Don't be a jerk just because you can. Try backing up and looking at a situation from all sides before you go mouthing off and maybe you'll come up with a rational response instead.
That's the most ignorant thing I've read all day -- the vast majority of people using Linux are not kernel developers, and I'm quite certain they don't navel-gaze enough to think they are.
I'm quite literally nervous about moving client servers to systemd in the future and we've purposely held back because the old init system is predictable and easy to manage.
Boot up speed is incredible with/service (see http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) and dependencies aren't hard to wire into those scripts at all. What kills me is that systemd is so much more complex for no gain over something so simple as an auto-restarting shell script.
I started using DJB's/service system back with qmail and quite liked it, then thought systemd might be something even better. Sadly, its not.
I find it quite frustrating that auto-restarting scripts that just run in their own directories can still be that much easier to configure than the default boot system.
Doesn't matter if they're currency; if they're barter they're still subject to seizure and forfeiture. If you gave your dealer a watch for your drugs, the watch is now going to be seized when he gets busted.
We design all our own router equipment from small server class machines with multiple PCIe gigabit NICs running Linux. I'm frequently tempted to make the jump to OpenBSD but what we have makes us happy at the moment.
Are we always more secure than a hardware router with closed software? Maybe, maybe not. But I know what to do if we need to fix a security vulnerability on a Linux machine, and I can.
To quote, from the PS4 section: "When you tap the button your game is paused and the Share screen opens. Here you'll have 3 options: "Upload video clip," "Upload screenshot," and "Broadcast gameplay." The latter starts Twitch streaming, which the Xbox One doesn't yet support, so I won't cover it today."
So there's a feature on the PS4 to allow a form of sharing the XBOne doesn't have yet, so its not included in the line-up? How's that a fair comparison? People who want to share to Twitch should surely know that the PS4 already lets them do that *right now* and that should be included in the comparison, should it not?
I'd love to see the IT credentials of everyone taking this position. Its not hard to get a lot of data out of a system without an audit log picking it up if you know what you're doing. Its not hard because configuring a system to truly require that level of auditing is very hard and very costly and rarely worthwhile, especially if you believe the legal ramifications are sufficient.
How is he not a patriot? Would a German citizen who leaked info about the concentration camps to the citizens of that country not have been a patriot during WWII just because he thought what his country was doing to be wrong?
Spying on other countries is considered illegal by all countries. Its always disavowed after the fact. We all know it happens, but nobody thinks its okay when its done to them.
You argued a point that inferred that you misunderstood me. Don't bother with your reading comprehension argument; its silly sophistry to get out of making an asinine remark I suspect. Please feel free to debate my 'most' remark but you haven't yet. You've instead debated everything but (likely but not necessarily because you like the language I said I found boring to learn). If you want to debate the 'most' remark you brought up, post something with numbers in it -- that's how 'most' is defined. If you wish to define special-purpose programming languages as generally as Wikipedia's entry on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language then I'll just let you win, because including HTML and CSS as programming languages is beyond laughable to me.
I should have perhaps said that "the vast majority of commonly used programming languages are general purpose" since including esoteric randomness into an argument is often both irrelevant and circumspect but I didn't so there you have it.
My usage of LISP is very limited, and I'm the one who pointed that out in my own original remarks. Your comment about me not using it recently because I'm old enough to know it was originally always spelt in capitals makes me think you seriously lack the logical capacity for sophisticated conversation.
Also, 'like water off a duck's back' is most commonly used as a positive expression to show that a person doesn't get easily bothered by things. You used it correctly, but you seem to be trying to use it in the negative.
Unless whatever reply you come up with actually contains cogent arguments, I will not be replying again.
I never said LISP was not general purpose; skimming much?
I only said that once one has learned a certain number of general purpose languages, adding another isn't very exciting. Another in this case would be LISP.
Couldn't a pre-existing planet be captured by a new star? I can imagine a situation where a star going dark sends its planets drifting through deep space only to be captured again later.
Nobody has to change their behaviour because a cop told them to. The police don't happen to be right all the time. Sure, sometimes it will result in an arrest or court time, but its the judge's job to determine if you *actually* did anything wrong, not the cop's.

Diagnosing such issues is a pain though; and one of the reasons I dislike dbus :/
This, precisely. I haven't seen a good rationale for it either -- nor have I seen one to justify the huge mess that is systemd.

Five insightfuls, an overrated and two trolls ... possibly my most controversial opinion ever so far, gotta love gaming discussions.

If your goal were to live in a free and righteous USA, you'd have to believe that Snowden is not in fact working against it.

Sources and methods on how they treat their *allies* in times of *peace* are certainly not worth protecting. That behaviour is a blight on America.
If the US has such good protections for journalists, why are they introducing double-blind systems for anonymous data submission?
I suspect its because they don't feel like their sources are protected at all.

Quoting irrelevancies doesn't make you right.
In a huge universe, anything's possible ...
Its the least we can do for the billions the US spends on their Navy and Air force that patrols our Arctic.
True, and when you have a technologically advanced country with limited resources and population, being good at being covert is a serious asset.
Consider for a moment the historical reality of Canada's leadership in the Iran hostage crisis in 79/80.

Troll much? Most programming languages are general purpose and once you know a half dozen, adding another is rarely that useful.
