" I'm arguing that the claims that it isn't a choice are baseless." - are you saying that being gay is a choice? i'm reading your statement as "claims of being gay is a choice", please tell me i'm wrong and i'm still not awake enough to understand your statement
"Homosexuality is nothing new; it's been around for thousands of years" - that bit is true
" and is nothing more or less than a rejection of normality and moral traditions." but that bit is complete crap, you should get a job at fox news
??? you believe fox news??? now, believing crap, that is something you can catch especially from a highly contagious organisation like fox news. Some people are born gullible but get over it.
they've been testing underwater turbines for over 10 years in scotland so i guess they must have some solution regarding the corrosion and barnacles plus these are all still experimental and with all experiments, there will be failures along the way. all things that have moving parts require maintenance even the fossil fuel power stations but i would expect to see a lot less maintenance for these turbines
I know you've got some:)s in your comment but the "birds death" thing is mainly related to one bad placed wind farm in California that is place in a migratory route for some birds, its not as bad as the naysayers make out, cats kill a multitude more birds than virtually all other man made systems
thats a very defeatist attitude. Why do you expect a solution to be "immediate"? its taken decades to get ICEs to get to the efficiency they have now and they still aren;t as efficient as an electric motor. Trucks can be designed to use electric motors and as they are trucks, they could tow a replaceable power pack because it won;t look daft like it would on a car. Other sustainable newish ways of generating power are increasing, e,g, solar, wind, tidal that add to the older sustainable versions of hydro and geothermal and the other clean way, nucleur. People tend to forget electricity is already using clean generation int the form of hydro and geothermal. Eventually there are going to be cross continent grids powered by solar, e.g. the UK is currently looking at the idea of getting power from solar farms in the north of Africa
Be positive and look forward, don't cling onto the old ways as the only ways
Thats an old article on old thinking and paradigms. The advance and explosion of use of renewable power generation technology is beginning to mitigate those old ideas. Sure, there will still be oil based things going on for a long time but it will change as more and more electricity is generate by non-polluting tech. Electric cars are beginning to gain traction, battery tech is improving, power storage is developing. Once the manufacturers decide to develop the short haul vans/buses/taxis etc to use electric only, it will reduce oil based transportation. Seems all the detractors of renewable and sustainable energy expect the solution overnight completely forgetting just how many decades its taken the fossil fuel systems to get to the point they are now.
Thanks. I always thought that libraries contained all the bits of common functionality that would be used by different programs.
I'm not sure that systemd does lock out competitive replacements. I'm using opensuse 13.1 and it uses the usual NTP and DCHP and not the systemd derived versions so that implies to me that its configurable as to which programs systemd can use.
what infuriating lack of text logs? You need to read up about journald configuration... ppsssstt you can configure it to use syslog as well or instead of its own logging (or both)
I think you need to go and read the documentation and not rely on slashdot anti-systemd posters as they are misinformed most of the time becuase they haven't done any research
and if your text file logs get corrupted or deleted?? shit happens, any files can get corrupted. At least with journald you can have logging done just binary, just text or both types simultaneously, configure it for both if the possibility of corruption worries you. What do you do if your text logs get completely deleted or corrupted due to some failure or bug?
"Bias Disclosure: I currently dislike systemd because — without diving very deeply into the documentation, mind — it looks and feels like a poorly-described, gigantic mess I know nothing about"
now isn't that just the reason for most of the vitriol.. making judgments without any research/evidence to back up your rationale, sort of like being a troll.
Come back when you've done the research and can back up your bias with evidence, thats the only way people can come to a reasoned decision about anything
Slashdot Mirror
most rabid homophobes are scared of that, they must be teetering on the edge of the precipice of being gay
are you sure, i thought all iPhone user had "grindr" on it.
How do you know that they didn;t order it by the "backdoor"?

i doubt there'd be anything on a moving blade but they could just send down divers or submersibles to scrap anything off
better tell all the boat builders about that, they might not have worked out a way to mitigate that problem
they've picked the deeper sites to avoid ships

Did you check if UK coal plants are the same as US with regards to output (as this is a project in Scotland)?
Pre-sliced sushi - whats the problem with that?

stop propagating shit. read this and try and comprehend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
"You're just not going to feed 7 billion plus folks without oil." - is that your guess or is that substantiated by evidence?

can you list those things that are dependant on systemd so we can start to compile a list?
I would hope your application would tell you that you are out of disk space and deal with it accordingly.
"Modularity not only implies duplication of code, it requires it." - can you explain that in a bit more detail ?
