  1. The US is not a Democracy it is a Republic... on Ask Slashdot: We've Had Online Voting; Why Not Continuous Voting? (iamnotanumber.org) · · Score: 1

    ... we have an electoral college.

    Democracy is a rule of majority... a Republic is a rule of law

    A democracy is a tyranny of majority.

    Here is how they used systemd to patch Heartbleed without rebooting (they were running 5000 nginx instances on one box):

    restarting process / containers and counting processes as servers but claiming to not reboot is cheating.

    If you call a container a server and restart the container process you rebooted it. If you count processes as servers... well... its not.

  6. Re:Free speech zone on Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference · · Score: 1

    Dont lose the init script skills. When systemd hits those enterprise stacks with software from long since gone vendors someone will have to support it.

    It is going to be interesting to watch. I currently work at a Fortune 100 and the only groups even remotely close to adopting systemd / rhel7 are in R n D ... the stable money maker systems wont convert or even think about it for a few years.... if ever.

    point being #8 shot is not going to do much, if any, damage at 200 feet....

      and as far as pervs with drones... i have a daughter... that perv is lucky his drone was the only thing "damaged"

    ... simply put at that range ( 200 ft ) any pellets the size of #6 or smaller would simply not have the ballistic energy.

    Legal recourse because someone doesnt choose to follow your medical practices ?

    Going to sue nature for making the sicknesses next ?

    Vaccines are a reactive system that works on yesterdays problems. If you aren't healthy enough to survive in nature without being vaccinated then nature will kill you. Non vaccinated people have nothing to do with your inability to fight off sicknesses.

  22. Re:I am not worried about it on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 1

    I question how any sentient being can ignore the fact that the world has to be different because man is here. If we were not here our bodies would not be consuming resources, making heat islands, and in general generating heat from simply existing and using resources.

    Not to mention using those resources we are eliminating the earths cooling sinks.

    Whether that will cause long term issues is something we have to wait and see. Fact is... we are here using energy generating the by product of heat.

    As to CO2 ... symptom of our existence... maybe contributor to the heat.
