  1. it is modular, there are only 3 components that are required to depend, systemd, journald and udev. you can replace every other optional component with your own version. LP even produced a shim library for Gnome to run logind without systemd but gnome decided not to use it. glibc is a bigger dependency for all linux software but no-one calls that monolithic.

    If the so called 'professional security agencies' have been so successfully monitoring Islamic State's account why didn't they stop the people being recruited into the terrorist organization?

    I would hazard a guess that its best for them to create a list of all people communicating so they can work out the networks in more detail, you don;t want to show your hand before you have to otherwise they change the way they communicate.

    its a world wide problem. Scare the "ordinary" people with almost plausible scare stories (because not many investigate beyond the sound bite) and then you control them, has always worked well for all nationalists and anti-semites.

  4. reading the summary is a task for most on /. , no chance of them following a link

  5. depends on what they are trying to uphold. i.e. if they believed in stoning adulterers, would you force them to violate their belief by stopping them?

  6. i don;t think so but they re making stand in some places https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    thats the problem, conflicting messages throughout the bible. i don't know why they don't extract the good stuff and throw away the crap, making changes to a made up book should not be an issue.

  8. if you've turned to God, you've accepted the old testament. if you don't, you'll have to throw out the 10 commandments etc but seeing as Mark and John (interesting Jewish names for that time) attribute them to Moses

  9. its in your bible so its fair comment. so yes, you are being very selective. Nothing in the new disavows or repudiates the old. You either take it all or you cherry pick the good bits

    no, the WBC are the true christians who follow their religion literally.

  11. "And from this same book, you get the definition of what a "Christian" is. " strange you didn't include the genocidal, homophobia, misogyny or the stoning to death parts in your definition of a christian - very selective as most christians are about their interpretation.

  12. i'd be more worried if one of those policemen that ride around with the God bumper sticker stopped me. he'd be prejudiced against a non-christian by definition.

  13. Just because someone is sincere about something, it doesn't make that something true or correct. ISIS are very sincere......

  14. the hat could be hiding an identifiable feature

  15. I'd hate to be mistaken for the age of my dad..... :o)

    There is nothing rational about religion and this is just a parody of religion. Whats rational about wearing an instrument of torture/death (crucifix) around your neck or a turban on your head or a burka etc etc

    More people should have their photo taken with a colander on their head to highlight the absurdity of religious symbols.

    You can tell the patient they are taking a placebo, it still works for some people. There was a placebo research project done in the US shown here in the UK on TV. They told a hospital nurse with IBS that she was one of the test subjects taking a placebo and she was convinced her symptoms improved over the 3 week project. She actually asked to continue taking the tablets after the project completed but was refused because the rules/laws surrounding the project.
