False analogy. AirBNB should pay the hotel tax, because the playing field should be level. But to rent a room, you just need to pay the tax. You don't need to spend a small fortune for a "hotel license". Taxis, on the other hand, are a racket based on enforced artificial scarcity.

You mean, like the Windows Registry? Nothing ever went wrong with the kitchen-sink approach to design, right?

thanks

Google it. Takes a bit to set up but its great. Smaller then 1 mb.

Your claims that systemD is well engineered are a little eye-raising. We're talking about a replacement for the init system here, and you say the main feature is logind. That's not really part of what I expect Init to do.....

In any case, in a few months, I'll have time to read the systemD source code, and I will have a better idea if it's well designed or not.

- First solution would be to use a Windows thin client. Set it up, write the configuration to flash and then lock it. If it goes BOOM just turn it off and turn it back on and it will be exactly the same as it was. Mail will have to be on the web because nothing will be saved locally.

- Second idea would be to use a terminal server / remote desktop. Give them just enough to log into a system that you maintain at your location. Make sure there are no visible links to a web browser (or anything else) on their local computer.

One thing people should tell their parents/grandparents/non-techie friends, "Anything fun, cool, and/or free on the web is inherently dangerous. If you can't tell how they are making money then you should suspect everything you see."

How long until companies realize they can save 15,000-30,000 on paying their software engineers that telecommute. It is silly to require a programmer to be on site anyway. You gain some extra time out of him each day because he doesn't have to commute, and less distractions mean you get more productivity. If you don't trust your coders to do work, just set up a version control repository and make sure some stuff is done each day.

Goodie, two corrupt banks backed by UK tax payers want to leave an independent Scotland.

Sounds to me like just the kind of thing independence is actually supposed to accomplish.

Unfortunately, they are probably just saber rattling.

Salmond has been saying 18 months, that's his timetable.

That's a tentative timetable for formal independence; it says nothing about a timetable for how economic or other relations change. And even that tentative timetable can be changed and postponed at will.

The fact remains that there is nothing in the vote that either mandates a timetable or necessitates any kind of "messy or painful split", and pretending otherwise is FUD.

Just like power lines, roads, and anything else that is best maintained by enforcing artificial monopolies at some level

I see your error...

Why would England object? England would benefit the most from having Scotland as a fellow EU member.

I can see we will need to fund another MRRD kid.

Seriously, we are not the white people. Even if you do have to insist that the Mative American Indians were all peace loving (which they weren't) or they all were wiped out by the white guy (Which they weren't, an awful lot of them integrated with society and became not savage. This is what happened with most the eastern tribes), you cannot seriously be letting a little kid think this shit happened yesterday and she was part of it so she should feel guilty about it. That's beyond cruel and borders child endangerment. When your kid grows up with mental problems, I hope you look back and think about the guilt you unnecessarily put into her only because you wanted to push an fallacious political opinion. It will be your fault for not correcting your wife and setting the record straight. The shit that happened between the Indians and the white people happened generations before any of us were around or even thought of.

No, it's a religion, it just isn't the religion they think it is or want you to think it is.

I think you both are mistaken, it doesn't matter who you think the one true god is, the statement still holds true and can adequately describe problems within any of those secs.

I would hardly compare the two. In fact, they are not even close if you tried and did so honestly.

I get it, you hate religion and hate religion touching your science. Get over it. If the science is as much as you think it is, it will win if you put the two in a closet and told them to battle it out. So what are you actually afraid of?

Oh, and neither abstinence only and ID discussions in science classes are even close to banning subjects and mental processes altogether. The sky is not falling, stop pretending.
