    so write you own versions of their tools (excluding systemd, udev and journald) or use the existing ones that don't depend on systemd and you'll be fine.

    so write your own version of logind and call it logind. the version written and maintained by the systemd project will depend on systemd but there is nothing to stop you writing and using your own version

  3. Re:The GPL on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 1

    a bit like most executables depend on a version of glibc ? The thing is that you can write your own logind etc. If i write tools that take advantage of a particular system, they are by definition going to depend on that system. I really don't see the problem when you can write your own replacements or decide to make your apps not depend on a specific system.

    there is evidence of fish around the UK moving north to colder waters and warmer water fishes arriving on our shores which implies the water is getting warmer

    did you read or watch the video on that page? it doesn't say anything about the depth/thickness of the ice in Antarctica, only the perimeter expanding, it also showed the arctic decreasing at an alarming rate. The scientists in the video mentions those that use this as an excuse to say climate change is not happening

    does that indicate the depth of the ice or just the surface area? take a look at the depletion of glaciers put "glacier melt comparison" into google and check the "Images for glacier melt comparison" - check the dates on the compared images e.g. https://www.google.co.uk/searc...

    of course it is. if he stated he didn't want it, he would say something otherwise they'd be taking up his time unnecessarily, LT is actually looking at the code and commenting.
