Init scripts are like BAT files for Windows, a technological baggage from the dumb ages where everything was fine as long as it sort of worked, kinda. Who even knows the sh language fluently? I bet every single unix weenie must google at least once, whenever they are forced to write a shell script. What a pile of junk that language is. Even JavaScript is like a mystical paradise compared to that shit.
You've read it here first folks, Bourne Shell is dead, long live Bourne Again Shell! Or csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh, what have you. Oh, wait; parent is probably advocating for the loss of command lines altogether. Good luck doing stupidly repetitive tasks, sonny.
I would be in favor of an organized boycot of the upcoming Superman/Batman movie
I would be in favor of a disorganized ignoring of the upcoming Superman/Batman movie just because I expect the movie to stink. DC's movie series start strong but fail fast. It's like the only stories they can do well are origins, and those are pretty boring.
You just made me think of an interesting new Olympic sport: The Drive-By Biathlon Jump. It will have both street-legal and monster-truck versions for both urban and rural American enjoyment.
Rephrased: how often does someone who is not hiding criminal activity wear a mask on their face?
Maybe it's embarrassing but perfectly legal activity. Or maybe they just like being anonymous.
Prima: I need to do some dodgy shit.
Secunda: I am going to offer a resource for people to do dodgy shit.
Prima: I am going to use your resource to do dodgy shit.
Secunda: OK, please carry on using it.
Prima: I need to be anonymous
Secunda: I offer masks. Masks make you anonymous.
Prima: I am going to use your resource (thinking only to self: to do dodgy shit.)
Secunda: I'm glad someone appreciates my fine craftsmanship.
If a bankrobber robs a bank while wearing a mask purchased from a store, is that mask store held liable? Usually only if the bank robber explicitly said "I'm going to use this mask to do dodgy shit".
users of the tor network don't notify exit node maintainers what they plan to do with the exit nodes they transfer data from. At best, an exit node maintainer might be able to firewall off certain sites, but that's cumbersome and doesn't prevent 99% of evil use cases.
Way to start a flame war. This is clearly a yro.slashdot.org story, but the religious aspect was too good to pass up. "Hey, let's poke a bee hive and post this to the science site"
It doesn't matter if we're talking about smoking tobacco, pot, drinking booze, having unmarried sex, interracial sex, gay sex, eating too much, drinking soda, dancing, singing, worshipping the wrong deity, reading the wrongs books, etc.
Except when people drink a Big Gulp (TM) 44oz drink, they don't usually spill the drink everywhere including other people's mouths. Public smokers don't realize how disgusting they are, forcing their habit on others.
The trouble is with some cars, the "red tail lights are on" and "red tail lights are even more on" difference between driving at night and braking at night wasn't different enough. Instead of legislating a change in the way the current two-brakelight system worked, they opted for a 2 if driving, 3 if braking system. Unfortunately, I've seen people brake with a failed middle light and I've noticed that I'm a little slower in reacting without the middle brake light.
It's even worse than this. The US federal government did a program several years back called "Cash for Clunkers" where the only cars the poor could afford were bought from middle class owners by "the government" (car dealers with government monetary incentives) at reasonable prices, and then the cars' engines were filled with sand and scrapped. So for a couple years, used cars were less available to poorer people.
To further expound on this concept: Cheap energy is what turns subsistence farmers into middle-class workers. The cheaper the energy, the wealthier everyone becomes (yes, including the ultra-rich). Make energy expensive enough, and the middle class might be hit pretty hard too, but not before the poor get smacked in the face.
All energy taxes hit the poor the hardest. Increases in gasoline prices cause indirect rises in all food and storebought goods because deliveries cost more. Buses charge more. Riding the bus might become a luxury in favor of buying food.

There are almost no basements in Texas.
Why not? You'd think they'd be a nice place to cool off.
The go wikipedia article is the 3rd result if I just search for "go".
And if you want the wikipedia go article, you can just go to wikipedia. Other go articles are harder to find.

Especially old SCSI drives. Peuw! Stink-o-rama! It's like really bad B.O.
Get your cars and your guns of my ski-slope ; ).

Where can I find one of these?

Unless you freeze the liquid or insert an ice cube. Then there's some solid in there too. Or put the glass in a vacuum chamber.

Too bad it's not slang for groovy radically bodacious these days.

More like arresting a taxi driver for transporting a bank robber when the taxi driver didn't know he was a bank robber.

This is like nuking Nigeria to stop Nigerian scams.
As GP clearly stated: what it replaced wasn't broken. It's change for the sake of change which is rarely good.

I never saw light without not seeing the positron/electron pair formation. Ask Mr. Cat.
