But linux distros have grown huge piles of bash cruft around sysvinit too in those years.. I don't think systemd would be more complicated. More like less so. That's the reason for distros wanting to adopt it. It's not possible to something as simple as an if block in a shell script without risking to do something subtly wrong and unportable.

then does it apply to SMF in Solaris and launchd in MacOS too? I don't remember anyone asserting those to be going against unix philosophy based on having a service management facility..

Well, I admit there are some talented people that might end up in US through H1B, but they'll be an exception rather the rule. You wouldn't be one of them for sure. Arrogance is a mark of incompetence.

Beside, best techs from other countries are already in demand at home, no need for them to move. "The best" is not someone US would get from H1B visa program.

There's just no way it could identify particular device. A particular kind of device at most. And even then it wouldn't be very reliable.

Maybe, but there's no need for quotes around word "cause".

Well, if it was a mistake in any case then why does it matter which exact side in conflict did it and from who did it import the weapon?

No, I mean it makes sense for them to initiate those measures. I think they don't because they expect US to veto it.

At most he just supported one group of rebels against other. What they need to do is to organize UN peacekeeper mission there, not wage proxy war with US.

You didn't contradict me. Whatever Putin does is unrelated to conflict between former soviet citizens in Ukraine. He could attempt to take advantage of it but that's it. It's Ukraine's government's job to settle their issue with their citizens peacefully and they failed it. So it need a new government again.

You got that wrong. Putin is merely a populist. Many people on Ukraine got shafted after partition of Soviet Union and they want to go back. All past Ukrainian governments just failed to give them what they want and they got tired of it. It's not Russian government's fault that they failed to find a peaceful arrangement, but it's not surprising it's trying to exploit the situation. It's just taking pointers from US's government.

There's also question of motivation. Why would soldiers waste expensive missiles for some irrelevant passenger plane? Why would be there a plane over a warzone in the first place? That just doesn't make sense. Definitely not terrorism. When you perform a terrorist act you tell that YOU did it in order to intimidate. You don't deny you did it.

It's unique work, not part of a product line. Besides, no consumer will think that the statue is made by DC just because it's Superman, thus no possibility of consumer confusion exist thus trademarks don't come into equation.

Trademarks definitely aren't involved in this case because no product is being marketed.
