    If KDE was any good it would depend on systemd.

    You know exactly what I mean: window manager and init system Which is exactly why you're fudging and dodging. Pathetic.

  4. Mathematically, "as safe as" = "as dangerous as".

    Marketingmentally they're quite different.

  5. I saw a Belgian police car stop and give way to a car driving the wrong way down a one way street.

    When I say driving, I mean weaving.

    It was 4 in the morning.

    Is there anywhere else in the world they wouldn't have pulled them over?

    That's like saying it isn't really brass, it's just a mixture of copper and zinc.

    Uh...I find that difficult to believe....considering it looks like a giant armored webcam with a microphone.

    I'm wondering if a double-blind test with dummy cameras would answer any questions.

  8. There totally is a context. It's called the USA in the 1990s. I was working there and Asians meant Chinese, Japanese, Koreans etc. What in Britain would be referred to as "Orientals".

    Indians included Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, not that there were so many there then.

    I didn't mention Africa. Was that an intentional strawman or was that you going off at half-cock without having a clue what you were talking about? Fail either way.

    When you can give me a reason why a desktop manager should have an interdependency with a window manager, and your answer takes into account how examples of each have worked fine for years without getting into bed then you can accuse me of throwing FUD.

    P.S: It's = it is.

    Did you get funny euro symbols and circumflexes like when manishs posts a story here?

    I wondered if that was part of the joke.

  15. I've just been pondering this very problem myself. I've got a machine with an i7 950 and a stock Intel cooler. If I get the 8 cores much beyond 2.5G (out of 3.07) it's hitting 75C.

    I've got an older machine I don't use much with a fancy heatpipe ninja cooler, but it's a socket 775; so not only is the hole spacing different, but the mobo to heatspreader height is too.

    So while I hate the little things with a passion, I suspect the reason they don't use bolts is so some clumsy sod doesn't overtighten them.

    What is absorption to some is unification to others.

    And to others it's lock-in.

    I'd rather be able to change the car stereo without replacing the engine.

    The inid system does not need any of that stuff, the systemd project aims to present a unified set of administration tools

    And that's the problem, right there.

    the justification to replace initd is not based on a full understanding of its capabilities

    I can't fathom what it is based on. Ego? The sane decision would have been to put it there as an option and let users choose.
