I won't say hobbling. I have both the fx-8150 and the fx-8350 and they are both de finally behind on the curve when it comes to technology. Both of these processors where gifted to me by a friend who was sick of always being behind on the curve when it comes to AMD. He hopped over to Intel with a couple of i7's last year.
I'm convinced unless something changes an AMD gets on the ball with this release, my current AMD systems will be the last AMD systems I own.
3. The user communities were very different. Linux users were very open and helpful to newbies. BSD forums were hostile to anyone that didn't already know everything.
I will go with this. When I reported a bug in the Amiga version of bsd that was causing issues in machines with 4mb of memory. The response from the bsd admins was "well get more memory." I'm intoning it politer here than they responded with too. I interpreted it as "fuck off", which I did.
On the other hand the lead developer of the Amiga 68K kernel, I can't find his name, was very friendly in his emails to me.
Oh and your definition of magic might also need adjusting using the same declination.
My definition of "magic" doesn't need to be adjusted. There is no such thing as magic. Just laws and principals that we do not understand at this current time. To define them as "magic" would put us on the same level as the homo erectus cowering caves as the thunder and lightning flashed in the storm.
Tests are showing the damn thing works. When the Chinese said worked I would have rather believed there where fairies flying out someones ass. But now that NASA tests are showing repeatable results there might be something here.
But no matter what, if the damn thing does work, it does not defy the laws of physics. It might work based on some laws we don't understand or some principal that we haven't thought of. But it isn't magic.
Nice. When is the last time this actually happened? I'm genuinely asking, since it seems to me there's been a *lot* of bills/laws passed that are actually unconstituional, and apparently resulted in zero reprocussions.
It has never happened, and never will happen as long as the ones that make the rules, also sit in judgement of themselves. For something like this to happen it would have to be put forth by a constitutional amendment put in place by the states at a constitutional convention. For it to be effective all the penalties and fines would have to be automatic, without appeal, or trial.
We are already a one party system, people just don't want to accept it. Democrat, Republican, it really doesn't matter. With no checks and balances in place on individual members one group will be more than happy to trample our rights.
Republicans, our rights to free speech, reasonable search and seizure, and a womans rights to her own body. Democrats it would be our rights to bare arms, or arm bears, and probably freedom from/to religion.
Same song, same dance, different tune. An I'm not even sure about the tune. Everytime I see a politician the theme song from the Benny Hill Show starts running through my head.
There already are repercussions. These are elected positions, no?
They are elected positions but with the system as it currently stands rarely do these people get removed from office. Voters simply don't care as long as they get their bread and circuses. An with 2, 4, and 6 year election cycles there are still to much time between elections for a rogue politician to inflicted damage that can take years to undo.
When a senator or house member sponsors and pushes through a bill that is found to be unconstitutional they lose their seat, right then, right there. Those that actually voted for the bill are fined a nice lump sum, 10K at least. If it is found that they sponsored or voted for a bill for personal gain, prison time.
With the prospects of losing a their seat, being fined, or jail time these "representatives" will pay a hell of lot more attention to what they sponsor and vote for. There will a lot less or "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" in Washington.
Once a seat is lost, it will stay lost till the next election cycle. The state or district that elected that member loses that vote in congress. Punishment for electing the idiot in the first place.
Police who are doing these things should be fired without a pension, and criminally charged.
I've been saying this for years, more or less. When a civil servant, from the town dog catcher to president of the US, breaks a law, or writes a law they should be held accountable.
In the case of a police officer when they interpret the law wrong there should be repercussions. When a politician sponsors a bill and its found unconstitutional, there should be repercussions. When a DA files charges against someone and loses, there should be repercussions.
I prefer to put my faith in science. Peter F. Hamilton's The Night's Dawn Trilogy is a series of books based on what happens when our technology becomes so advanced we know what happens after death.
So what does happen after our technology does become so advanced we can bring anyone back from the dead?
Maybe he just wanted to preemptively discourage the subsequent bitching and moaning we'll hear from you once you do experience the problems of systemd first-hand?
Why would I bitch about something I have been using for 2 years? I'm very familiar with systemd, and doubt I would bitch about it.
Someone seriously, went to the effort to mod this down? Was it because I suggested that I might go to a dist with systemd on it? Really, don't you have better things to do than worry about what is running on my bitch box?
Yeah, the longer you wait to upgrade, the more stuff tends to break during the process. You may be past the point of no return.
I'm already starting to see that. Most of the stuff I use runs fine. Mysql, plexserver, samba and a few other apps. I'm already seeing stuff that will not compile for it. XBMC will not compile on Centos6, and nether will the latest version of HandBrake.
XBMC is not really an issue, but Handbrake I use all the time to encode stuff for the plex server.
I suppose I should start looking to upgrade my old Centos 6.6 box. I'm running a 2.6.32 kernel on that. I've thought about upgrading to the new Centos 7,0 but I'm not sure I want to fuck with it. The current system I have works perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do.
Instead of asking "what now", doesn't anyone wonder why TC chose to self-destruct, invoking its own canary and refusing to let anyone keep the name?
I don't see why anyone should bow down to what the original developers wanted. They walked away from the project so the name and the code should be up for grab.
Anyone want to pick up where they left off and use the name truecrypt should go right ahead and do so. What are the original devs going to do? Sue them?
I've always felt that if someone calls for the restriction on free speech they should be required to wear a muzzle for 24 hours. Maybe after a day or so of being deprived of their rights, they will be more tolerant of other peoples.
At one point, if your logging didn't work, it broke your keyboard so you could not terminal in. Don't you love it when two unrelated services with no logical dependencies can some how affect each other?
Oh horse shit. Crap like that has been on my linux bullshit list long before systemd rolled out of the gate.
Many years ago when I was running linux at home 24/7 as my main OS I installed several rpms from redhat not related to keyboards and shit. All of a sudden my keyboard stopped working, for no reason what so ever. Other issue like this had happened before but this was the last straw.
That night I pulled my data off the system and installed windows on that box. I still run linux as a desktop at work and I have a linux server at home but I'll never run linux as my primary desktop at home.
Nonsense. Nobody is any ones enemy here. Just people with different points of view.
Init is still good for many things. I still use it on my personal server at home. I imagine that it will be good for another 5 years or so. But, still there will come a time where init will hold back development in the server market too.
You need to get caught up on modern theories. The big bang and the head death of the universe is old news. The hot new theory is the universe had no beginning and will have no ending.
Sticking to old and reliable has it merts too but not when it gets in the way of trying something new. Change for changes sake is seldom good but sticking to the old an familiar just because its familiar is seldom good too.
Being forced to change can be called evolution. As technology progresses there will always be a forced change to adapt to the new technology. Init is 20 years old, its old, and reliable but it will stand in the way of new and better ways to do things. An like it or not linux is moving away from its unix roots. It will have to do that to survive and continue to be a usable system.
Init has, had a 20 year run. That is a good run for any system.
Yeah, that was me for awhile. Systemd has it's problems but over all I've not seen any real issues with it that didn't just simply involve me learning a new way of doing something. I've been using fedora, now 21, on my desktop at work for 2 years now. I've not really seen any issues at all with the it doing its job. Infact fedora 21 has been the best workstation OS I've used.
I was against systemd for a while, I'm still kind of iffy on some of the issues it has. I don't like binary logfile over ascii log file. I've stated my reasons for that before.
Over all systemd is a new way of doing things, and I think that is a lot of the resistance to it. Init is 20 years old, might be time to try something new.

It was a little rocky start but now, after a few updates, it works flawlessly on mine.
To bad about being discontinued but all things come to an end. It's a damn good tablet, I expect to get a few more years of use out of mine.

Yeah, like that is going to happen. Once they realize there is no money in linux games, that will be the end of that.
