So your complaint is "it's new and isn't compatible with older configurations". Oh well. We have to get off INIT at some point. It's a broken mess. Sometimes you just have to rip the band aid. I'm not a huge fan of binary logs but it isn't the end of world. You can still use syslog if you like. The problems systemd solve vastly outweigh any complaints you or anyone else have put forth.
You people amaze me. Systemd isn't hurting the reputation of Linux. Anyone who isn't already using Linux has no idea what systemd is.. Almost every complaint I have seen about systemd is about theory and not real world. All that PID1 and "Unix Philosopy" bs. If anything systemd will be a major step forward to people adopting linux. Init is terrible on so many levels and is vastly different across distributions. Just the fact that I have to know each distribution's init quirks is super annoying when you administer servers. It's also a horribly broken concept. Systemd actually works like a service system should, where you can actually account for processes and states without having to program ridiculous bash scripts to do all the logic.
HTML, which was supposed to separate content from presentation, no longer does,
This one really annoys me, because it would be so simple to do. If HTML allowed constants, you could have one place (a separate file, or put them at the top of your file) where all your text and images are defined. Then you could build the HTML, and easily move your constants around as the design changed. Simple solution, easy to implement, effective.
It would also solve the problem that CSS has, where you want to use the same color scheme in several different elements; but if you want to change the color scheme, you have to change the colors in multiple different places. With definable constants, you could change it in one place and be done.
There are more than a few ways to mimic constants in CSS without having to give CSS programming logic.
Stop with the Paleo nonsense. That's all it is...nonsense. The Paleo diet is totally lacking any scientific backing and so does this. Even if ancient people didn't sleep as much that doesn't mean it was healthy. Modern nutrition has allowed people to reach their maximum height and strength. If you want to live like an ancient person have fun being 4 foot 10 and 70 pounds.
Maybe you're not a US citizen so I will explain how it works to you. You are suspected or "thought" to be behind a crime. If the evidence warrants the charge a trial is conducted. The trial determines whether you actually did it. I know this must be confusing for some people living in countries where you are guilty immediately and the trial is just a show.
They aren't forced. There are things called extradition treaties. Read about them. They are the exact opposite of force. They are an agreement between two countries. Now to be fair I'm not sure the US has a treaty with Ukraine but they CHOSE to send him and why wouldn't they? They are looking for the United States' backing more than ever now. It only makes sense to turn over a criminal.
Mono's intention was never to be a conduit for running Microsoft apps. People trash Mono all the time because they don't understand that it is simply an open source implementation of the C# language with it's own hooks into GNOME, etc. There are some compatibility layers present but the project isn't centered around making MS apps work. It's about using the C# language in a Linux environment.

Sounds like Facebook made a mistake changing their expected IPO price from $28~$35 to $34~$38
The big banks stepped in to save face, which makes a mockery of all the talk about "intense demand from retail investors"
The big banks didn't step in to save face. They bought all this stock so they could dump it on unsuspecting nitwits who want to own shares of facebook. People see in the news that Facebook is worth 100 billion and they want in. The problem is after the initial offering the price is just going to go down, down, down, like all other dotcom IPOs. This is because all of these big banks are just buying in to sell off and make some money on clueless "investors".
You know what a real waste of time is...websites. Mailing lists will suffice for getting out information and news like Slashdot. Retail sites can just email you a catalog and if you want to buy something you just email them back. Obviously email solves all of our problems. While we are at it we should get rid of text messaging, twitter, and instant messaging. It can all be solved with email. Sure it isn't as elegant, usable, or sophisticated as other solutions for various problems but it gets the job done...right?
But once you get to the tipping point of putting more heat into the system than can be bled off, the temperature will continue to rise as long as the input is higher than that point
Considering how long the Earth has been orbiting the sun I think we reached that point a long time ago. Either that or you think the Earth is going to keep getting hotter until it reaches the temperature of the sun, which is ludicrously stupid.
I would call the police and let them handle it. I certainly wouldn't shoot and kill and unarmed teen on simple suspicion of burglary. There is no defense for what Zimmerman did. It's outrageous that people are even implying it. This has nothing to do with Zimmerman being a racist to me, even though it may still turn out that he is a racist (he may have uttered the word "coon" for example). This is about killing an unarmed person and NOT EVEN HAVING A TRIAL. That's the issue here. That was the issue to begin with and that is the real racism being displayed by this case. If a black guy shot and killed an unarmed person you can be sure there would be a trial and most likely he would go to jail for a long time.
Dash is the default in Ubuntu and Debian but that's about it. I don't know of any other major Linux distribution that defaults to it. Clang still has a long way to go. It still cannot compile some programs that GCC can and the binaries made from GCC tend to be faster even if the build process is not.
XP wasn't a substantial update of 2000. It couldn't have been. It came out shortly after Win2K. There is a reason Win2000 is NT 5 and WinXP is NT 5.1. Most of the changes were to the interface and the addition of some ease-of-use features. The underlying system is very similar.
Up until recently (Vista/Ribbon interface) and arguably even now, Microsoft has been able to provide more consistency than a lot of these Linux distros.
This has been a common meme for quite some time now but I find it completely illegitimate. Microsoft's interface has changed over time and they seem to have no interface guidelines, at least ones they stick to. On top of that almost all third party applications look and behave differently. Compare that with something like Gnome on Linux which has interface guidelines that are much more strictly enforced and many applications outside of Gnome core adhere to these guidelines and use the same toolkit. The more applications you install on a Microsoft operating system the less consistency you will have. Gnome provides many more applications than Microsoft and even more third party apps follow Gnome's HIG.
I don't really have too much time to mess around with my computer anymore but I'm using Gentoo and have very little issues. I don't think Ubuntu is the cure-all people seem to think it is. The Linux ecosystem has come a long way and is much easier to use in general than in the past. My installation is 4 years old and I'm not quite sure what the installation process is like now for Gentoo so I cannot comment on that but my point is that general usability is so much better for ALL distributions that even a source based distro is relatively easy to use and maintain. The most time consuming part of maintaining my system is reading the new options when I "make oldconfig" for a new kernel. Using a source distro is still not for everyone but it's amazing how simple it has become. I would be surprised to learn that any of the binary distributions would be difficult for someone to figure out.
I get your point but IE9 isn't required to get HTML5 on XP. There are other browsers out there that support HTML5 that also run on XP. There is even an HTML5 capable browser that runs on Win 9x and the large share that Firefox now garners is proof that people will swtich if there is a good reason to.
The only company that consistently does exactly what it says and and continues to blow people away with the quality of their products is Apple.
Are you serious? I don't count failing motherboards, antenna's that don't work, and insecure operating systems as "quality".
Now while at the same time Steve Jobs will get on stage and pull the future right out of his back pocket and "Oh, by the way, you can pick up one of these Monday morning."
You've got to be kidding me. The only thing Jobs does well is make a product that a trained monkey could use in a slim, easy on the eyes package. What exactly is revolutionary about any of the products Apple has produced?

Slashdot went downhill long ago. 10 years ago people were bitching about how bad it was then.

One complaint...IE9!!!!! You have to be kidding me. IE has been a steaming pile since version 6.

What crime did Zimmerman observe Trayvon committing?
I would call the police and let them handle it. I certainly wouldn't shoot and kill and unarmed teen on simple suspicion of burglary. There is no defense for what Zimmerman did.
