A thing that makes that slightly less alarming is all that titanium oxide based beach and dune sand we make the sunscreen out of - some of that has a pretty small grain size.
Yes, we're just greasy Moorlocks who only know how to run machines and not the pretty Eloi in the garden listening to marketing folk who are pushing a product that is not ready yet.
That's because it wasn't written by the guy responsible of inflicting pulseaudio and NetworkManager on people before they were ready for use. Systemd is his new thing, and it still needs a lot of polish before it can be compared with launchd.
Sticking to old and reliable has it merts too but not when it gets in the way of trying something new.
That's the thing, systemd DOES GET IN THE WAY OF TRYING SOMETHING NEW since it's no longer easy to have your own init scripts for new things, especially since systemd is a fast moving target so your new init scripts may not work for long (eg. the linux zfs project init scripts for systemd).
On Fedora systemd updates managed to break zfs startup so now I just login as root via the command line and mount the drives instead of second guessing which change will break it next time.
Also commercial software development is slow so RHEL 7 and systemd is not even on the radar of a lot of people that run RHEL or CentOS. As an example, I'm upgrading a machine to CentOS 6 this weekend because a version of some software that doesn't need RHEL5/CentOS5 has finally become available.
90% of systemd's suite of utilities are not part of init
That's kind of the point. It's a fucking octopus that doesn't even offer enough of an improvement over other forms of init to justify such widespread adoption. It's not ultra-fast like the one that had a proof of concept on the eeepc, so instead it's more like change for the sake of change. Binary log files at startup when you have little available if it hangs and other idiocies that are a step backwards.
Red Hat wants total control over Linux and systemd is their attempt to establish that
I'm not so sure whether that is Red Hat itself or Lennart exerting his influence within Red Hat. He's certainly made no secret that he wants to rebuild linux userspace to a new design.
as part of the militia (which you are, by definition)?
This again? Being eligable for something is not the same as being part of something, as you well know despite pretending not to and playing the stupid card. Yes there's people in politics that pretend to be stupid enough to fall for it so they get your vote - but while you are laughing at them for pulling the wool over their eyes they are laughing right back at you and watching the donations come in.
In the city where I live they've got to be prepared to run fast to get away from drunken idiots that will attempt to beat them up. It's weird, older people don't appear to care one way or another but guys that were not even alive when being gay was illegal decide that it's their job to beat up the gays.
Entirely irrelevant because anyone who puts together a large counter-revolutionary force to overthrow the United States and put a King back in charge or whatever they want to do is going to end up in GITMO before they have got very far. There's BEEN a revolution. We won.
These conditions were wholly made-up by the government
That's how society runs. Citizens are supposed to take part in it but so few even bother to vote even if they don't like the conditions, thus special interest groups push conditions that are not so good for society. The NRA is just a sporting club that does very badly with safety standards in it's sport FFS - yet they have so much political power because others don't bother to participate.
Those same conservatives say the 2nd amendment is perfect, simply because its old, and that it applies to any weapon invented since and any weapon we might invent in the future.
But they also say that "militia" means anyone of an age that can sign up for military service and that "well regulated" can be ignored because the language has changed (yes - they seriously do argue that shit). So don't expect anything logical or indeed conservative - instead it's self serving radical bullshit that they think can fool people into letting them play with guns as a penis substitute instead of a tool. They think the trick is working because people in politics are swallowing it so they will get money and votes, but they forget that many in politics will pretend to believe anything if they can get an advantage out of it. This cynical second amendment shit is not fooling anyone - it's the foundations of the national guard and not the right for someone to have military weapons when they are too much of a coward to sign up to fight for the country.
It was illegal to do that in India a few year before it was illegal for you guys to keep slaves - you should have thought about that before you played the "backwards savages" card. The current situation is based on current problems that can exist in places other than India (or toga parties in the USA).
He's done a lot but to be frank pulseaudio, avahi, NetworkManager and systemd have all caused me problems so I have tried to avoid them wherever possible, and at the risk of sounding like an old fart Mr Poettering comes across as a kid who grew up with MS Windows and just doesn't get that it's not the only way of doing things. He's building a new ecosystem. That's not a bad thing, but RedHat using it's influence to make that ecosystem dominate for reasons other than it's merits is the bad thing. I'd personally like the things I use to survive in the old ecosystem instead of having to move to a new one - cross platform instead of no choice other than a big monolith with Mr Poettering's name on it.
1/ The EPA sets and enforces rules. 2/ Examining the science behind that is the task of other orgs. 3/ Requiring the EPA to examine the science would either require cutting back on other actions or expanding the size of the EPA.
Thus since it's adding more functions without more funding it looks like a deliberate effort to make the EPA less effective in what it currently does.
That's how I see it. Can you see anything wrong with what I've written?

Don't worry. What's left behind is pretty damn close to being inert. The nasty reactive stuff evaporates so that you can more easily breath it in.
Yes, we're just greasy Moorlocks who only know how to run machines and not the pretty Eloi in the garden listening to marketing folk who are pushing a product that is not ready yet.
They may just be fanboys who think new is always good as we see with the Wayland vs X comments from people who have seen either only one or none.
Incorrect. The lead developer and initiator of systemd has been at RedHat since before the project started.
Because it's the same problem as with pulse - rushed into production too early.
That's because it wasn't written by the guy responsible of inflicting pulseaudio and NetworkManager on people before they were ready for use. Systemd is his new thing, and it still needs a lot of polish before it can be compared with launchd.

Just like then "PATRIOT" act. Once you start a race to the bottom things go downhill.
Why? Do you need remedial classes and want someone who graduated in 1991 to stay behind to teach you?
There's nothing more military grade than a WWI Zepellin which was the first major use of that family of alloys :)

Just like the decline and fall of Rome isn't it? Better get that fixed.
From the photos there is a lot of plane left - crash landing instead of crash.
