    unfortunately you won't change the minds of those that have painted themselves into a corner. Take the stupid question the AC asked about systemd throwing away stderr messages, it an old misinformed rant which about the low standard of the complaints about systemd, maybe the AC should RTFM, here is a good place for him/her to start with stderr http://www.kibinlabs.com/syste...

    my guess woiuld be that they are trying to remove as much mechanical operation as possible to save weight (and possibly assembly time), even steering and hand brakes have gone electrical in some cars

    what point? he/she totally missed my point that its about anti virus maker trying to makes sales with crap information. i couldn't care if its a trojan or virus, if you can't say how it gets onto a machine, then your case for it being a problem seems very bogus. Virtually all antivirus suppliers have come up with crap scare stories to get linux users to buy their product.
