You read it again.

And everyone with a clue is saying that the conclusion doesn't hold, because the sample size is ridiculously, uselessly small.

IIRC, the greens are the "energy efficient" drives, and I think they power themselves down when idle, and up when they come back into use, so the numbers can grow even if the machine hasn't been rebooted since the drive was first installed.

That depends on what those rules turn out to be. Thus the "watch and see" part of my approach.

If you count ALL devices, you're just as clueless as those nitwits who thought tablets were going to make PCs a niche market again.

Hell, if nothing else, it means I can start writing .NET stuff for Linux, without dicking around with Mono, only to find out two weeks in that the piece I need isn't actually in Mono...

So hey, I'll keep watching for the poison pill, but between that and free VS? I'll give 'em a cookie this time.

If internet service was a free market, it wouldn't exist. All it would take is one douchebag with the right lot to say "fuck no, you can't put that [junction point/wiring box/exchange] on my property" and that's an entire neighborhood possibly off the grid. And most neighborhood have no shortage of those types.

Ya think, DiNozzo?

I'm just surprised we haven't given the bastards jus primae noctis yet.

I wasn't being hypothetical: The FCC has already put forward their "hybrid" approach. I've not read anything that says anyone called bullshit and they backed off it, though.

(Link is a secondary source, references paywalled WSJ article, but the quotes are what I linked it for. I didn't read what the techdirt guy had to add to it)

Were you actually alive back then? "Better service" is not generally a characteristic often associated with Ma Bell.

Did he actually support regulating it as a utility, or did he support that bullshit "hybrid" proposal that essentially leaves us where we are now, so we'll take our fake little cookie and STFU about it.

So if... nobody is offended by it then how, exactly, does that make it a problem?

Just for clarity, the bogus claims/"research" were vivisected, not the idiot making the video.

Anita Sarkeesian. 5th video, IIRC. Delightfully vivisected by Thunderf00t.

I asked a similar question a few weeks back. It seems that FreeBSD's "pkg-ng" still has a few rough edges but is coming along pretty nicely.

It's not proof, but if you look at the Init System general resolution thread on the mailing list, there's a loooong subthread where the logic behind the GR is appropriate under the debian constitution.
