  2. Re:libressl-2.1.3 on OpenSSL 1.0.2 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    LibreSSL is portable, it can be built on Windows. You don't know what portable means, "being able to be compiled by Microsofts bloatware" is not the definition of portable, windows-fanboy.

    your snarky little post is irrelevant and in no way addresses the issue I raise

  4. wee little issue on NASA, NOAA: 2014 Was the Warmest Year In the Modern Record · · Score: 0

    NASA recently changed the way they compute the average, it made 1998 NOT the warmest year on record. This hooplah could just be an artifact of that alternative method of calculation

    sitting on a macpro here at work, I'd say let's just have Apple fix yosemite bugs and problems. Not worrying about a dust speck in someone else's eye while they have two by four in their own

    No, rackfull of blades can't handle the hundreds of IO channels nor have 10TB common RAM that this mainframe could.

    yes, very hard to do when mounting disk from environment for forensic purposes where that command isn't available, or where systemd-journald is part of what failed in the giant monolithic mound of systemd

    you epitomize the lack of experience and common sense typifies systemd shills and Poettering in particular

    How many hundreds of servers do you administer?

    Those of use who admin huge data centers say systemd is bloated badly engineered garbage; we have experience and deal with the latest softares too, so can't be "dinosaurs"

  10. Re:What a monstruous... on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 1

    Wrong, the way to deal with the increasing complexity due to real progress and innovation is NOT to make something with *needless complexity*

    You have no engineering sense, typical of a sysD-tard

    oh? Linux Mint is huge, and Clem says adoption of SystemD is NOT a given, he has concerns. Other smart developers have LEFT Debian over the issue. Another major SystemD pusher, Red Hat, is being left behinds by admins tired of the way RH makes things nonstandard and with weird file locations.

    nonsense, there is plenty of work that those micros can't do, upon which modern civilization absolutely depends. There is no substitute. No one who has done serious financial IT work ever believed the mainframe was dying or going away.

    actually no, it is illegal to punch someone for insulting your mother, that is assault and battery and can have prison term. stupid pope should know that, but then he is leader of a dangerous and twisted religion.

  15. Re:Put away your pitch forks on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 2

    We who have critical thinking skills don't hate systemD for any alleged replacement of iptables. Its poor design, bugs and errant execution are enough reason. There is the kind of person with high IQ who has no common sense and so cannot make anything of practical value in the real world, instead floundering around making rube goldberg contraptions of needless complexity; such are the SystemD developers.

    in fact even the altruism argument about reduced pollution doesn't hold, there will not be enough electric cars produced in the next 10 years to make an iota of difference, especially as existing IC vehicle aren't going to be scrapped overnight. Instead, getting IC fuel from a smarter carbon neutral source, such as GM modified algae that eat cellulose to produce butanol or such is what we should be doing
