just better eh? By what standard? This is the same mentality that's overdoing the plumbing in everything else these days. The results are buggier, slower, harder to use products (phones, cars, hell anything someone's managed to cram a computer into) that cost more than they should. There's something to be said for keep it simple stupid, especially when it comes to basic functionality like init. KISS keeps it easily understood, therefore easily validated for bugs or security, and it just works.
Even with gentoo, which I have been using for many years, the python dependency of portage is strangling the software. It's slow as hell, and if something hoses the system it's likely it won't run because python and its wrappers have many dependencies. A package manager should run as a static binary if at all possible.
Whether it upped the ante or not is a subjective judgment. In this case, 'fixing' would require reengineering it from scratch. Why, when openRC and friends work just fine?
"Just accept it. It's inevitable. Just give in. Help make it better instead of fighting it." Yuck. Talk about slimy propaganda. Admittedly, I like the idea of the theoretically better process scheduling using kernel control groups, but the rest is really just overrated.
I used the mexican border issue as an example but the model applies elsewhere.
Yeah except that those indian immigrants are willing to work for much much lower wages and they haven't incurred the school debts the average american citizen has.. So now we have a glut of american citizens who can do the work, it's just that no one wants to pay them, and we get a bunch of tripe about how "there are jobs but no americans to fill them." It's bullshit. If we're willing to put the taxpayer on the bill for the cost of educating foreigners, then really, americans who need retraining should come first. There's no need to bring foreigners and their wives (and then their extended families) just for the sake of one worker.
I can guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of immigration comes from the poor and desperate looking for alternatives. Last I checked, we're in the hole 16 trillion. Enough is enough, and I do mean it across the board.
Look, when there are citizens, many of which lead productive lives up to this point, who now have to live on the streets because a bunch of leftists (who call themselves 'liberals') want to play marx on global scales, and/or a bunch of fortune 500s want to bottom out their labor markets, I draw the line. In case you haven't realized, the federal government hasn't had to answer to its citizens in almost 5 decades now at least. I am not responsible for whatever they supposedly did in your country or anywhere else. Perhaps you're right though. Perhaps it is time to pull the plug on the funding that goes overseas. As a tax payer, I am tired of funding these hell holes for the benefit of the relevant fortune 100s you're talking about.
As far as germany goes, you have a very interesting interpretation of history. I'm not sure it's very accurate, but who really knows, right? Each country's citizens can claim the others' media is full of propaganda and it devolves quickly into ad hominem attacks.. While we did poach a number of engineers from the nazis, we sure as hell didn't just attack them to drain them of talent. In fact, we entered the war rather late in the game when we were attacked by the japanese.
I think the whole immigration system needs an overhaul. Like I said, if you come here, that doesn't mean the taxpayer is now responsible to feed, clothe, and educate your family and their extended families (which is what some here are pushing for).
They're citizens. The US federal government is supposed to put the defense of the borders and safety of the legal population first. That's its job. You cannot ask the USA taxpayer to bail out every poor person on the planet. What are you going to do if/when the USA economy collapses and there is no one else to turn to? This isn't the USA of just post WWII. We're broke. Enough.
Your solution is just a false appeal to pragmatism: "oh well, they're coming, so now what?" like we don't have any choices here. We do. Mexico's mafia/drug drama is destabilizing that country fast, and we'd do well to wall ourselves off from it as best we can.
Citation? The whole south west is one giant 'citation' because we don't have the balls to defend our own borders anymore. You want a solution? How about this: Build that wall talked about a decade ago, except that each state along the border has a school attached to their segment of it. The mexicans (or whoever really) enter one side, and if they pass academic, health, and psychological rigor, they become american citizens who understand our system, can speak english literately, and who, most importantly, want to be american. They'll be more apt to respect our value of liberty, and pay taxes, such that they are willing to compete on equal turf with the rest of us. The others go home. The rate of influx is carefully controlled such that it basically shuts off when labor is plentiful. Anyone who tries to run the border for any reason is shot on sight. No excuses. No exceptions. Watch how quickly the mexican government reprioritizes its own revitalization when the USA isn't there to prop it up anymore.
Of course, this requires leadership that isn't afraid to make tough choices, but the current culture in washington is incapable of that. It only knows how to 'compromise' to the point of gridlock such that nothing of consequence is decided, except of course when it's time to chop out a sizable chunk of civil rights or citizens' income.
The point is that as long as we have americans who are out of work, we shouldn't be importing any labor. Until they are employed I don't want to hear about bringing more foreigners here who then have to be house broken on the taxpayer's back, and then immediately play the professional victim for a hand out to bring their half literate families over. That only bolsters the voting block of a particular group of politicians (I'll let you guess who), and few cents per share on the exchange for the fortune 500s who just want cheap slave labor. If the americans in question are not trained then at least use the taxpayers dollar to train them instead.
If these companies want to make money and host their headquarters in this country, then they gotta be a part of it, or else there will be no first world problems left to sell their first world solutions to (take a wild guess why). The fact that the president and his party care more about the plight of people who don't even live here over that of those who do, is another citation of evidence for just how disconnected washington is from reality and from the duties they're supposed to carry out.
Enough. No more anchor babies, no more 'spouses', no more bringing whole families over. This has to end now. Every time we do this, we make the immigrant countries' problems our problems. Right now there are americans living in the sewers because they can't get jobs. They get priority..or they should.
yes, except most universities will go along with it and force would be students to buy the books under those conditions or not go into law. This requires more than just voting with wallets.
Companies routinely underfund development staff, overwork them, and then end of life products in order to shove 2.0 out. I don't know why everyone's making a big deal out of 'heartbleed'. There have been exploitable faults in open and closed software many times before, some of which have been worse.
hmm, since affirmative action is inherently hypocritical for pushing discriminatory privilege along attributes it claims shouldn't matter, I'd say that hypocrisy is not limited to the wealthy private sector.
Take your 'soviet' newspeak and shove it up your ass.
I went through three different intel ssds within a year before I gave up and went back to raid spinning disks. They're fine for laptop use, and there's a place for them in data centers as caching drives, but they still suck for heavy workstation loads.
Of course. Get the post eternal september population to accept user-hostility as a default in software and networked devices, and watch the money roll in. It's really too bad.
leading the ipv6 charge? I kind of doubt that. Linux and bsd had it long before apple did...since the 6BONE days at least.
Even if so, you're only looking at one action. Their business goal is to drive people to their app store. There's nothing peer to peer about that. Besides, ipv6 gives more address space to all those devices they want to sell as part of the 'internet of things'. that way they can monitor usage to monetize and adjust their level of user-hostility, and be able to hand data over to the marketers and three letter agencies that request it.

Well hey, if america is unwilling to help itself first every now and then, it won't be around long to continue helping others.
Exactly.. What a bunch of shit that was.
I used the mexican border issue as an example but the model applies elsewhere.

they are one and the same.
talk about literally having big brother's nose up your ass..
but lense flares add atmosphere!
Right, so we're gonna bring those prisoners here and create a precedent for holding people without trial on american soil instead.. this is worse..
That only works for software that doesn't make use of accelerated graphics as the vm wrappers for that are less than stellar.
hmm, since affirmative action is inherently hypocritical for pushing discriminatory privilege along attributes it claims shouldn't matter, I'd say that hypocrisy is not limited to the wealthy private sector.

only 4k? probably more like 20..
Of course. Get the post eternal september population to accept user-hostility as a default in software and networked devices, and watch the money roll in. It's really too bad.
The key detail is what is defined as 'relevant'.
good point. terms like that get abused as they become pop terms, and then they lose their original meaning. I like 'greatest common divisor'
leading the ipv6 charge? I kind of doubt that. Linux and bsd had it long before apple did...since the 6BONE days at least.
Even if so, you're only looking at one action. Their business goal is to drive people to their app store. There's nothing peer to peer about that.
