    yes and systemd near the end of this year will have evolved to the point where it reached back in time and demanded its creation. If we see that happen again and again we know it's just systemd doing it up/down oscillation screwup thing it sometimes does

    false; a government controlled by, in the pockets of and in debt to a banking cartel does not follow the desires of its citizens. examples: USA, UK.

    your childlike naivety is humorous.

    They were trying to portray as bad certain packages are by default not allowed, but its because of design decisions. of course that can be overridden...but I don't even get what basis their claim of no kernel updates comes from, of course it does them but doesn't jump kernel versions

  4. nonsensical summary - anti-Mint FUD on Linux Mint Hack Is an Indicator of a Larger Problem (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The site in question used WordPress, which gets hacked early and often. Being hacked had nothing to do with how many Mint developers there are; it's more a commentary on flaws most php based platforms have.

    Linux Mint chooses to blacklist certain applications in line with the project goals; these of course can be overridden at user's choice.

    What a pile of FUD, I smell jealousy of Linux Mint's success as unlike Ubuntu the team does listen to end user needs and wants; while Ubuntu instead crams badly designed UI (Unity) down throats that neither meets needs nor was requested by anyone

  5. Re:Predictive power on Five-Dimensional Black Hole Could 'Break' General Relativity (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    but remember the scary thing that happened when newtonian mechanics were found to be inaccurate and incomplete, all the buildings and bridges and engines we've designed that used them fell apart as the predictive power evaporated.

    oh wait I'm full of shit

    wrong. they run at fully rated power except near refueling outages as insulation is removed for inspections and repairs and efficiency goes down.

    yes, former nuclear pre-outage and outage scheduler here

    the 60-70% number was accurate in the 1980s, in the 90s went from 75 to 90% by 2000 where it has hovered for the last 15+ years

    er yes you lying sack of shit.

    U.S. plants have been operating at 90% for the last 15 years, that 60-70% number is from the 1980s and before

    oh really? I worked at nuke plant; the correct answer in USA is "over 90%", the 60-70% number hasn't been true since the 90s

    Plenty of people will have moral or philosophical or religious objection to other kinds of products/services/careers advertised in theatre ads. For example, the armed forces advertise. products that cause the massive increase in diabetes in the US advertise. bankruptcy mill lawyers advertise. etc. etc.

    tough shit, suck it up and endure, then enjoy your movie.
