Because RedHat do a lot of the low level work in user space and Lennart has sold RedHat on systemd as an inhouse project. No conspiracy and also no proof of it being better than the alternatives, just easier to copy RedHat's stuff and move on.
It does mean a lot of server and workstation stuff is going to be stuck on RHEL6 for a few years until the systemd stuff has either settled down or been abandoned. If Lennart moves onto something else someone who just gets the job done instead of striving to be a "rockstar" may turn it into something reasonable (as finally happened with PulseAudio), but since Lennart appears to be going for full *nix domination with systemd via creeping featureism it's hard to see anything he would see as more interesting.
There is a lot more to it than that, such as a bit of loss of remaining life due to thermal fatigue every time you do a cold start.
In simple terms base load is designed for base load so if you use it for anything else you do not get good value. Solar thermal with molten salt would also be designed to be online as much as possible as distinct from peak power sources. You've been tricked by someone that wanted to simplify everything into "energy" like a bad episode of Star Trek. They are pretending that a power supply that is used to make up peaks is unreliable because the demand is not constant - a misdirecting trick to fool those who are not paying attention. Grids are very large now and there's always wind somewhere - continent size calms are like arguing for a flat earth. Similarly it's very rare for cloud to cover an entire continent for days at a time so solar is not "unstable".
You've just nailed my number one complaint about MS Exchange. It's a bad copy of a pile of other things from before 1996 with a name stuck onto the shambolic pile to pretend that it is one thing.
Why are you still going on about a topic you clearly know nothing about but still lower yourself to the level of calling those how comment on it liars?
Either way, it's apparent that talking to you is a waste of my time
Since you were trying to do both sides of a conversation - most definitely a waste of everyone's time. Why did you bother to do it? Is this some stupid little game?
The "counter argument" is that you put words in my mouth and argued against those. Disgusting. You are also not man enough to take responsibility for what you have written, so cowardly as well.
You don't turn your nuke off if you can help it while you can bring a windmill on or offline at a whim. That's all those numbers you are misrepresenting mean. If you already knew that you are manipulative lying scum but I suspect you are just a victim of such types.
The first one might be overcome. After all, if world leaders were able to simultaneously lay out this plan and get political support for it, part of the plan would include training more engineers, trades, and other jobs necessary. We might not be able to build 100 per year in 2016 (or even 2020), but we could ramp up.
But then we get 100 really crappy reactors built each "year" so long as you define year one as about eight years after work starts on the first. Alternatively - R&D to develop pilot reactors and then the procedure is developed to build reactors that may be far better and take less time to construct. That's how we got the current generation based on 1970s technology after all, and we can ramp up R&D to apply a lot of improvements in technology to the nuclear sector to make up for the almost complete lack of development in civilian nuclear for decades
Get it right (note I didn't say perfect) and then do it. The things run for decades so a few years to get it right are well worth it. In the long run the potential savings in construction time could mean being well ahead after committing a bit of time to R&D, especially if the answer is smaller reactors.
Why build hundreds of AP1000 dinosaurs when the technology is available to develop into a better working reactor?
The guy who read a novel that was not there between the lines is angry at being caught out? What's the word for someone who can make things up, dish them out, but gets angry when their own actions are pointed out?
All that was proved is that North (now a director of the NRA) sold weapons to Iran and Hezbolla not who ordered it. The Presidential Pardon that saved North from execution for treason and many other charges going right down to embezzlement implies that he was ordered to do so, but for all we know the real orders may have just been to find a buyer.
I'm trying to second guess you because you are so vague with your points
No, you are clearly just far out of your depth and pretending to know things that you do not. When I had the misfortune to look after some MS Exchange machines most of the end users thought it was as perfect as you seem to think it is but that's only because we threw a lot of hours, a lot of hardware and other resources at is so that when it failed at one server the mail still got through and the other bits worked as well as designed. It took staff several attempts each to get through a bare-metal recovery drill for the servers - something you've clearly never done or you would know what I've been writing about. We eventually managed to cut down on the number of servers by putting a single *nix machine in front of them to handle the spam filtering and mail archiving. It wasn't even for a big place but the amount of hardware needed to handle the MS Exchange load was astonishing - and don't blame me for "doing something wrong", we got someone in from MS to go over everything.
Based on the above I think the problem exists between chair and keyboard
Funny how you are accusing me of incompetence for an action that I refuse to do! Well written software does not require encasing the entire OS in a box to make it portable.
It's easy to be number one when you define a catagory that has nothing else in it by pretending a suite of software is a single thing. Elsewhere software integration gets the desired jobs done, but since the goalpost has been moved to a "single" thing they do not count - even the google stuff is dismissed as several applications despite it being far better integrated with other components than the creaking pile of applications, some no longer maintained but kept for "legacy" reasons, that make up MS Exchange. If you had actually used MS Exchange and read the release notes for updates you would be aware of that.
You really are clueless. Three of them at least - one starts with S, another with P another with E. One of them used to run hotmail back when it was bigger than any MS Exchange farm, and MS Exchange had to be modified to scale up to that level after MS bought it and migrated. If you can't name those major MTAs in corporate use you know shit about mail and I doubt you've even done anything with MS Exchange. I doubt you've even left school since the womble thing went way over your head - are you some sort of "social media worker" astroturfer that is here working part time to talk up MS?
Your "point" is not very valid because you are letting flag waving patriotism get in the way of seeing what is there just because a comparison was made with another country. Yes, things are very bad in other places but don't let that distract you into thinking everything is perfect at home. For example, take a look at the political advisors that look like they should still be in high school for cases of where Daddy has bought them an influential government job.
"Grown up" language would be a request to stop acting like an utterly clueless prick for reading an entire book that isn't there between the lines but I thought I would be a little bit more polite. Are you a bit slow on the uptake today and require such "grown up" language before a point can get across? WTF did your baggage come from and why are you pretending it came from me?
Because it's the only thing that is that mongrel breed. The suite has a pile of stuff, much pretty well abandonware, thrown in with a crap MTA, a calender from the 1990s and a very fragile mail storage system that is an utter bitch to recover from backups - clearly a drill you've never done so you are certainly not fit to look after a machine running it. So a *nix MTA doesn't have a Batt Wombleator or whatever weird checkbox feature MS Exchange has that few use, but who cares, it's still effective in use in the largest companies on the planet.
VMTools? You really have no clue! Clearly I'm referring to parts of the MS Exchange suite as unstable and the frequent practice of rebooting VM instances when it gets out of hand, instead of a better designed system where problems are dealt with on a process level. If you knew as much as you pretended you'd be aware of that reason for MS Exchange to be run in a VM instead of the server only needing one OS as with all other MTA, groupware, calendar etc systems. Need to run two on the same box - then jails, zones, containers etc do the job for anything apart from MS Exchange. Need to migrate - then have the config files and data on other box as well instead of wrapping a steaming obficated heap in a VM just so you can move it. The thing is shit and needs a pile of third party things in addition to the suite.
but you're a little naive (or stubbornly ideological) to think that a difference in the scale of corruption isn't a difference in the situation
You can get all that from two lines? Please don't project like that - acting like there are only two people on the internet and loading others up with baggage is very insulting.
That was indeed "kindergarten level shit" on your part. Kid, could you please put Daddy back on and he can discuss MS Exchange with me, then we can discuss what an utter pile of shit the 1997 version was compared with today and what still hasn't been fixed today which worked in other software before 1997.
Been there, now I employ them and actually listen to them unlike you, and what's with the political shit creeping in - are you really so immature or did I get you on a bad day?

No, because it is interacting with us and producing gravitational effects etc - we just can't see it.

Not just Iran, also a terrorist group that had killed over a hundred US Marines less than a year before the sale of weapons to them.
