    Well you know the Chinese are building all those empty cities in Africa for those driven out of the USA by Oprah and her marauding hordes of Dark Crusaders? They'll have to build microelectronics in a sweat shop 12 hours a day to pay the rent, and that's the lucky ones not digging rice plantations! I read it in a blog!

  4. our poor cops on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: 0

    in Chicago cops beat people for jollies and rape women detained for "suspected of being a prostitute". They won't be too keen on use of body cameras to "record entire incidents" (except for their own private porn/sadism collection that is)

    The old issue of nationality vs ethnicity ambiguity.

    Ethnic Greeks living in Egypt, making them Egyptians?

  6. Re:On the other hand... on Limiting the Teaching of the Scientific Process In Ohio · · Score: 1

    I was wondering, this "scientific process" of which this bill speaks, is that the same as the "scientific method"; or are they specifically legally forbidding instruction in all aspects of scientific endeavor such as making hypothesis, peer review, scientific models and theories, standards, designing experiments, what is meant by a "scientific law", etc. etc.? No reason they should be half-assed about enforcing the ignorance of science's systems

    For what, that is not news, those are claims in a blog. And even if true, there is no word on what actually was delivered, could have been baby powder.

    There are very simple ways of having brand identity across different UI. Logo, same icons, etc.

    Not a big deal since scale is base 10 logarithmic, 75 percent more is somewhat *less* the energy release than going from magnitude 6.5 to 6.7 for example which is 100% jump.

    Why do other ethnic groups in that same cold live much longer? Remember the claims made by the article are about their present diet (which still is meat and fat mostly) and lack of certain diseases, when the truth is they don't have those diseases because they are flopping over dead sooner than everyone else.

    You are confused, some complicated black box may be fine for a desktop to make easy to use for non-tech user, but production servers are different matter. That's where experienced admins do not want nor need such a thing.

    In other words, we have launchd for mac osx and that's fine for the desktop/mobile consumer, but not how a BSD admin wants to boot his BSD server.

    No, there is not necessary a way to trace the origin of a random unlabeled tank or barrel of chemical. Could have been produced decades ago, or produced in a place that cares not for labeling. Or could have been transferred from one container to another by unknown middleman at some point.

  25. Re:at first i was with the old school crowd on Choose Your Side On the Linux Divide · · Score: 1

    A desktop system, perhaps one that is intended to appeal to non-tech audience, might be a good use for systemd. But a production servers, where quick troubleshooting to a mission critical system is a crucial requirement, does not need a massive and complex black box that requires many moving parts. That's what is bad about systemd, needless complexity in the boot process.
