Note that the busybox maintainer didn't remove systemd support because it conflicted with the UNIX philosophy. He removed it because he wasn't being supported by the systemd project. It's probably the responsible thing to remove the code rather than leaving unmaintained code in the busybox tree. There's nothing stopping someone else from updating it submitting it again if they are going to support it.
Most unix shells take a bunch of commands and combine them into one executable. Busybox is designed for embedded environments which might not otherwise have a command line userspace at all. Typically only a subset of the hundeds of commands are compiled into busybox for a particular environment.
If you have to repair a vehicle frequently, it is not reliable - unless you mean that you can rely on it to fail regularly. Electronic fuel injection has replaced the mechanical carburetor. Neither are manual devices. The carburetor is a simpler device to repair, but much less reliable and also less efficient. We are long past the time when self maintenance is a worthy consideration for the majority of of the population.
There's even more Mac games than Linux games on steam and Macs don't have DirectX either. For games that require leading edge graphics I would tend to agree that deviating from DirectX isn't commercially acceptable. However most games these days are ported from the consoles which have much less powerful GPUs than a typical gaming PC.
It's not OpenGL per se that's the problem, it's the quality of the OpenGL drivers under Linux. Having decent OpenGL drivers is a lower priority than good DirectX drivers for NVidia and AMD. Intel does a good job, but they are not the gamer's choice.
It's not safe to say that. A lot of Linux code for new features lives in separate git trees or patches for months or years before it's pulled into the mainline kernel. Some Linux distributors include non-mainline code with their shipping kernels. For example ksplice has been around since 2008. It's not a mainline kernel feature, but Oracle includes it in their Linux distribution.
Miracast is the name for the industry standard which Intel WiDi is part of.
If your TV can't nativly receive Miracast (TV manufacturers give it different names. e.g. Samsung Allshare Cast) you can buy a miracast receiver dongle. That's the easy bit. From browsing intel forums, it seems WiDI is mainly supported on ultrabooks which have all Intel components, including the wireless network adapter and display.
I see lots of retailers in my area using battery powered card readers that do transactions via the cell phone network. I expect they would work fine in a power outage as long as the cellular network was up.
You can save a lot of money if you can live without owning a car at all.
For me insurance, registration and licensing are fixed costs. I'm paying them just by owning a car at all. Depreciation cost has an age component and at distance travelled component. Oil, tires and other service items are incremental costs which are significant, but less than fuel cost.
I use a mixture of car, bicycle and public transport. I think my biggest saving is that I'm happy to keep and older model car. I know if I drove everywhere, I would be strongly tempted to buy a newer and more luxurious car.
The 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 version of openssl do not have support for TLS 1.1 or 1.2. If you want to stick to using SSLV3 and TLS 1.0, good luck to you. Have you heard of the POODLE attack?
There is an even simpler measurement that correlates well with obesity risks - waist circumference. e.g http://www.healthdirect.gov.au...
No scales or body fat measuring devices are required, only a tape measure. The old excuses like being "big boned" or having high muscle mass don't apply. Don't focus on weight, which has many confounding factors. If your waistline decreases because you lose abdominal fat, you will be healthier.
The vast majority of road wear is caused by heavy trucks. If you only consider road wear, trucks would be taxed at 100-1000 times the rate of cars. Somehow, I can't see that working politically.
That's a bad comparision. The AMD FX-9590 ($260) is beaten by the i7 4790 CPU ($310). The $1050 i7-5960X CPU doesn't have any competition, which is probably why Intel charges such a large premium. I couldn't justify the purchase of one, but some people have to have the best, regardless of the cost.
AMD cpus are only slightly cheaper than roughly equivalent Intel CPUs. I think they are good value for multithreaded performance, but Intel still has the lead for single thread performance which is important to most desktop users.
I still don't know why AMD doesn't have a NUC/BRIX style platform. These are growing in popularity for media boxes and non-gamer desktops. They don't need the fastest or lowest power CPUs, just a middle of the road performance. I think AMD could compete quite will in this sector.
Determining the right metrics isn't easy. Repairs minus returns and complaints might be a better metric, but event that would be flawed, because a percentage of complaints and returns might be on a false premise. When metrics are emphasized they are usually gamed. Even discounting incompetency a tech might cherry-pick the easy repairs to increase the number. Relying on numbers without understanding of what those numbers mean is a recipe for failure in any industry.
Twitter isn't profitable. Therefore it's value is based on perception, i.e. the belief that it will someday become profitable.
I do agree that the title is misleading. If the earnings report had been release at the normal time the price would still have dropped. This happens all the time with stocks. There possibly was a stampede on this occasion, with people trying to sell quickly to beat the market.
If you can make a robot able to understand the moral implications of it's actions then you won't need to program it with rules like this. If you can't then regard the robot as a tool and regulate its use appropriately. Children are not allowed drivers licenses. Why would a responsible person allow a child to use a robot that could be fatal to the child?
The desktop market is shrinking. Market share != user share. By market, I mean the amount of money that's spent on desktops. There's the trend to use mobile devices (iOS and Android) over desktops for many functions. It's not necessarily that people are getting rid of their desktops, but they are relying on them less and it's no longer seen as essential to have the latest and greatest on the desktop because the emphasis is now on phones.
Even Microsoft will giving free upgrades to Windows 10 for home users of windows 7 and 8. Formerly desktop OS upgrades were a lucrative source of income. I suspect that it's worth more to them to sacrifice the dwindling income from selling upgrades in order to be able to drop support for the older versions sooner.
Commercial distributions focus on the server as that's what most of their customers are playing them for. Also, server support is somewhat simpler than desktop support as there are fewer varieties of enterprise server hardware than desktop hardware and it changes less often. The typical scenario is that rookie user buys a new notebook and tries to install Linux, eventually giving up in disgust as there's no driver support for a key piece of hardware. The hardware support will probably come in six months, but it's too late by then for the rookie. Old hands know this and carefully research what they buy to ensure that the drivers are available.
There's never been much of a Linux desktop market. Home users rarely pay for Linux support and business users generally choose Linux or BSD for specialized fields or as a cheaper alternative to Windows/Mac for limited function locked down desktops.
I agree. Currently Chrome, IE and Firefox only support http/2 over TLS. Just because the standard doesn't enforce encryption, doesn't mean that servers and clients can't mandate encryption.

SPARC T series or M series?
Can you explain why Oracle's Exadata systems run Oracle DB on Linux and Intel x86 processors if Solaris on SPARC is so much better?

My doctor's clinic does charge more for evening or Saturday appointments.
I image that's so they can pay extra to the doctors who work those shifts.

Android doesn't use Java. Android used to use the Dalvik runtime environment. In Android 5 they introduced ART (Android Run Time) to replace Dalvik.
Dalvik and ART work like Java in that they execute compiled bytecode, but they are separate implementations and are not compatible with Java bytecode.
You can write your own source code in the Java language and compile it to Dalvik/ART bytecode.
Oracle is mad that Google made something that worked similarly to Java, but is not Java and isn't bytecode compatible.
Do you think the BBC should have disregarded his transgressions as they did with Jimmy Savile?

The complaint is on behalf of Asian-Americans, that is American citizens of asian race or ethnicity.
If the 1500 children of mainland Chinese billionaires are actually American citizens, they should not be discriminated against.

The price is a reflection of supply vs demand. If the demand changes drastically, but the supply does not, expect the price to change as well.
