Not you, I'm quoting "Pieroxy" which is who "spire3661" was referring to. If you are going to insult me then at least please try to keep up with the conversation.
That attitude of a single platform has been present on and off with gnome since the start and was the reason why Enlightenment was the official window manager for gnome for only a couple of weeks. The merge killed cross platform support in Enlightenment and the attitude that it didn't matter drove off all of the Enlightenment developers. However all the gnome people from back then are probably long gone from the project - it became cross-platform after all, the very thing that they said was not important and they made fun of the Enlightenment developers who insisted it was.
gnome-session will be augmented by a per-user systemd instace,
leveraging the benefits that systemd gives you for system startup also for session startup.
That text from your other link indicates a desire to go back to the bad old days of linux only gnome.
And anyone who jeopardizes that gets thrown out an airlock.
Who needs rule of law when you can have might makes right Chinese style? You are just reinforcing a stereotype and we should probably both stop here before I pour on insults you probably don't deserve just because you've oversimplified things. I accept that the term means a lot of different things to different people - from those that wanted to crown Koch as a benevolent King a few years back to outright anarchists with a lot of less extreme stuff in the middle. In most forms I believe it's very much about the individual at the expense of society and diametrically opposed to teamwork, nation building, and the foundation of the USA and other democratic nations, but that's just my opinion and don't let that put you off. It's up to you to learn the implications of your ideology and whether it is practical or not. When a sick kid also goes out the airlock despite there being enough resources to go around if pooled then that ideology looks a bit less shiny doesn't it? OK, so I didn't stop. Let's just leave it where I don't respect selfishness relabelled as ideology and you probably don't see it in those terms as yet.
It was about climate science denial so some people would see that as a troll, but I agree that it's an abuse of mod points to vote for or against climate science by modding a post about climate science denial that is not offensive in any way.
And in just the last couple of days, EPA director Gina McCarthy, in testimony before Congress, demonstrated complete ignorance
It's the age of the MBA who is expected to be able to run an org without having the least fucking clue of what it does. You get your ticket via family connections plus money and suddenly you are born to the purple. If it was an interview with a leading advisor of the person in the sinecure that would be a different story, but here it's just another page added to the large pile of "political appointee to important job is an idiot out of their depth" stories.
Back to your earlier post, I can't see the EPA being able to function properly at it's current size with this clog being deliberately cast into the machinery of it's operation. Clearly attempted "sabotage" to expand their function to explain things they previously did not have to do and get tied up in court over it.
I should have written "I'll bet my left testicle systemd dependency fed someone's ego" instead of sounding like I had absolute proof. It's a guess from being on the gconf mailing list for years, seeing the behaviour there and extrapolating. We can't blame Miguel for that project or the systemd connections, there are others that are far more petty.
Verhoeven completely misunderstood the book, was the thing, and made a parody of it
IMHO he got some ideas from the book that didn't really fit with it and made his "own vision" aimed at current events which was different to the book. See also the Star Trek reboot that deliberately shat all over all Trek stuff prior to it as part of the "director's vision". Directors want it to be remembered as something like "Verhoeven's Starship Troopers" instead of "Heinlen's Starship Troopers". I think it's a good movie just like "Blade Runner", while having not a lot to do with the Phillip K. Dick story is a good movie. Both could probably be vastly better if they came closer to the books but they are still good movies.
exploring an ultra-libertarian society in the same detail
How can something about a space colony where mere survival requires a vast amount of teamwork be libertarian? You can't just "shrug" like in Rand and expect everyone to work around the misfit and do their job for them.
charms... I hope they keep going in that direction.
What sort of idiot put controls off screen which can only be accessed by mousing over an invisible button? Their UI is fucked IMHO. Navigating by fucking Easter Egg.
There was Nokia stuff better than the iPhones right up to the time they Eloped with Microsoft. It's easy to forget that and instead mentally compare current incrementally evolved iPhones with ten year old Nokias. Then there was the Japanese stuff that seemed to be about five years ahead of both when the first iPhone came out.
Office 365 and services across all devices are going to save Windows Phone
Personally I doubt it. The Nokia N900, among others has very good MS office compatibility, as did many of the MS WP* phones, as do some android phones with the right app but very few people seem to have used them for that purpose over the last five or so years. It's probably the form factor and the awkwardness of dealing with stuff intended for large screens on a small one. To me it makes sense on tablets, phones not so much.
As for your sig, gnome has always been more about grubby club level politics than functionality. Systemd dependency fed someone's ego.
Conrad's "The Secret Agent" from 1907, and set in 1886, fits depressingly well into current circumstances.
From wikipedia:
In modern times, The Secret Agent is considered to be one of Conrad's finest novels. The Independent calls it "[o]ne of Conrad's great city novels"[22] whilst The New York Times insists that it is "the most brilliant novelistic study of terrorism".[23] It is considered to be a "prescient" view of the 20th century, foretelling the rise of terrorism, anarchism, and the augmentation of secret societies, such as MI5. The novel is on reading lists for both secondary school pupils and university undergraduates.
I don't agree with the "foretelling" bit on wikipedia, since Tzarist Russia had all of the above in spades in 1907 and Conrad IMHO wasn't trying to foretell anything. It's just the current situation is closer to Tzarist Russia than we would like. Every time I've read some Tom Clancy I've wished he's read that earlier spy novel and taken it as a cue to either lift his game or give up.
And the Japanese (submarine project for subs that are useless to us due to short range), and the Koreans, but most especially pleasing the Chinese. Things are currently weird. At the G20 Putin was given a Koala and smiles while Obama was called a lair in at least two press releases for mentioning something about the barrier reef. The PM, Tony Abbott, may have a forked tongue but he needs it to lick all those arses at once.
So why have this bill at all if it apparently changes nothing? Implications and motives are important since laws such as this are expensive to produce - why so much effort been expended? It appears to have been done to either hamper the operations of the EPA or result in increased headcount, so the question is whether it's for the benefit of those who wish to flout EPA regulations (benefiting from an EPA weakened by pointless busywork) or those in the EPA who are jealous of Homeland Security and want an enormous bureaucratic empire just like it.
When "conservatives" push hard to change the status quo it's best to consider why to see if they are actually radicals in disguise (or they are on the take and owned by people who desire radical change).
this is a wonderful time for the Republicans to create all kinds of crazy ridiculous stuff
I wonder if it will distract people from their efforts to shut down the government financially during a time of war not far back? If the Democrats tried that we'd be hearing screams of "Treason" for the next three decades.
I've only ever seen it as an insult applied so it's completely relevant to the GP. Maybe for a week people applied the label to themselves, but most of the internet missed that week and just see the insult delivered by frustrated virgins who think the world owes them an easy lay.
Fair enough, but they seem to forget that they can be easily traced and post things that most of us would never seriously contemplate even under a false name. Slashdot have my email address but even without that someone could who wanted to waste enough time could trawl through a decade of my posts and work out what country, city and industry I work in and maybe get my real identity with around three phone calls. If I was an evil troll I'd still be pretty dumb to post such threats as we are discussing even with the false name, especially one that's been active for a long time.

Not you, I'm quoting "Pieroxy" which is who "spire3661" was referring to.

If you think that's how it would work out in a greed driven society then I admire your optimism.

The movie actually made me think of a modernization of the Roman Republic as some Romans wanted it instead of how it was instead of being fascist.

That's something the N900 can do so there's no excuse in 2015.

Yes, X windows :)
My N900 is a computer FFS.
Nice goalpost shift, but the above comment went "clearly shows that Windows Phone marketshare is INCREASING ?" and it's still there for us to read.
Some of them are run by charities so at least your money is running down a useful drain in that case.
Too much to publish at once.

Most likely, but there was no grid connection in this case until the windmills supplied more incentive than was previously there.
I've only ever seen it as an insult applied so it's completely relevant to the GP. Maybe for a week people applied the label to themselves, but most of the internet missed that week and just see the insult delivered by frustrated virgins who think the world owes them an easy lay.
It would probably have a quick payback even at the far south end of South America or the north of Norway with such high retail electricity prices.
