Here is finally something you could introduce to get rid of those pesky cane toads! I foresee no problems whatsoever. :-)

"Any change like systemd is going to disruptive."

And that's where he completely misses the point. In the UNIX world, swapping out one component for another doing the same thing should be like swapping out a Lego (tm) brick for a different colored one. It doesn't have to be disruptive, and if it is YOU'RE FUCKING DOING IT WRONG!!!

The point was that you don't even need to do that.

The proposed solution is to hold your hand the other way around exposing only your fingernails. ;-)

GE transforming to a startup? Yeah, and on the same note I'm sure that the local circus elephant will learn to fly and soar through the skies any day now. Seriously, as someone who's been working as a contractor for GE for almost 2 years now, the notion of them becoming a startup is utterly ridiculous. In practice the "startup" changes have meant abandoning personal office space for noisy productivity-destroying open plan offices, appointing someone as "scrum master", slapping a parody of scrum on top of the waterfall model and calling it agile.

Seriously, what the would need to do is shave off about 7 layers of bureaucracy, because right now, something as simple as trying to get QA to accept that the test reports generated by the test automation are not going to be identical to the ones that were previously used when testing was done by hand is a six month political struggle where managers of different departments have to assert themselves in a dick measuring competition. I'd say these guys are about 123 years away from being a startup... :-P

True. Here is one example: http://miria.homelinuxserver.o...

May be. But this particular bug does not allow remote anything. It requires a local malicious user. PFTFCVELITS (Please Follow The Fine CVE Link In The Summary)

This is an abuse of the word "nothing", which is a universal negation "not anything". But quantum fluctuations in the quantum vacuum are something, and not nothing. The research might be interesting, but it does nothing for the question the philosopher is asking when he is wondering "Why there is somerthing rather than nothing?"

After a few months in the basement of the ministry of truth he had finally learned to love Big Brother...

Riiight...

Well, those were not among the features that this aircraft has in common with its Western counterparts.

This is why proprietary software is a bad thing and we should avoid products like this.

No mention of hell in the Bible? Informative? Seriously?

But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

They did. They performed all their actions in Sweden where their actions were not illegal. This is also why there for a long time were no action taken against TPB, despite the site being far from unknown to the prosecutors of that country. Then after a few years the MAFIAA started pressing for US politicians to do something about this. They in turn put pressure on Swedish politicians (behind the scenes, since in Swden it's illegal for the politicians to tell the prosecutors what to do). Suddenly their servers are confiscated and they're put into a courtroom before a judge who conveniently happens to have close ties to the Swedish MAFIAA-equivalent...

Prosecution rests...

Let me do the honors: "Bend over suckers."
