    Wait, so the telephone act of 1996 was only released to the public a couple weeks ago? Why dont you use your brain, and your eyes, and read the comment I replied to before being a defensive fanboy and jumping to vastly incorrect conclusions. He was talking about the current rules that the commission was voting on with the change to title 2.

    And like it did to the only other segment under title 2 right? I mean I just hate it every time I say a curse word on the phone and it is bleeped out...

    There is no what it "might do" it is what they have been actively doing, and trying to get money out of...Also there is nothing in this that allows the NSA to get taps on it.

    Well power and gas have limits, as they finite resources.. electrons being passed down a line as no real known limits, it is an infinite resource. It is based on a finite resource, power, but that is already taken into account in the bill.

    I think you mean 8 pages of regulations, 300 pages of summary. I mean unless you are claiming that citing justifications is the same thing as a regulation... Also what do the people lose, besides the ability for the ISPs to unilaterally act as paid gate keepers to us...

    They already have the key parts of it there, for someone who would actually look instead of be spoon fed by an entertainment network:

    What process has been in secret? He has been open from the start. Just because republicans state it has been a secret does not actually mean it has been, unless you watch Fox news.

    Yes, because what we have now is really working...The ISPs brought this on themselves, they are trying to at like toll boths to me, I dont pay them to be that, and I dont have the ability to stop it. If they had not acted in this way then this would not have happened.

    How long does it take in your mind to prove that something does not harm you? Studies showing smoking was harmful took decades to show, that does not "speak volumes to the lack of impact" smoking had on people. There may or may not be an impact but your logic on it is fairly weak.

    Or you've never written software for Windows before

    Just like most pro systemd commentators that one quote explains it all. We are not talking about people who are writing programs, we are talking about the people who are using it on a day to day basis to manage the programs.

    The flexability was what made linux what is is today, which probably the best server OS on the market. The flexibility to control everything to the minute level.

    If you need something that does not take an understanding of the system, which removes the flexibility of the Sys amin to troubleshoot things fully, keep with windows.

    Ah, another systemd complainer, who of course can't be bothered to have a real Slashdot account.

    However, the fact that systemd comes with the "USE US OR FAIL!" dire warning

    There's no such thing in systemd. Slackware (always the last to just on new trends) seems to be getting along fine without it.

    There are CONSTANT statements that if you do not use systemd you will not be able to use primary Linux distros in the future, because all software will supposedly be gobbled up by it as a dependency... To try and now make out like those dont exist is pretty silly.

    Given you only want to see complains as "whining" this indicates you do not want a free system.

    systemd is LGPL FOSS, so it's just as Free as anything else. You seem to be using the appeal to emotion fallacy.

    Again you are using half truths, or atleast feigning half understanding, or it may be possible that you dont understand the linux culture. It is pretty clear that he is talking about free in the sense of free beer, not free as in not paying for it.

    Pretending any discord against systemd must be illogic and panic is just your childish method for not having to argue against the problems highlighted.

    Because all the "problems" you cite are generally overblown or not problems at all. Please, show me where prominent distro maintainers are criticizing systemd and refusing to integrate it into their distros. The ramblings of some disgruntled random people on Slashdot are not equivalent to the opinions of experts in the field.

    Now you are A) doing exactly what the quoted person stated ,pretending the problems are overblown or not problems at all, when there have clearly been (debug fiasco) and are issues. You then make it seem like the only person who can show a problem are distro maintainers. Maintainers are typically not the mass admins who have to support it, possibly trying to move the goal posts. There is no doubt that system d helps the maintainers, but it also harms the admins.

    Using a name which is used by the VAST majority of one race, and infer that the persons with that name is a thief. You can say, well it is not about race, but then you would be forgetting the first part. There was also not something to "shut up " from him, so that argument fails as well.
