A large amount of them are. And you forgot one: thieves. I don't think I have ever met a mexican that was not a thief.

So I guess all Scots are cheap and all Irish are drunks and all White Americans are racist assholes.

Why be anonymous? Why are you a such a wuss? Afraid of being beat up by a Chicano before he steals your girlfriend?

Oh wait, he can't steal your right hand so your girlfriend is safe!

It is jerkoffs like this that give all White Americans a bad name.

Hey Dice, slashdot is at death's doorstep, maybe you should think of putting it out of its misery.

I for one will definitely be spending even less time here in 2016.

Libertarianism doesn't require faith in that. The mix of people actually enjoying acting out of altruism and the situations where people acting for their own good inherently results in the good of the commons (competition, efficiency improvements) is enough for a lot of things and is quite demonstrable without any faith needed.

Uh, OK, if you say so.

Actually, I use sandstorm.io + Etherpad, Ethercalc, and Hacker Slides.

I have mod points but I would rather say thanks for the pointer to sandstorm.

The use of randomized hostnames for separation to increase security is an interesting design choice, but it will have to be self-signed wildcard certs because wildcard certs are still pretty pricey.

I gave the demo at https://demo.sandstorm.io/ at a run through, it is actually a pretty neat framework.

I noticed mongo mentioned in the the debug log, I need to take look at the code because I hear Postgres does NoSQL pretty well these days.

Over the years slashdot comments have really gone downhill, just when you are about ready to give up reading the comments you discover something cool.

Thanks!

Cruz DOES understand the issues, more so than either of the last two presidents.

Just because Cruz convinced all the all the Whites in Texas to get him elected Senator that does not mean he is worth a damn.

Of course it is not too hard to elect morons to state-wide offices in Texas as Republicans when gerrymandered districts significantly reduce the political strength of Blacks and Hispanics here.

Since Texas has open primaries I am going to love voting for The Donald in the Texas Republican primary just to piss off Republicans like you!

Conservatives can (and often do) make a lot of sense. Not all of them of course, but enough to listen to their general point of view. People like e.g. Dick Cheney,

LOL if you are praising Dick Cheney then you are most definitely NOT a liberal. According to PolitiFact Dick Cheney lies 59% of the time:

Dick Cheney is not "sane voice of conservatism" that you seem to think he is...

Progressive means striving for improvement. I don't think "we can do better" is smug or arrogant.

No, but calling people who disagree with you names like "racist" or "sexist" because you can't defend what you FEEL is right IS smug and arrogant.

What's smug and arrogant is lecturing to us without having the balls to take credit for your words.

What's the matter, afraid to put your name on your opinions because it will only confirm publicly that you are an idiot?

I could get behind actions against ISIS because ISIS is a violent organization. The KKK isn't (except in very rare cases)

So in addition to being a White person you are a STUPID White person.

Insightful? Man this place has gone downhill so far that it is hardly worth the effort to read the comments anymore.

That's a fault of the left in general, and the reason their economic and political systems were responsible for so many millions of deaths in the 20th century.

The Axis powers during World War II were NOT on the left and they too were "responsible for so many millions of deaths in the 20th century". I seem to remember that they were also "militantly authoritarian".

"LAMP stacks" aren't affected at all here. Apache or whatever your webserver is should already be running. I run LAMP stacks, and so I know systemd has nothing to fucking do with that shit, at all.

So systemd is not going to restart Apache when it goes down? If it does that proves you are lying, either because you are trying to cloud everything in FUD or because you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

On a "personal workstation" system like my laptop... yes, please.

On a multiuser system... no, of course not.

There will be policies to control whether this stuff is allowed. The KDE guys know what they are doing.

Yeah, systemd will be great for all those servers running KDE that needs to be rebooted frequently.

Where do you defenders of the Church of Systemd come up with this stuff?

As hardware gets more complex making a more complex uses possible, the underlying OS needs to become more complex to support it. There was a very disruptive change in PCs when people moved from single tasking to multi-tasking. It destroyed Amiga. It cost Microsoft something like $8b. It essentially destroyed Apple.

Looks over at the stock market, Apple's stock price this fine Sunday morning is $117.81.

If that is your definition of "essentially destroyed" then there is absolutely no reason to take advice about systemd from you because someone so willing to demonstrate their lack of clue proves that they don't really know what they are going on about..

I cannot understand your "logic".

Watch this Heartland Institute video [youtube.com]

LOL, logic isn't exactly strong in you, young padawan, because anybody who links to video defending climate change deniers isn't being "logical":

claims of scientific certainty and predictions of climate catastrophes are based on "post-normal science," which substitutes claims of consensus for the scientific method. This choice has had terrible consequences for science and society.

Yup, 99 out of 100 scientists have reached a consensus that climate change is real and no amount of propaganda from the oil industry will change that.

Unless there is evidence first, that is how the scientific method works. Show us your evidence that climate change does not exist or you are responding emotionally in a knee-jerk fashion.

Kinda like how the defenders of systemd do as they accuse their opponents of doing exactly that same thing.

I've fixed several long time invisible misconfigurations by myself thanks to it.

Taking a cue from above, you must be a shitty system administrator because I have never seen any invisible misconfigurations myself

Why are you (a) misconfiguring your servers and then (b) hiding those misconfigurations? Sounds like you are trying to create job security for yourself.
