Don't the "haters" regard systemd as some all-encompassing Hurd-like wannabe, except whereas Hurd runs on top of a microkernel (mach), systemd bootstraps linux? :-)

A "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons" might otherwise be a good description of systemd...

In this case, I believe, for one or more of them is Afghanistan. i.e. they were child refugees from the post 9/11 conflict whose homeland we bombed to smithereens.

Now grown up, they've become radicalised in Sydney by foreign born clerics.

We don't have the death penalty here.

I just read about the Tim Mclean case. What's even more horrific is that PETA sought to gain publicity for animal rights by running an ad. Eeek!

Just curious, how much a night is a room at the hilton, including your membership?

Those who do not learn Hurd are doomed to reimplement it, poorly. - as systemd ? :-)

Then the issue isn't systemd adoption but creating minimalist logind equivalent?

Elephants, too. Edison, you sadistic bastard!

RIP Topsy.

Give Apple time, they have ARMv8 hardware shipping since late last year.

They'll soon enough release versions of iOS that only run on their A7 or higher.

Never trust anything that can't spit out a Makefile, or equivalent.

Good Riddance!

Chrome is handy for 'legacy' content but for flash's main deployment - videos, for day to day use, the HTML5 player in Firefox on Linux works well enough.

The cynic in me suggests this is a pre-emptive strike against alternative open-source OSes Tizen and Firefox OS.

By utilizing a Chrome-only technology (NaCl), by value-adding, Google kills off Gecko and Webkit competitors running a pure HTML5 platform.

(Also stifling adoption of BB and Sailfish, which both include Android compatibility)

If one sits inside all day watching pirated content instead of getting out in the sunshine and exercising, one is bound to put on a few kilograms!

As long as they keep showing Doctor Who on ABC1 within 24 hours of its UK release, all's well.

It'd be nice if the ABC did a deal with BBC online to mirror some of its geoblocked educational content such as foreign language learning. I'm not interested in streaming TV shows but learning a language for my next trip to Europe would be great.

Ontario, *not* Quebec.

+5 Informative???

We're talking about mobile device SoCs here, where AMD don't even compete.
