Believe it or not, the south african stuff was higher quality but the worker treatment was probably worse than the chinese even. That is not to say that it was particularly good, it was just relatively somewhat better. If I want good stuff from a modern mill, I get Thyssen-Krupp. That said, the best structural steel I ever used, bar none, was prewar Bethlehem old stock. That stuff was simply amazing. And yes indeed, its a race to the bottom for the workers (me) while the bosses are racing to the top....
Seriously, who cares how fast it boots? Unless you're on some tablet type device I see no reason why boot speed should even be a thing. The old initscripts are plenty fast enough for my laptop even.
The issue that I have with Lennarts work is that it goes completely against the design philosophy of *nix that made it so great in the first place. It also broke a bunch of stuff that relied on the old behavior - a big no-no and an instant turn-off.
*shrug* Sounds like normal corporate america to me... my experience is that *all* the players are like that. And that is why the country is in the shitter. Hey, its the American way.
There was also a dot-com boom and this penguin guy to help them along in the 90's. I hope IBM had a "plan B" and I hope they adopt some stable and sane HR policies... I think that would go a long ways towards a "3rd chance"
True, repair work is long gone for consumer goods. But industrial/commercial equipment gets rebuilt all the time. No, there isn't enough of that kind of work to make up for the millions of jobs lost since 1980. (I do industrial repair/maintenance for a living)
Dunno about witches or ghosts, but the Rothschilds have been around a while... seriously, read the link, somebody did their homework. Its spooky how things are being manipulated.
Those broadband networks were paid for a decade before these kids were born, by guys like me with our municipal bond issues and subscriber fees. And if you say anything about "upgrades" I'm gonna laugh right in your face.
"Why should I shell out $500 every year when I can just wait until they have something that is a real improvement in three years?"
Because these poor starving companies depend upon you to do your patriotic duty to support the economy and buy new shit as often as possible... after all you're not some kind of greedy socialist are ya?

Maybe he should put systemd on it. He can use emacs for a fully-featured desktop.
Anyone else remember this guy? Ancient UNIX on a nintendo gameboy.

... and thats not NEARLY enough by an order of magnitude. (disclaimer: I have been in the biz for 25 yrs, and the chinese stuff is the worst...)
THIS +1000

Steve Jobs would actually back you up on this.

I think the American People shoud get together to pool their resources, and hire a lobbyist to represent them in Congress.
... and this entire thread went to shit, as predicted.

You call it "bing". We call it "bung". We knew all about the goodness of corn before America was america. Mazola tastes fresh and good.

:D looks to me like their work is still ongoing, in the form of the 1% and the illuminati
Delaware and Nevada are still subject to the IRS.

remember back when l0pht got bought out? Or CDC? Yeah, stuff like that is why I didn't pursue security as a career.
This X 1000. Jail time is the only thing that makes some people slow down and think.
Cool, it can't happen soon enough. The trilateral Commission needs their dirty laundry aired so us regular people have a chance in life.
