I think no one can disagree that you are inexperienced.
What an utterly pathetic shotgun attempt at bullying in the hope you hit someone younger. I suspect that if you had studied harder you could have had what was required to enrol so that I could teach you a few things about engineering a couple of years before slashdot started - that's how ridiculously far off the mark you are.
Nobody has forgotten, it's just not mentioned to avoid heated arguments that are a sidetrack to discussions about Malaysia. The "wild west" stuff with the settlers running the locals off their reservation even bounces it back into comparisons to the USA some time back.
All so RH can sell a few more support contracts to the corporate world
The corporate world is still on RHEL5 where X is as fast as it should be or on RHEL6 where at least the applications still work even if they are not as quick remotely. The newer stuff with systemd isn't yet on the radar for vendors that have corporate software that wants to do stuff with "init" even if it is just to check if the software is licenced.
The only linux server I saw that had been rooted was one where the lazy software developer that ended up looking after it decided to give every email user a full shell, let users have three letter passwords, let it be accessed by ssh from anywhere, put a compiler on it and fucked up the permissions of config files ("chmod a+rwx/etc/*") so that he didn't have to switch to root or sudo to edit them. Luckily about the first thing the script kiddies did with it was portscanned another machine that was under adult supervision, so it was found before becoming a spambot.
So that's what on earth people can do to get their machines rooted - be idiots five times over.
On the MS side there was the patch that made MS Exchange an open mail relay by default, so you only had to be an idiot once over in that case, and unfortunately the contractor was that.
With systemd I'm starting to think that being an idiot once over will be enough as well.
In a couple weeks there won't even be a way to get it running on Chrome, if you want to.
Yes I keep getting "the internet is broken and this PDF file is broken" from a couple of people that will not use anything other than Chrome. If it wasn't for all that malware out there taking advantage of shit Adobe and other code having a fallback "dangerous mode" would make sense.
systemd is not an init system. It's a service manager. Mischaracterization makes your opinions seem ignorant
No just someone who like myself has been paying attention to it for a while - it was initially "sold" as an init system and as the years passed creeping featurism turned it into a service manager. Hence the design having incremental changes that seemed like a good idea at the time but if considered at length would have been considered very bad ideas and not implemented (eg. binary logs subject to race conditions for an utterly spectacular bit of idiocy that would have been recognised as such by a programmer in the 1960s).
Except for the software that makes Linux audio actually fucking work.
Other people did ALSA. PulseAudio broke on my home machine when I plugged in a new monitor and now it will only recognise that and not my onboard sound, making my speakers pointless. It will no longer work at all for me with anything run under WINE. With another system config files could be changed to undo the damage, but with PulseAudio that is not an option.
Keep in mind that Red Hat also pushed network manager (the thing that completely breaks network setups) as well and I don't think LP had a hand in that
NetworkManager was Lennart's project from the beginning, but it may have been handed off to someone else now.
From his blog he thinks he could have done a far better job on the kernel than Linus, so that gives the impression that he thinks he is well beyond Linus. Maybe it will drive him to actually live up to his impression of himself after a few years so we should just put it down as annoying instead of a problem since it's still possible to use *nix without using his project.
He's got a bit of a track record of half-finished shit rushed to release that is a pain in the arse to deal with for at least a couple of years after it was supposed to be done. For some reason his stuff finally works a couple of years after he's moved on from it to the next big thing - I'm not sure if he's moved into bugfix instead of rapid change mode on his old projects or if somebody else is cleaning up his mess. Even after years of fixes NetworkManager and PulseAudio do not come up to the standard of the software that they replaced and 99% of the time when they fuck up there are not even any log messages to help you with it. So there you go, some insight into why there are so many negative posts. It's not just "perhaps he's just smarter than you, and it's you who don't get it" - even if he is smarter that's not related to why he has annoyed a few people here.
Anybody still believe that systemd is not about red hat taking over linux?
No it's about Lennart taking it over, as he proudly writes on his blog, and RedHat may be giving him the resources to do it but it's more interested in keeping customers than such an aim IMHO. If RHEL7 has a slow takeup with a lot of customers staying on RHEL6 for compatibility reasons (as I am), I can see it being treated like the new gnome and not be the default
Lennart has his heart in the right place but seems to have risen too far too fast and could do with a bit of supervision to rein in his project of completely taking over linux without really understanding it.
Many of the "inefficiencies" have already been solved with more recent codecs.
Dropbox appear to be in the business of storing the existing files of clients and not forcing them to upgrade their hardware or software to support a new standard. That's where a bit of reversable compression on top instead of a complete re-encode makes sense.
On a personal scale maybe it makes sense for a user to completely re-encode all of their video files to a new standard but I don't think many people will be doing that. On an "industrial" scale with many users it makes even less sense so the reversable hack that saves space seems a better fit than a full unasked for re-encode of clients video files.
Anyone who pays attention to human nature would eventually have such experience to such dishonesty.
Usually only as the observer and not as an experienced perpetrator such as yourself, so I take my hat off you to and the extensive work you have done along those lines over the years on this site. Are you in politics, "public relations", "social media worker", advertising or just an unpaid person fond of manipulation? Either way this current "spin" of pretending rather blatant student politics style bullshit is not happening shows a distinct lack of integrity and only makes my wonder at the motives of an apologist for such bullshit. It's not just about being anti-science this time, so what is it about?
Ta - worth bookmarking. It reminds me of the Synroc nuclear waste encapsulation project - completed apart from quality testing in 1988, fully complete after funds were finally found a couple of years ago proving that the technique developed before 1988 was effective enough to be used, and now it's finally in use. Using that or similar would have meant no spent fuel rods from many years before in drying pools adding to the complete fuckup at Fukishima.

The Saudis are also infamous for treating their workers from other places very badly.

The last time someone made a joke like that he told a reporter that he's been getting death threats.
Because someone other than Lennart is maintaining the other PAM system.
The man page for "su" could have been read in less time than it took you to write your post and it would have cleaned up the confusion.
Even the MS operating systems have bits that are *BSD derived, such as the TCP/IP stack, but that doesn't make them *BSD.

It's a pity that Lennart has been on linux for a bit over a decade and hasn't been told the above yet :(
No it's about Lennart taking it over, as he proudly writes on his blog, and RedHat may be giving him the resources to do it but it's more interested in keeping customers than such an aim IMHO. If RHEL7 has a slow takeup with a lot of customers staying on RHEL6 for compatibility reasons (as I am), I can see it being treated like the new gnome and not be the default
Maybe that's just Lennart considering how he does things like inflate insults to suggest that they are actually death threats.

It's quoted. What do you think the testimony of a witness is?
I suggest you try Indonesians if you want a lot of Java experience.

Oh really?
So witness testimony is worthless in your opinion?
Please justify why you think such an opinion is worth consideration.
