Do you have a better and more reliable tablet system in mind, or are you suggesting that they should have stuck with the 35-pound suitcases full of printed material?

It takes less than 1 mins of googling for rugged laptop/tablet or whatever, and I'm not even qualified to make such as decision.
(e.g. panasonic toughtablet)
something pretty vital to ops should have had more consideration than guessing a popular consumer item will do.
What the fuck are they thinking when replacing critical units?

What fucking idiot modded this informative?

Hello Lennart, meet software deployment 101;
shit follows.

Who keeps modding these posts up? Using "journalctl -f" to view output from stderr to debug why daemons aren't starting is a feature I use often as part of my job.

Don't know about your job, years of running init rarely needed to debug or check why/if/when daemons aren't starting. on production systems. with users. with usb thingies. with eth failover.
Honestly, you fucking seriously mean to say THE FIRST PROCESS STARTED UPON BOOT NEEDS DEBUGGING and claim systemd is an improvement?!?!?

How did you manage a score of two?

I created an account over 10-15 years ago, treated it with utmost care and love, only now and then jesting, but very cautiously and carefully.
With the occasional post, my precious karma went silently up and up, and up and up.
Until today, I felt the longing for OMG frist post, succumbed and finally blew it all on an Nvidia topic.

Perhaps on topic, what useful task would this card capabilities be insufficient for? (useful in the sense with video output)

Even if Brute Logic is a nice guy (tm)

Nah, hooligans (script kiddies evolved) wandering the net, the SPAM in your httpd log.

@r3nop0c @Groupon Of course their 30+ websites will @xssposed next times.

Doesn't even have a D-sub connector!

4k's in, 2k's out. Who would have thought. :P

Spawning programs on public money is not a startup.
Key to success is to level the playfield for commercial activities (all contenders pay more or less identical tax, no monopolies) and spend money on activities that are not commercially viable yet valuable.
In short, you'll end up with effectively bureaucrats hopping from one program to another writing pretty money requests and/or companies squishing creativity.
For some constructive criticism, if anyone knows of a place succesful as mentioned above, please do share.

I'd prefer a working democracy, http://www.latimes.com/world/m....
We need a banking system reform though.

Will we see the return of fascism, will someone come up with something entirely new, or will civilization simply collapse?

Yes (unrestricted corporatism). Yes (Snowden). Yes (Peak oil).

Take care of yourself and note any favors; before 3 there should be something to balance.
If not leave, perhaps a job with lower wage or out as a contractor.

Just have a little sympathy for them. They can't really know sometimes. Neither can you.

The word is fear.
Only a fucking lunatic would sympathize a kid bent on lethal destruction in the classroom.

It's not a waste.
It's just multi-role in the sense the role can change every month.
Which is preferable to a war every month.

You must be a Java programmer. Garbage collection is generally a very bad idea for a systems language, because of the periodic stalls whilst it does the cleanup.

Why not garbage collection methods in the kernel with different strategies?
