Not sure about that, but they are inventing a new way to run services. They will have a new program called daemonhostd which can host multiple services. All you have to do is recompile sendmail and apache as shared object libraries and daemonhostd will dynamically load and run them in the same process to save resources.
As a further refinement, they are also writing kdaemonhostd which is exactly the same but it all runs in kernel space to improve performance.
But also,
so a student developer has taken to implementing the APIs of important systemd components so that they translate into native systemd calls
A d too many.
Because systemd now has a replacement for ntpd.
The systemd people are (as far as I can tell) writing replacements for almost all the standard services that run on Linux because they want to take over the World bwahaha!
Bullshit. Why should I pay more for being taller? This isn't a choice, is it? What the airlines are doing is essentially discrimination.
Why should short people subsidise tall people? That's an alternate way of looking at it. If you move all the seats further apart, prices go up and short people are effectively paying for leg room they don't need.
The answer to a security question is just another password that's easy to guess.
How do you propose getting an ssh connection to fix the issue with the CLI equivalent?
The X server runs on your client PC.
That's how X works.
No it doesn't. You need the X client libraries installed, but no X server needs to run on the server.
Heartbleed could expose server side private keys to the attacker. I seriously doubt that any IE bug could possibly be that bad.
Let me guess: You have a large collection of "nerdy" t-shirts? Most of those are about as funny, insightful, and entertaining as XKCD. You know this already, as I'm sure when you're shopping on whatever website sells that stuff you like some and reject others. The difference between those and XKCD, of course, is that the t-shirt shop doesn't come with a personality for you to worship.
That's pretty insulting.
The "sudo make me a sandwich" one? Just not funny. I "get" the "joke", it's just not even a little bit funny. It's "Ha, ha! That's a thing that I know about! Familiarity for the win!"
The "Bobby Tables" strip also isn't funny. For the same reasons.
Wrong on both counts.
Anyone remember that guy who was moving Stonehenge size concrete blocks around his back yard and erecting them in place, single-handedly? To stand them upright he would fill the pit with loose sand and slope one side of the pit, then he kept dumping water in. The mud was soft enough to be compressed and ejected from the pit as the stone slowly sank into place.
If you counter-balance the blocks you can move them fairly easily with just a few people. Or put them on a sled and use logs to roll them. Or flood the basin using Nile flood water and float them into place.
It doesn't take super-geniuses or fancy technology, it just takes dedication and some manpower.
These dumb "How did the Egyptians do it?!?!?!" stories are highly annoying. They did it first and foremost by deciding they were going to do it, trying and failing several times, then perfecting their techniques. Same damn way we got to the moon. The hardest part is step 1.
I hear we've already tried nuking Manure's home ground but nobody could tell the difference.
It's a bit presumptuous of him to be setting out policy for the first government of independent Scotland. Is it not going to be a democracy?
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
