NAT is not security, it's a placebo, and it's still subject to NAT traversal attacks. Also IPv6 can do NAT (eg. you can use it for a transparent proxy) and there are routers that let you define your own firewall rules so that cheap ADSL router with NAT is already available - so you can do it, just don't assume that NAT is going to keep anyone other than the honest out.
looked at you stupidly and waited for you to toggle in a bootstrap loaded on the switches and lights before they would even consider giving you a prompt.
It's not old, but one of the in-jokes in a Stargate SG-1 episode was where they had recovered from a power outage in the middle of an emergency and had something like thirty seconds to get the computer controlling the gate running or they are all going to die. Then there is a cut to a screen showing Solaris starting up.
With so many system checks and so many other things going on it's typically minutes and never less than 30 seconds. People called it Slowaris for that reason. It's not a flaw when it's something you shutdown every year or two and you want those checks done some time anyway, but it's the nature of the thing.
33% savings from security? If that's the case think how much you could save by using software that is incompatible with the malware that infests the MS platform. There are many other choices now.
I think you will find that is the sole reason. Nobody else was paying for as many developers so all the other distros are repackaging RedHat's work. Lennart's traveling roadshow trying to push systemd hard what must be nearly a decade ago didn't get any takers so it's almost a 100% RedHat product, others didn't want to work on it. The only problem it is a solution to is that the init system (and all the other bits the octopus got into) was not under the control of Lennart.
I'm sure they will drop systemd... if something better comes along
Software projects start from humble beginnings (even if they are hyped a massive amount before they even start) so there was something better at the time when systemd was included in Fedora and many would argue that the earlier init system is still better in many ways than systemd now some years later. There are still a lot of workstations on RHEL6 (instead of 7) out there due to continued teething problems with systemd and commercial software for example. It's still very difficult to troubleshoot machines with systemd that get hung on start up. There's still a design of binary logging, and not much of it, with a race condition that would earn a fail in a school project. There's been a stupid move to disable background tasks when a user logs off. It's come a long way but it needs a bit more work before it can be used in production in some systems.
First - there was an extremely obvious attempt at a joke (which you appear to have taken seriously and appear to require it to contain information) hence the "Responding snottily". Second - how can you get any more snotty than putting down all doctorates as working in fake environments? I really do not see how that does anything other than reflect on the person who is trying to devalue the work of a vast number of others while blowing their own trumpet.
It's projection. He feels he needs to exert dominance and show that he is better than people with doctorates which is kind of entirely pointless due to different people working on different things.
If something better comes along (like, systemd for desktop environments)
Are you being serious or is that some sort of attempt at a trolling suggestion about continued systemd creep into yet another area? Gnome is the desktop that RedHat is paying developers to work on so it effectively IS the desktop environment equivalent of systemd (it's just far better administered so there are far less complaints than there are about systemd).
Consistency should not be the one and only goal. If that's all we wanted, we could have just rolled with whatever Microsoft felt like handing down.
I agree with the point but not with the example. Using a few things in "Control Panel" shows how inconsistent the MS bucket of assorted GUIs is. Not even Microsoft stick to whatever Microsoft felt like handing down.
There was a Common Desktop Environment for *nix years ago (CDE) but mostly just the company pushing it (Sun Microsytems) liked it and nearly everyone else used something else. Even Sun gave up on it. I can't see the current version of Gnome as being a better choice than Unity or even the previous (deliberately incompatible to the point of breakage if it's on the same system) version of Gnome. Trying to converge everyone to that is IMHO doomed to failure even if RedHat push it as hard as they have pushed trying to get everyone onto SystemD.
but I think a very relevant question is who gains from the release of chemical weapons? Right now I can see ways in which the rebels gain, Trump gains
Trump loses. It's made the situation more complicated and since the US military was already acting in Syria no pretext for additional action was required. As for the rebels gaining that is beyond ridiculous. If they had the stuff they could gain much more by using it on their enemies than on themselves in some quest to get the pity they didn't get after all the other times rebels died from gas. I don't think Assad would see it as a gamble. He's done it many times before with no problems for him. He probably expected another UN complaint that would be vetoed by Russia (again).
Because your opinion leads to military action in Syria
No it does not. Instead of being hysterical and attacking messengers perhaps you should consider whose opinions really count instead of trying to pretend that I am to blame. You are also forgetting that is is very likely that those rebels are actually allies that we have been supplying. There already is a lot of US backed and direct US military action going on in Syria.
Get that attention span worked on kid. Just because the evil shit Ghadaffi was up to wasn't in the press for a while doesn't mean that all should be forgiven. It's incredible strange (and even more pathetic) that Ghaddafi is getting the "born again" treatment just because Hillary may have fucjed up in 2011. Do you really worship The Party more than you care for your country? Are you that good a Komrade?
Do I have to drag Zombie Reagan up out of his grave to give you turncoats a talking to? It's truly strange that "conservatives" decided that Ghaddafi was no longer an evil prick exporting terrorism just so they could find something bad to say about Hillary. Well Hillary is never really going to be relevant now so there's no longer any reason to dishonor the 189 Americans who died on Pan Am Flight 103 and the many other things Ghaddafi was involved with.
Ah - the "I'm not saying" trick. The only state-level actor who would benefit from this outcome is the USA and it's just too ridiculous and convoluted a plot for that to be credible since no excuse of this type is necessary to increase the level of involvement. Or are you going to blame Israel? That's even more ridiculous because their government just wants to sit back and watch Syria burn without it escalating to the point where Israel is dragged in.
So complicated false flag stuff is OK without evidence but a suggestion that someone in politics is lying is not? I think you have it backwards. A lie is a lot simpler than a massive conspiracy theory that involves a group with very little in the way of resources killing their own members instead of using the very effective weapons involved against their enemies.
Maybe instead of a complicated Tom Clancy plot it's a lot more simple to suggest that this is just Putin's obvious lie number 2000 or so.
Besides, it's an opinion. Why do I need evidence for my opinion when you do not need it for yours?
OK - you probably worked that out long ago but some many out there do not understand that Trump can never be taken at his word. He seems to have broken it more than kept it which is why US Banks wouldn't touch him in the last decade.
Also there was very little US reaction to the earlier chemical weapon attacks in Syria so that reason sounds incredibly unlikely. Elvis alive today riding on a unicorn unlikely.
I think the real question is whether Assad did it, or the rebels (in order to provoke a reaction from the US).
No sorry, that's not a real question just an attempt to sow doubt that you have been sucked into. It's a "when will you stop beating your wife" question designed to imply that someone is beating their wife whether they are or not.
Putin and the people working for him are very good at asking that sort of "question" and that is where this one comes from. See what has been said about Crimea for the last few years for many examples. The "questions" about Ukraine shooting down MH-17 (instead of Russian troops who provided anti-aircraft support for rebels doing it, which appears to be that actual case) are some of the more obvious ones.
you always come late to the discussion and add condescending comments that make no sense to anyone but you.
Pot lying while calling the refrigerator black. That one should make sense to you quote altering guy.
There's nothing new about "A players hire A players; B players hire C players", even Steve Jobs used to say that
What's new is your redefinition of all of the players, plus it's bullshit anyway. You don't hire a guy with a doctorate and a dozen years experience to make sure the photocopier is full of paper.

He also introduced his politics into the "jargon file", don't forget that.

They should try China instead. The USA is not even very interested in looking after the infrastructure already in place.

No. He was still up to his tricks until the day he died it's just that the terrorists he supplied more recently were not bothering us.
Get that attention span worked on kid. Just because the evil shit Ghadaffi was up to wasn't in the press for a while doesn't mean that all should be forgiven.

Crawling out from under that rock and picking up a few newspapers printed this decade will help.
Seriously - what's with the fake ignorance?
Presumably the same thing he gained from his earlier chemical weapon attacks.
Did you forget about those?
So complicated false flag stuff is OK without evidence but a suggestion that someone in politics is lying is not?
I think you have it backwards.

OK - you probably worked that out long ago but some many out there do not understand that Trump can never be taken at his word. He seems to have broken it more than kept it which is why US Banks wouldn't touch him in the last decade.
You've only just worked that out? Even his support acts for some of his rallies that didn't get paid worked that out around a year ago.
Also there was very little US reaction to the earlier chemical weapon attacks in Syria so that reason sounds incredibly unlikely. Elvis alive today riding on a unicorn unlikely.
I think the real question is whether Assad did it, or the rebels (in order to provoke a reaction from the US).
