I like it because I wrote it, and I'm more intelligent than Torvalds and Ts'o.

I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but I'm pretty sure there are backdoors in every major open source project : gcc, the linux kernel, ssh, gpg and bash to name a few.
They've been either actively introduced by NSA/FSB/... or found and jealously kept secrets.
It's not like recent history has proven this theory wrong. :-/

You can trace back all those achievements to cheap available energy (mostly fossil fuels).
Remove the fossil fuels and we might not be able "to handle whatever fantasies this guy can dream up".

Based on this, 1 gram of Deuterium produces 320 megawatts of power.

Based on this, it appears you don't know the difference between power and energy.

We need a new "-1 incorrect XKCD quote" mod :)

Exactly. "Where's Waldo?" just got way easier.

Didn't you mean "101 times that age"?

With the added benefit that saying "8.460N,76.963E" is much faster than pronouncing this city name!

Thanks for the explanation.
At least on my systems (LMDE, Ubuntu server and Mac OS X), vim automagically opens archives, lets you browse the structure inside the gz file, lets you read the compressed files and even save the modified files.
If it doesn't, you can add this to your vimrc :

What's wrong about this command?

And what really gets me is, if systemd was just an init system, fine. But at the rate they are going there is going to be a systemd everything.

I hope you're not using Emacs ;)

bcat /var/log/blablabla_log.bin | less
bcat /var/log/blablabla_log.bin | vim -
bcat /var/log/blablabla_log.bin | grep pattern
where bcat is an alias to whatever command you need to open systemd binary logs.
and with the appropriate plugin :
vim /var/log/blablabla_log.bin
just like you can do
vim /var/log/auth.log.2.gz

What's not *nix about it?

Mostly because they have so many coal power plants.
It's easy to integrate wind power when you have so many conventional thermal power plants.

What a surprise! A Slashdot Book Review with 9/10 rating.

You might want to normalize the ratings in your book reviews.

I'm not trying to start a flamewar, just asking a genuine question:
What are the main differences between Debian, Mint & Ubuntu now?
I took some time last month to install and test OpenBSD, Alpine Linux, Mint, Mint LMDE, Ubuntu & Debian.
I just wanted a basic graphical interface + terminal + tabs + vim + zsh + ssh
I was suprised to see that Debian wasn't that much smaller or faster than other Debian based distros.
Ubuntu UI sucked, but I really liked the speed and small footprint of Alpine Linux.
