Love the parroting of corporate propaganda, right out of Microsoft's playbook: "anybody who doesn't like vista/win8/ribbon/ooxml is just an old fuddy-duddy luddite, all the cool kids love our latest super-cool technology."

> As far as this "UNIX Philosphy", fuck that shit.

If you hate it so much, use ms-windows. I mean it. If you want a proprietary system that controls everything with one big super-complex blob, then use ms-windows and be happy, and leave everything UNIX-like alone.

BTW: the UNIX philosophy is not just dogma, it has a practical purpose and has worked very well.

If so, why?

> "President explained he's pushing tech immigration reform hard and using executive action to help address tech's "urgent need" for global talent."

What "urgent need?"

Any real evidence to support this? Tech companies, and their lobbyists, and political cronies, have been "shortage shouting" for decades. It is not unusual for tech companies to be shortage shouting even while lying off thousands of US workers.

If you want more tech workers, provide good jobs for them. Make your tech workers feel confident that they will not be replaced by cheaper H1Bs, or have their jobs off-shored. Let your developers know that they will not be forced to work 100 hour a week with no overtime pay.

All these types of articles are just PR stunts to make the public think there is some desperate shortage, when there really is not.

If girls/women don't like STEM, fine let them do something else. An RN can earn well over $100K/year. Why no screaming hissy-fit over a lack of male nurses?

I bet a lot of great tech start-ups lacked diversity. Not just gender diversity, but age, income, education, and race, as well. All young white guys who come from well-off families, and dropped out of big name colleges. I wonder if those start-ups would have worked as well if they were burdened with diversity regulations.

I have read the same complaint from others.

On the other hand, some CentOS users say XFCE4 works fine them on CentOS 7.

Everything worked for me on CentOS 6.5.

Game of Thrones
Walking Dead
Agent Carter

I guess that's about it.

Shouldn't this be great news for NetFlix?

Shouldn't this be awful news for Comcast?

Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called "wheat germ, organic honey and tiger's milk."
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.

Just an honest question.

Certainly this does not have to be part of systemd to work, just like udev did not have to be part of systemd to work.

So why?

People actually want their information stored in Microsoft's proprietary format? I thought that was something done out of ignorance, or because you felt forced to do so.

For me, Microsoft's proprietary formats have been a nightmare. I am glad to be rid of them.

Linux + systemd = MS-Windows.
