A few years ago I talked to a guy from RSA who was making sure that a pacemaker with wireless controls was secured. He had to brush up on Z80 code to do it. Today there is no excuse since the hardware is far more capable.
With respect, it's so fucking obvious that anyone who has been in I.T. who has not noticed it is not paying much attention to the world around them. In one introductory IPv6 thing I went to there were over fifty guys and the only woman in the room was from a vendor and not a participant. That's how fucking obvious it is.
It's a very obvious trend. When I studied engineering as an undergraduate in the 1980s one of the highlights of the computer science subjects (apart from very easy credits) was that we got to meet girls. Even with quite a few of the 90+% male demographic of engineering students sneaking in the CS subjects most of them still had very close to 50% females enrolled. They were most definitely interested in I.T. These days I see more women working in mines, chemical plants, power stations, oil refineries and foundries than in I.T. Even underground mines less than a decade after women were allowed to work there at all. An incredibly obvious trend. Reader, if you can't see it I really have more questions about you and why you are saying it has not happened than anything else because it is so obvious. I probably have to be as blunt as to suggest to people here that they should be considering this issue in terms of reality instead of pushing some political barrow based on nonsense.
I do not have to guess I know. The application suite has a pile of init scripts which I would have to rewrite because they are not compatible with systemD. Just dragging old libraries into a new distro is not enough.
My point was to show that it's not just whining users and sysadmins that are reluctant to use things with systemD.
make an extreme statement and follow it up by a moderate position
He just goes over the top and then needs to take things back. It just shows that he is treating us all like idiots, and that his word is utterly worthless.
People always being up Hitler. Even Saddam, who compared HIMSELF to Stalin, almost as bad a monster, kept getting compared to Hitler. Just because idiots are comparing Trump to Hitler doesn't mean that Trump doesn't have the sort of ideas that George Washington fought against. He's a fucking aristocrat and wants rule by fucking aristocrats. There is more than one type of enemy to a Republic.
He's not worth voting for precisely because he is not likely to burn anything down
With a weak government/president things are going to burn down even if he doesn't light the match himself. Trump is not going to react in a way that will be of benefit to the USA.
So how is he going to get things done and "Make America Great Again" when attempting to steer a hostile GOP from the outside to overcome the numbers of angry Democrats who will never vote the way he wants them to? There was this guy called George Washington who made sure that the United States of America was not run by an all powerful King. Brush up on that history and a bit more after it and you'll work out how a Trump Presidency would be a stagnant situation with nothing much happening for years. The only great you get out of that is a great depression. Russia would love it, China has already moved in where the USA used to have influence, but they might move faster in getting Taiwan and a few other things they haven't dared do overtly in the face of a strong America.
America is equal opportunity
A land where any loudmouthed trustfund baby can become President:) Watch Trump for long enough and you'll work it out, he wants a fucking aristocracy and serfs so if you are in the white middle class he wants you in your place down with the working poor. He wants us to have less rights so we can't get in the way of his cronies.
He had a very good personal friend running Fox. That and his persistent trolling got him attention, as he worked out during the birther attention seeking thing.
It also means tories, royalists and aristocrats (in addition to Bill Clinton who is on the right on a global scale). I know you are joking but he is definitely all for an aristocracy with the very rich as the new lords, which makes him very much right wing.
overtly corrupt political structure now at the helm of this country
The extremely weird thing is that casino boss and real estate swindler is overtly far more corrupt than even that yet he is listened to. Vote for the casino boss that cares for the little people (yeah, right), is the line he pushes and he really rubs in that all of us are little compared with him. It's the fucking aristocracy that George Washington threw out all over again.
we wouldn't have seen all of the major distros adopt systemd in lockstep
The distros have been in lockstep for a long time on a lot of issues due to RedHat doing a lot of the work. That gnome now depends on systemd on linux is another very major factor. Neither of those matters have anything to do with the quality of systemd. Like the sound situation of a few years ago there is only one option being worked on so we are told to like it or lump it.
It's another straw on a very overloaded camel's back - so this "small bug" just gets added to the list. I've still got pretty well everything on linux still on RHEL6/CentOS6 because the vendors of an application used in the place don't trust systemd yet. The few workstations I have on something newer are as unstable as MS Windows machines used to be - one wouldn't even boot when systemd hung on a wireless mouse dongle - so much for parallel init! It should have failed then moved on instead of blocking every single time it hits that USB device, and the rumoured parallel init should have enabled it to be doing other stuff instead of completely blocking. That's just one, every few weeks there's some different fuckup of the sort we used to laugh at MS Windows.
Yes. Since office politics at RedHat decided this was the way to go and because they are putting in a lot of resources then that's the way it's going. Also the way Lennart lobbied the gnome people to made things depend on systemd was very political. If you want the current gnome you need systemd or an extremely complicated workaround to make it multi-platform again.
How? If it's something designed by an egomanic who just wants to get shit done without listening to the annoying voices of people pointing out problems. If the egomanic grew up on MS Windows and is trying to rebuild a *nix system in that image it makes it even more likely.
Lennart back off and get things right before adding more in your efforts to take over fucking everything in linux - you've got plenty of time so what's the rush?
If Trump was getting campaign financing from Russia it would be ILLEGAL
Borrowing money from Russian banks is not illegal. It may look bad politically since most of them have close ties to Putin, but there is nothing illegal or even immoral about it.
It only gets illegal if those debts are "forgiven" in exchange for something and the loans get turned into bribes that way, but that has not happened (and may never happen). It's just a very funny thing since it's an action that's pretty well the opposite of the line that Trump has been pushing.
As for evidence, it's been widely reported but it's not illegal. Here's one (from a google search) that cites the Washington Post but it's turned up everywhere - check whatever news source you use: http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/yes-the-russians-have-been-funding-donald-trumps-presidential-campaign/25479/
No I was very certainly correct - that really is my opinion. You do NOT get to tell me what I am thinking about even if that petty bullying tactic gets you some "wins" in childish mass debating games.

RedHat wanted someone cheap instead of someone with a few years of *nix on the clock.

The big story this week seems to be Trump bribing Fidel Castro. The big stories of the past involved Atlantic City and Vegas mobsters.
He just goes over the top and then needs to take things back. It just shows that he is treating us all like idiots, and that his word is utterly worthless.
Do you have a "slave mentality" if you put money in the collection plate in Church too?
Do you really want someone who is that much of a control freak running the country?

Look up "Brexit" - see how that attitude you describe went in that vote.

Stated as fact? Put down tha banjo son an go help yaw sister/wife wit da moonshine.

Bullshit. I know you like to pick on the kiddies but sometimes that shit just does not work.

Only if the future is 2004!
It was done before Lennart heard of anything other than MS Windows.
It's another straw on a very overloaded camel's back - so this "small bug" just gets added to the list.

Because it's not an init system anymore, it's Lennart trying to put his name on everything between the application the user runs and the kernel.
