Requires roughly 25 percent greater efficiency for light bulbs, phased in from 2012 through 2014. This effectively bans the manufacturing and importing of most current incandescent light bulbs, though by 2013 at least one company had introduced a redesigned incandescent bulb for which it claimed 50 percent greater efficiency than conventional incandescents.[18]
Various specialty bulbs, including appliance bulbs, "rough service" bulbs, colored lights, plant lights, and 3-way bulbs, are exempt from these requirements as well as light bulbs currently less than 40 watts or more than 150 watts. This exempts stage lighting and landscape lighting.
Requires roughly 200 percent greater efficiency for light bulbs, or similar energy savings, by 2020.
So if they can make an incandescent that meets those requirements, who cares. Now go make another grievously uninformed post.
In my opinion such a landing add an unnecessary complexity.
If your goal is reducing launch costs, it's hardly unnecessary.
The Shuttle program showed that it is impractical.
The shuttle program showed that the shuttle was impractical. A large part of that impracticality was due to Congressional meddling.
I think it is just one more attempt to do it differently, not with a parachute, not as it was done originally in 1957 and 1961. Kind of its own, an US way.
A rocket that either burns up or lands in the water is a rocket that is no longer reusable.
I dunno about that. The most difficult thing about gaming on Linux is that troubleshooting is HARD. For example, imagine running a game and it doesn't even start, it just spits out the message "segmentation fault". Uh yeah...let me just type that into google...and...nope, just a vague description of a memory error. What could be wrong? Well, a lot of fucking things to be honest.
And yet right now, on Windows, the SF5 beta is crashing for me. There's even less I can do because there are no messages at all.
Worse, Ultra Street Fighter 4 randomly crashes out on me. No errors, no messages. Just up and vanishes mid-game. Other games give me, occasionally, random crash dialogs. So I doubt the troubleshooting situation can truly be worse on Linux.
Then again, there's a lot of folks who scoff at the NSA doing it, but hey, if Apple, Google, or FB had done it it'd be some sort of market miracle or some bullshit.
Bullshit yes, 'tis what you spout. If any of those had found a way to break encryption as the NSA had, I would expect a paper on it much like this and a push to deprecate whatever was broken. Particularly given their businesses are built upon secure communications. Instead, the NSA breaks it and uses it to spy on everyone.
In 2-3 decades, hardly anyone will travel on Earth.
I've heard claims that no one needs to travel today, that sound and video today provide all the experience you need. I suspect that your claim, like theirs, will fall on its face and people will be traveling just as much.
Why waste time transporting your body hundreds of miles when you can just rent a drone body at your destination?
Because the real world is very, very different from a pair of screens right up in your eyes and speakers on your ears. Assuming you can hear anything, with the buzzing. And you're even allowed to go somewhere, given how many places outright ban drones.
This is why the whole 'self-driving car' thing is attacking the wrong problem. It's like someone in 1900 trying to figure out how to clean up all the horse crap that will be clogging up our cities by the year 2000, when everyone will be able to afford a horse.
Transportation will change, but I don't foresee it going away in favor of sealing ourselves in our homes and plugging ourselves into VR headsets and acting as if we're "there" via noisy, buzzing drones.
What, because he refuses to work on Intel hardware for reasons explicitly stated?
If you can't get your changes past other people, to the point that you have to fork and maintain an entirely separate branch on your own, that's usually the sign of messy code or absolute loss.
No it isn't. It could be pure politics or someone simply being an ass. Ulrich Drepper kept a lot of code out of glibc that was perfectly good, to the point that Debian created eglibc. Eventually he was removed from his position and eglibc was merged with glibc. Why was the code kept out? Because Drepper was an asshole and treated everyone who contributed to the ARM portion like shit.
Ah! All the bits that I *don't* want in the kernel.
So you don't want Linux to be able to boot on modern PCs running UEFI with Secure Boot (damn near everything that ships today?!) Talk about a shortsighted, emotional response to a technical problem!
Indeed, people should just take vicious verbal abuse.
but the abuse won't come unless you decide to be a dumbass or get all arrogant about it.
Which is nonsense, and completely non-arrogant, technical arguments have been met with vicious personal attacks and verbal abuse. There's a shockingly large number of emotionally immature and insecure people in the Kernel community, and a great many people meet the wrath of those people for no good reason.
And they abuse because they know they can get away with it and others like you will apologize and defend it.
Except it's not the flip side because the only people the government can force to get vaccinated are soldiers. Forcing vaccines on people is not something that has been done, despite how many whiners there are in California.
I was interview maybe 1 or 2 years before the general public went ape shit crazy about systemd by a huge firm in the hotels/hostels business, and they were quite adamant they had Linux, but needed fresh blood to go full FreeBSD.
I often see claims like this, but they don't make any sense at all. Why would a corporation basically shit themselves and attempt to rip out infrastructure because of systemd? I have yet to hear anything that doesn't sound like reactionary whining, and most companies don't operate in a reactionary "OMG FUCK YOU POTTERING I KEEL YUO" manner.
The "problem" with systemd seems mostly manufactured. Given it's covered by the LGPLv2, I suspect RMS's only concern would be that it isn't under the GPLv3.
Everything you write seems to be unsupported assertions, attempting to drive to a pre-determined conclusion.
That's the downside to the software defined radio approach
None of these routers are doing SDR. The concern comes from power levels the routers use, and that only in the 5GHz band.
You can always get a router that takes a FCC-approved wireless card and route to your heart's content.
Many wireless cards control power emissions in the same way the cheap wifi routers do, via a simple register. Should we lock down every PC to ensure no one ever drives power levels above the rated maximum?
Which are also real issues, mostly perpetrated by corporate slop and a refusal to pay for the externalities of their production.
hazardous chemical releases by our own government's negligence, and corruption of potable water supplies
Which was an accident by a contractor that further polluted a river already polluted by mining operations done haphazardly decades ago - mining that polluted heavily but the costs for which were pushed off on society at large.
Su is not a broken concept; it's a long well-established fundamental of BSD Unix/Linux.
You're pretty much making an argument to tradition here. The correct thing to do would be to counter his claims:
what "su" is supposed to do is very unclear. On one hand it's supposed to open a new session and change a number of execution context parameters (`uid`, `gid`, `env`,...), and on the other it's supposed to inherit a lot concepts from the originating session (`tty`, `cgroup`, `audit`,...). Since this is so weakly defined it's a really weird mix&match of old and new paramters.
I would like more detail from him on why and how it's broken, and how his replacement is truly different from "su -" but since it doesn't appear to be mutually exclusive with the use of "su" or "su -", other than typical reactionary hate I don't see what the problem is.
When I can buy ebooks without respect to region, I'll hop on board. But as it stands, I can't buy books published outside my home country, and as we've seen in the past, if you take your ebooks outside the country and your reader goes on line (particularly the Kindle) it'll lock you out of your books.
On top of that, the ebooks cost more than the paperback.
Get back to me when obvious negatives aren't being piled on to ebooks.
I love it when anonymous cowards make emotional, knee-jerk reactions to things like this. It shows how truly hollow most of the opposition to systemd is.
I agree. Whenever someone makes a technical decision I don't like, rather than presenting counter-arguments and alternative solutions, I resort to jokes about murder and terrorism!
Yeah, because abusive, horrible people are in desperate need of protection from those who tell them to grow up!
a KKK member baker from making a black person's wedding cake
Being a member of the KKK isn't protected, mainly because it's optional. They have to serve the public regardless of their immature, childish opinions - not that it'd matter, most KKK members wear their hate on their sleeve.
That's why they're all running to 8chan or Voat - they need somewhere that caters to their emotional immaturity.

They did legislate efficiencies.

So if they can make an incandescent that meets those requirements, who cares. Now go make another grievously uninformed post.
And a bunch of the others include fancy operating systems as well.
Tragically, in the category you linked:

Perhaps because you don't care to pay for a Windows license, or agree to Microsoft's EULA?
Your statement seems rather misleading, it seems to imply they dropped Linux support.
Not as if that mattered to the idiots in the story. Or any other moron who's attacked a Sikh after mistaking them for Muslim.

You missed the important bit, the part about the goal being a reversible contraceptive. You can snipped after you've had all the kids you'll have.

No offense, but I see lots of attacks like this on systemd. Can you explain how it is "likely a new security threat" or is it simply FUD?

Yeah, it'll be so terrible because... because...
