    Abomination is right. All the new kids and their systemd, reinventing that which was not broken (and was still portable!)

    Try doing an non-kickstart installation to see the abomination in all of its glory. Whoever does the UI at redhat should be shot out of a cannon, sufficiently that they land somewhere around the Canonical offices. I've never seen a more disjointed, confusing clusterfuck in my life, and I've used Solaris 7, Windows 8, and Suse 9

    I don't know, I tend to support whatever leads us to a more efficient use of our hydrocarbon resources as a society. I look at this as the greatest economic opportunity of our times, as it's pretty clear to me, the remaining hydrocarbons yet to be extracted would be far more beneficial to society as a strategic fuel source, and source of polymers, rather than literally burning it 'up in smoke' out of our tailpipes.

    Trend? I thought this was SOP for sales, because SMEs kill sales. This has been known by Salesmen and SMEs since time immemorial.

    This is absolute bullshittery. Morality is rational, it is irrational. It is codified, it is not codified. Wow, you are the weakest minded person I've met on the Internet all day- perhaps all week. Grow a pair and post as yourself too AC, if you want to talk about what morality actually is.

    morality
    mralt,mô-/Submit

    principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.

    No. Morality is about making choices for yourself and not impacting others without choice negatively. It has nothing to do with me, or what I see as clear- but apparently you need someone to follow?

    For the record I am VERY consistent in my application of morals here.

    1) no one is hurt
    2) someone is hurt
    3) someone may be hurt, but that person is dead. family may be hurt, but if they are not, what is the big deal?

    No you missed completely what guides my moral compass........

    My moral compass is guided by accountability and impact to others outside of free will. Religious morals approach it from the ass end. They deny you free will (without irony) to serve unaccountable morals.

  19. Re:Faith in God on Site of 1976 "Atomic Man" Accident To Be Cleaned · · Score: 2

    I think your definition of "morals" is skewed towards, my 'religious morals' versus any sort of accountable moral code which prevents people from impeding on others.

    For instance, is it immoral for two men you don't know have sex? Is it also immoral for those one of those men to kill the other? Is it immoral for one of those men to marry his brother afterwards?

    One of these things is morally ambiguous, one is immoral, and the other completely fucking irrelevant. But an unaccountable religious moral code would ban all three.

    Actually transistors were discovered then refined after experimenting with older technology.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

    >From November 17, 1947 to December 23, 1947, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at AT&T's Bell Labs in the United States, performed experiments and observed that when two gold point contacts were applied to a crystal of germanium, a signal was produced with the output power greater than the input.[8] Solid State Physics Group leader William Shockley saw the potential in this, and over the next few months worked to greatly expand the knowledge of semiconductors. The term transistor was coined by John R. Pierce as a portmanteau of the term "transfer resistor".[9][10]

    So we should just charge to borrow books from the library?

    The issue here is corporations use publicly built infrastructure (library) to sell us (books) and then they stock it full of Random House rather than Penguin books because they own Random House and Penguin books, while more popular, eat Random Houses' profit margins. The library forces the issue by stocking mostly Random House books, and as such you may get only Random House opinions as opposed to Penguin books. Penguin books becomes less popular because it is not as available, Random House wins and owns your Library.

    So yeah, the Internet is a Miracle and selling it to the highest bidder is "fucking it up".
