals then passed a horrible law called Dodd-Frank which basically is designed to make too big to fail worse by putting smaller banks out of busines, a kick back to the mega-Bankers who support and buy Liberals into office. So Liberals basically hav threatened to give us a banking monopoly.
Conservative economists were warning about the bubble but were ignored. Time Magazine is basically a mouthpiece for the liberal establishment, so its not surprising.
I am not a baby boomer but I think that the idea that we should basically de-industrialize and throw people back into poverty over this computer generated fraud called global warming is outrageous. You are basically saying that you want to jack up energy prices, throw more people into poverty and so on over your enviro-whackoism . I am very concerned about us being able to produce the energy that we need to keep energy prices down. I thought you were the people that worried about the poor affording heating oil in winter? Well, dumping the enviro-whacko agenda will keep heating oil prices down. Solar and wind? Give me a break, its a puny contribution to our energy needs. Sure, lets have some panels, but thats not going to get you off fossil fuels.
That would be a good idea, given SpaceX still immature technology, if you could build the satellites for cheap and turn them out in a year or less, you can afford the higher failure rate of launches, since you could get another one up quickly should one fail.
Hopefully they will not launch on SpaceX, I'd hate to have to wait another 20 years for the replacement.
The Atlas V and Delta IV are expensive but extremely reliable. Really they serve a different market from SpaceX, at least for now. SpaceX is good for easily replaceable mass produced commodity satellites where you can afford to lose a few and a backup can be available in months, while Delta/Atlas still best for extremely expensive one off satellites. The Delta IV was the only rocket we had that was tried and true and made of all american parts. While I want SpaceX to succeed, ULA eliminating the Delta IV seems to be a bit premature.
This is actually a cover up for the fact that American workers are being replaced by cheap foreign labor and H1Bs. All of these stupid millenial liberals who vote for Hillary because transgender bathrooms are cool need to get their head out of you know where, because NAFTA Hillary is totally bought off and paid for by the corporate and banking elite who want to vastly expand H1Bs and flood America with cheap foreign labor, and get us into every TPP bad trade deal, after all, Hillary hates the US and thinks you need to be taught a lesson for being a "racist" american by having your job stolen from you and your country stolen from you and given to invaders. Destroying the lives of millions of americans due to globalist policies is a high price to pay for transgender bathrooms to satisfy a bunch of know nothings with pierced noses and pink hair who think the US is the cause of every problem in the world, and that Cuba, China, and Iran, and the Islamic World are just so wonderful, and we have to commit suicide and kill ourselves off to prove we are good tolerant globalists who have a genocidal hatred of ourselves. Nice job destroying your own country, self hating traitorous tattoo covered retards, with your naive co-exist bumper stickers.
This isnt true. systemd isnt one big program that does it all, it consists of multiple modular programs that provide functionality. The main difference is they use a bus to communicate, this allows you to write a daemon that will start a program after some other event occurs.
Systemd is not a large, monolithic, program. It is multiple smaller program that share the same interface and can communicate with each other. the original init had its own bugs, too. Systemd is more modular and flexible than init, since it uses a modular approach and allows more flexibility with schedularing start up of programs.
A very strong signal reduces the probability it is ET, it increases the huge amounts of energy needed to create it. A real signal probably would be very faint.
I completely agree that sandboxes are vitally important, this doesnt change the fact that binary blob plugins need to go, many other problems with them, since they often do not work on the BSDs and create a lock-in to Windows as which can be seen with Unity3D and Shockwave. The browser should be 100% open source with no binary blob native code plugins and the thing should be heavily sandboxed and multiprocess on top of that.
Most Firefox memory use is due to memory leaks and caching of image data, rather than actual code. What the browser could and needs to do is allow for more on the fly decompression of image so off screen images are not stored in memory uncompressed and allow the user to set the maximum size of the image cache. Google Chrome seems to do a little better because each tab is a different process, there is more chance for memory to reclaimed by the OS when a tab is closed and the process killed. Firefox is one big process that just accumulates leaked memory.
I am for getting rid of ALL native code plugins and instead providing Javascript APIs for audio, video and 3D. Replacing one native code plugin API with another would be a huge mistake. Native code plugins are just begging for binary blob plugins that run only on Windows and therefore keep applications unavailable to Linux users, like Unity and Shockwave has done. Unity, Flash and Shockwave needs to be killed off for good.
Getting rid of NPAPI will be a win for Linux as it will stop companies from making OS dependant binary blob plugins and force them to use the built in browser 3D, audio and video APIs instead.
Removing NPAPI is actually a huge improvement, this has only been an invitation for companies to make a fleet of closed source, proprietary plugins that only run on Windows and which contain tons of security problems. Good riddance! Instead, if app developers need to do 3D and and video, they can use the built in browser APIs to do this, like WebGL, implemented better audited open source code available on all the platforms.
It is Netscape/Mozilla that is primarily to blame for Flash, Java, Unity, Shockwave plugin junk, because Mozilla for a while did not include built in Video and 3D capability for a long time despite enormous demand for this, but did provide plugin APIs which were just an invititation for Windows only plugins that would lock out FreeBSD and so on. There are still too many applications, often corporate custom apps used in corporate and education environments, and online games, that still use the Flash, Unity, and Java junk despite Flash disappearing from many sites like YouTube. We have Mozilla to blame for this plugin mess. Hopefully it will now go away for good and take all of its binary blogs, crappy proprietary code and so on with it.
Now, Firefox finally needs to get sandboxing and multiprocess to work to further security and safety, something that should have been done eons ago like Google Chrome has done.
Come on, we are far, far from the highest CO2 levels after the Paleozoic. The earth has been habitable at much higher CO2 levels than we have now. We are still in an ice age and the earth has been much warmer in productive eras such as the Eocene.
Apparently Microsoft paid for the article, because its not a Linux bug. If I am not mistaken, Windows and all other TCP OSs have this problem because of the fact TCP is an insecure protocol (by itself), OF COURSE you can rewrite the packets if you are a man in the middle. This has been known for a very long time. TLS will solve this problem of course.
Really, I think its all rather insignificant. It doesnt jeopardize consumer safety. People act like this is some kind of huge fraud, But I dont think it is, because the consumer still gets a car that is safe as advertised. Also, if you are really concerned about safety, the emissions related COLA restrictions are not your friend. Studies of COLA have shown that they actually decrease passenger safety in cars because heavier, more rigid metal body components are eliminated which leads to less protection for passengers.
Linux is a kernel. The Linux kernel is not used in this emulation layer, instead it emulates Linux system calls on the Windows kernel. So, there is very little if any Linux in this scheme. Its not Linux.
I don't think this is a wise use of Canonical's resources, a better use would have been greatly enhancing and accelerating Wine development with a goal of getting it to 99% app compatability within 2 years and as well funding a project to provide a driver compatability layer to allow Windows drivers to run on Linux. This would make it easier for people to make a complete move to Linux and to bring their apps and hardware with them, rather than creating a reason for people to stay on Windows.
