A desktop system, perhaps one that is intended to appeal to non-tech audience, might be a good use for systemd. But a production servers, where quick troubleshooting to a mission critical system is a crucial requirement, does not need a massive and complex black box that requires many moving parts. That's what is bad about systemd, needless complexity in the boot process.

haha, under what president was the EPA created? and the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Environmental Pesticide Control Act, and the Endangered Species Act become law? DDT banned? why Tricky Dicky Richard Nixon, of course.

HW Bush made Clean Air Act tougher and that reduced acid rain and smog at the time

  Obama is for fracking, some key Democrats just pulled support for anti-fracking laws, Obama allowed starting drilling in sensitive arctic areas, Obama caved in and didn't allow new smog/ozone levels as being too expensive on industry (even though Bush in 2008 made tough new ground level ozone/smog standards)

You're not very tech savvy if you mention "grep", that utility has been in various operating systems since 1973. MS-DOS 2.x called it FGREP or FIND depending on version. Macs have grep.

I did zero work having Linux Mint recognize my NVIDIA card, sound system, wireless....maybe you should research a system's support for Linux rather than plopping it on something (usually full of cheap "win-devices")

Comment Re:performance never measured in MHz (Score 1) 151

Nothing you have said reinforces your mistaken notion that MHz ever measured performance. I've already shown that is not true even between Intel processors. You only believe an urban legend, a myth, a falsehood was true. Those of us who did measure performance of machine over the past four decades used benchmarks.

what an absurd statement to make without researching it. Of course plenty of reputable doctors question the existence of this imagined "disease"

Comparing condition of someone apathetic to a boring task to them jack up on amphetamines and claiming that proves something is just laughable.

It does not exist, it is an excuse, and a source of income to big pharmy and big healthcare.

Comment Re:10 MPH over will not cut it on I-294 (Score 1) 475

you are wrong thinking you can't be pulled over even when others are speeding or even going faster than you. Illinois troopers can and do single out a person who is speeding regardless of what others are doing. I have a friend who gets nailed every other year driving to wisconsin and he only "keeps up with the flow of traffic. By the way, each trooper writes average of 72 tickets a day, if they're slow on the "quota" for the day they may start grabbing nearest offenders. sucks, yup.

And the new law for 2014 about going 26 MPH or more over limit and getting jail time and fine, scary stuff.
