    Because systemD is being pushed by red-hat. And red-hat makes money, no their 'entire' business model is selling support.
    So would they want a piece of software that you can use yourself correctly? No, they want a piece of software that is so arcane and labyrinth ridden that you have to pay them to tell you how to use it.
    right now the majority of the systemD dev's in the kernel area that are pushing for this are outnumbered and Linus won't allow it in because the only advantage and reason they can come up with that is now buzzwords are the speed improvements simply from having it run in kernel space. But gkh got a coup done in the kernel dev committee or what ever it's called and pushed through a standards of conduct, i bet he is practically salivating in anticipation for the next time linus goes on a rant and he can use it to censor him or kick him out.

    systemD, constantly restarts all three services. filling up log files, and grinding the system to a halt.
    user can not see error because the disc is busy ballooning the log file to gigabytes in size as systemD restarts services A,B,and C when B crashes on startup every time.

    I used to hate pulseaudio too, until i was forced to use it to get the games i was buying off of steam to have sound.

  14. Re:I Don't Get It on Ubuntu Gets Container-Friendly "Snappy" Core · · Score: 1

    Nope, it brings DLL hell to linux.
    Sure you get the developers environment, but every program can and will depend on different versions of the same library.
    This is what DLL hell was in windows. Program A needed version A of msvexample.dll while program B needs version D, version A is newer but overwriting it causes program B from working so they put in both. You now have two versions of the same library and just like windows you are still vulnerable to any problem in the library because program B needs version D.
    Even windows is moving away from this system and ubuntu and LP are hell bent on turning linux into a shoddy version windows 9X.

    It's biology.
    The studies were done with babies less than a year old as to rule out cultural influence.
    It is also the fact that different hormones affect the human brain differently, a brain awash with testosterone will be structurally different than one awash in estrogen and progesterone.
    Keep in mind just a change in the level of serotonin can radically change someone's behavior.

    This is the swedish paradox. The more equal the society the more likely that the sex's flock to 'traditional' roles.
    The only difference seems to be in reaction to this, in sweden they decided to study it and found out, *gasp* human brains between the sexs are pretty much wired differently. Who would of thought of that in a species with sexual dimorphism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    In the united states how ever, the lack of women in STEM jobs and the lack of men in Nursing is seen not as a result of hard wired biological differences. But some kind of 'oppression' like women bullying men who go into nursing, and some invisible boogeyman called the 'patriarchy' calling women 'bossy' and making them not want to be leaders and such.

    This is mainly because people forget that the person who 'invented' game theory ended up being committed to an institution due to actually being a psychopath.
    Which is the major downfall of the theory is that it assumes all players have the same mindset. When he conducted tests with people in his office and the general population he was dumbfounded as to why they chose the cooperative path even though it was less statistically successful than the selfish path. I.E they chose to share the loot rather than lie to their partner about depositing their share in the agreed upon location and taking it all.
