That's what you're supposed to do on Red Hat, where it installs all kind of crap by force. On Debian, the expected way to remove services you don't need is to uninstall them. There's nothing akin to chkconfig, intentionally.
Ok, I just checked with 0.9.8. Plugging my phone in: udb0 pops up, gets the address configured from/etc/network/interfaces, both IPv4 and IPv6. Can ping the other side. Wait half a minute. Suddenly there's no address anymore, the interface is still up.
This would be a good thing if Gnome didn't declare Network Manager to be a mandatory component. In Debian, making it removable needed to be forced by the Technical Committee twice.
I used to care about this when I still believed Gnome3 is not "yet" usable and it's just a matter of work/time. Nowadays, I've seen how much ill will and how little sanity Gnome3 upstream has, and I wouldn't call it a work of the devil to not insult Satanists, so I don't give a damn about Gnome3's dependencies anymore. Too bad, some people try to make Network Manager installed by default (for example, it is on Raspbian), and that's major damage.
There is only one case it may be useful: if you use wifi but no other networking, not even a virtual machine or a tunnel -- Network Manager's wifi interface is superior to those of wicd. Too bad it conflicts with anything else.
Gnome3's interface... let's not speak of it, I prefer to not use words it deserves among civilised people.
As for Network Manager, try running it with any USB networking (direct connect, like with a phone, rather than an USB-connected ethernet card): it will kill the interface every roughly 30 seconds. Its upstream refused to fix that saying they don't aim to support every possible device. Or, bridged setups. Or, basically anything more complex than a plain ethernet or wifi interface.
It wouldn't be bad if Network Manager accepted that it's not infallible and allowed such devices it does not support. But not, it insists it has the complete view of the system's network, everything else is wrong, and even if you blacklist a device it knows (not possible for ones it doesn't), it still says you're in "offline mode" when you use programs that made the mistake of querying NM.
If a single line, "apt-get purge network-manager", instantly fixes all problems of this kind, I'm kind of disinclined to believe that "it works pretty well".
I'd say that a sweet dirigible would benefit us more than another variant of F18. Even with hydrogen, they're safer and more economical than planes, it's just that loads of money went into optimizing planes while no one seriously pursued dirigibles since the '30s.
If you want to be safe from malware, use torrents. It's "legal" downloads that are riddled with crap. Starting with the Java installer for Windows being bundled with Ask Toolbar malware, through big sites pushing repackaged open source stuff wrapped up in a rogue installer, up to most commercial games installing rootkits like SecuROM or Steam. And don't even start with "only light DRM" or by twisting the definition of rootkit to exclude Steam: it needs root, holds it, uses it against you, so it's a rootkit, period.
In the Windows world, it's captain Anakata's bay where safest software comes from.
gaining weight without having changed eating habits
I used to have lightning fast metabolism when I was young, but can't eat as much nowadays (or I get fat). The solution is simple: eat less.
Being addicted to overeating doesn't make it a good decision, yet like any addiction can be treated, by strong will or other means. It's just that people are offended by the thought they might be mentally ill.
The body can't store energy if it has no excess. Even if it tried for some reason if would pull it back from fat stores later the same day for normal operation.
If they're still gaining weight, then your "reasonable calorie diet" is set too high.
Then tell me where do they magically pull nutrition from?
They increase the appetite, making people feel like they want to eat more, nothing else. They do not cause weight gain. Otherwise, you could go breatharian consuming nothing but this drug and still gain weight:p
Damage or a winner? I feel so bad about having a cheap, efficient, and above all, quiet box.
I bought this 4*2GHz baby, and the only reason it's not my main desktop yet is a weird and asinine requirement for monitor resolution to be exactly 720 or 1080 (WTF?!?). I think I'll replace my old but perfectly working pair of 1280x1024 monitors (I hate 16x9!), and put the big loud clunker to the cellar. I just hate the noise so much. x86 machines with no moving parts are extremely hard to get, and have terrible performance/price. Anything that requires lots of processing power: compilation, running Windows VMs, etc, can be done remotely from the cellar just as well, while a 2GHz arm is fast enough to do client stuff, running a browser being the most demanding part.
And what else do you need to reside directly on the machine you plop your butt at?
Also, a lot of algorithms, perhaps even most, rely on branching, which is something GPUs suck at. And only some can be reasonably rewritten in a branchless way.
No such condition can result in obesity. All they affect is feeling of hunger. Ie, it's somewhat harder to control yourself but it physically can't make you fat.
There were no obese people at Auschwitz, hormones or not. Uncle Adolf's diet went to the other side, by being nutritionally deficient, but you can't deny it prevented being fat. Limit food intake, and you will not get obese, period.
Can't you filter the mails in procmail instead? As you' mention having "servers", in plural no less, I assume you have the capacity to process mail on your own.
Feeling he's reasonable or not doesn't matter: the line was advertised as unlimited, but it was not. So even though I do agree allowing such usage for cheap is not sustainable, it must be written in the contract, and more important, in advertising.
Anything up to transferring data at the link's speed 24/7, ie, as much as it's physically possible. Anything else is an artificial limit.
I'm not saying I disagree with such artificial caps, as in this case it makes sense, but such such a cap needs to be included in advertising materials. You're not allowed to lie just because the competition lies as well.
Then a drunk stoned hobo comes and kills you with a knife, tortures your wife then rapes your daughter. And gets a monetary reward of all your valuables. Congrats.

Or preferably, merely on different btrfs subvolumes. No need to micromanage free space this way, you can test upgrades, etc.
Putin eating a mammoth steak, cooked rare
Eating meat nearly raw is mostly an American custom (ok, and some aboriginal groups'). So is drinking beer so cold you can't feel any taste.

s/udb0/usb0/, doh. Sorry, the "preview" button is there just to make the interface look less empty, right?

With no network-manager, the addresses stay.

Did they upgrade away from Gnome3, network-manager and systemd? If not, why should we even look at it?
I'd say that a sweet dirigible would benefit us more than another variant of F18. Even with hydrogen, they're safer and more economical than planes, it's just that loads of money went into optimizing planes while no one seriously pursued dirigibles since the '30s.
You're right, it runs as SYSTEM, which bears higher privileges than any user, including Administrator, on Windows system.

I check my personal e-mails, and I check my personal phone messages approximately 594,000,000 times per microsecond
You mean, you don't have push notifications?

Yes, but if you don't allow such kind of usage, don't advertise it as unlimited. So in my book, it's Verizon who's wrong here.

Which would still be ridiculously long for present technology.
