Comment Re:compromise (Score 1) 837

my thinking exactly. also, a diffrent tax rate for commericial vs residential. Someone might need to drive a 5 ton truck for business, so we give them a little break, so we don't raise the price of goods and services. As long as someone is doing something productive with the vehicle its fine. However we can raise taxes on people who recreationally drive heavy vehicles they don't neccerially need. Not an outright ban, but if you want to drive your giant SUV when you could have used a much smaller car, you need to pay your share of the extra wear on the roads. This is only fair. SUVs are expensive. Gas is expensive. If you can afford the gas, and you can afford the truck, you can afford the roads.

still less of a scumbag that most of congress. Far less credible as well. If you think thats bad, start asking how the prison industry works, how drugs get approved, or oh yeah, legalized insider trading. US Congress.

Plus, the amount of people that died, or litteral wars started by Kim for profit? none.

How many people did Kim have arrested or tortured for getting in his way? none

So, yeah, he's a scumbag. But he's far less dirty then most media figures and US politicians, because his crimes are far smaller in scope, and less destructive in nature?

Assange has his own personal problems, but again, slight compared to what we have running the show. I wouldn't vote for, or support either is a leader, but I do support both as sources of information, because of which they do a better job, and are far more altrusitic than what we have now.

If you start waiting for someone with a perfect record, you'll be waiting a long time with no friends.

It really depends. What do you want out of your desktop. If you want it to "just work", stick with the default mint desktop, and let automatic updates simply update your machine when it tells you.

Firefox and chromium work just as well on linux as windows, and those are your only too browsers that you should give a fuck about. Also, VLC is in most major repos, and works just as well on linux.

Stick with mint. In fact. I'd simply install the LTS version, and upgrade when you change PCs.

Comment Lets further attack ostracized persons. (Score 2) 950

Here seems to be the game plan going back as least as far as the Salem Witch Trials. Lets find people who are already ostracized from society and blame them for societies ills.

No need to worry about some pro-athletes beating or murdering people, or frat boys in their perpetual rape and disorderly conduct sprees. Just find someone on the skirts of society to blame.

no, this is typical psychology industry creating problems to solve.

notably absent from the studies are frat boys, pop stars, pro-athletes, or anyone who has objectively worse behavior but makes more money to the system.

I mean we could have said athletics have a rape and violence problem, but the media tends to blur it into "all men do this".

What Red Hat and the systemd crowd doesn't want to here is that most users that care do not want systemd.

What the anti-systemd crowd doesn't seem to get is that they are not most users. As far as the old init system, it needed to go.

I currently use many distros that run systemd to include a RH7 derrivative, and I can only say good things about it.
