I have been told that spiders on these 'balloons' can escape earth gravety
Have you tried thinking about that statement a little more critically? Or to put it another way, did the aeroplane flying overhead just escaped earth's gravity?
Soon, all linux distros will contain 3 files:
You won't need anything else!
Punchline: iPhones and iPads
Imagine that we believe that "two women talking about something other than men" was a good test, we'd therefore lose:
Colonel Samantha Carter, PhD Physicist, intergalactic heroine, smarter than God. Can program, fly fighter jets & alien spaceships, shoot and do things that they don't bother to explain because they are simply beyond us poor males to understand. So that's Stargate gone.
Lt Uhura: Dr Martin Luther King who *some people* see as quite into rights loudly praised her character, but I can't recall her talking to women much, except maybe some of the aliens might have been female, so that's Star Trek gone.
ST in it's various forms look remarkably feminist (usually) women commanded warships in ST long before the US Navy let them, they are engineers, scientists, doctors and of course inexplicable nexus of unknown forces.
Ripley from Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Return of the Alien, The Alien strikes back, Alien Resuscitation. Smart, hard, no bimbo, the Aliens are apparently female, she kills them, conversation with them is rare. The men are a) weak, b) stupid, c) dishonest, d) weak, stupid and dishonest
X-Files : Scully is smart and hardly ever talks to women.
Agents of SHIELD: Loads of women programming, analysing and occasionally shooting at people. The inter-female dialog is rare.
Babylon 5: Strong women, being heads of security, scientists, highly cultured aliens.
Torchwood : Strong female lead, again almost no inter-female dialog.
Under the Dome : The main character is a strong woman, all the weak bad people are men
Terminator 1,2,3, Sarah Connor : Oh look ! what a surprise a strong woman in a world of defective men
I've not yet seen Interstellar, but let me guess, the women in it are smart and honest and whoever is screwing things up is a man ?
I can't be the only person who's noticed that in many SciFi and action films a dumb American male is accompanied by a highly educated woman who actually understands what is going on, whilst he shoots at it.
Is that like how GNOME got started, because people didn't like the qt license? Bleh.
And iwj's original comparison of systemd and upstart:
iwj's rebuttal to rra's write up:
Don't understand. Are MS-DOS machines considered computers or not?
If you are interested in talking about "mother may I" computers, are windows computers in a domain, managed by GPO and software management services, considered computers?
Therefore all those old MS-DOS machines aren't computers, because they don't have split screen multi tasking, right?
Are tablets and smartphones considered computers?
Uh, do you not read slashdot?
Thank you for giving us the Netflix perspective. Counter arguments:
1) Residential broadband networks were never engineered as video delivery systems.
Please stop talking out of your ass. With Comcast, it has been demonstrated that Comcast Residential account has plenty of bandwidth.
The choke point was the interconnect between comcast and level 3. Level 3 was willing to pay for the capital improvements - in fact, in the peering hotel, they could see the other side had open slots in the chassis.
2) Related to the last point above, moving bits doesn't directly cost the ISP money but sustained higher bitrates do require a larger CapEx investment. Caps are a blunt force instrument that should be done away with in favor of demand or 95th percentile billing, IMHO.
And Level 3, Cogent, etc are willing to foot that cost. Which isn't Comcast, etc taking them up on that offer?
4) Settlement free peering (which is essentially what Netflix is demanding) has historically only been offered in instances where the traffic to be exchanged is roughly equal. If you're relying on me to deliver your traffic for you then you pay me. It has been this way since the beginning of the commercial internet. This ecosystem literally built the internet as we know it. If you want to blow it up the onus is on you to explain why your system is better.
Netflix isn't an ISP. They shouldn't be in the peering business. Their ISP is an ISP *AND* is in the peering business. Keeping that straight would be useful in any discussion.
You are right, I misspoke - Debian uses Gnome as default. Which changes nothing about the discussion - systemd is becoming mandatory, in essence, even if, in theory, it is possible to use other inits.
Unfortunately, systemd has become mandatory because of Gnome. Since Debian is based on Gnome - guess what, systemd is now default, and because of the way systemd is written, it basically kills anything else that it tries to replace.
Since when does init needs things like a web server bundled in?!?!
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
