on behalf of a math student (myself), i will mention that there are literally an infinity of statements that are not "incorrect". some very basic software can enumerate millions of "theorems" within a few hours given appropriate axioms.

this list of facts will not, however, have any point; it will just be a list of correct statements.

simply because something is correct, doesn't mean that it is worth reading. this is the problem people have with you. your slashdot articles are vapid and narcissistic, and you doggedly persist in ignoring (or pretending to ignore) this. that is the point and it's been made ad nauseam.

I think he has... ahem... balls to assert such a contrarian viewpoint on slashdot.

But, yeah, he's a loony reactionary. Just ignore him or laugh at him. "Collaborator" is a bit too generous.

since i like to use sarcasm to drive home a point.

you don't have a point.

as opposed to bitcoin itself.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

whether all trolls are psychopaths is another issue. pop psychology isn't that impressive to me.

i'm not trolling, i honestly don't understand. you seem heavily invested in this issue, and since you've already spent a lot of time on this topic (judging from your posts here), i thought you could explain it to me briefly. i can only conclude that you just don't like systemd, and are upset because something you don't like has become popular. maybe i've already read those articles and simply disagree with them. i just wanted your opinion. disagreement isn't trolling.

"sadism"? really? it's just some asshole on the internet.

what's with you, anyway? i know barely anything about this issue, but can you explain how systemd is being forced onto linux in general? if other apps are building it in as a dependency, maybe that's because it offers useful functionality despite the drawbacks. no one's even made a very clear list of the drawbacks, though i get the general idea of sprawling monolithic monstrosity. but then maybe that's just a side effect of the same development process offering useful functionality.

can you explain how it's being forced onto people?

nah, most slashdot comments are really just versions of what the AC said, especially when they have anything to do with politics, where nerds are especially unclueful.

i thought it was a pretty solid troll. it has nothing to do with systemd in particular. that you thought it did is just more evidence of the troll's success.

I agree; Apple sucks.

The best (and maybe only) competition so far, though, is Ubuntu and its derivatives. Fucking christ, that's depressing.

What is your point? If your hyper-intelligent, single-minded adversary asks to borrow your phone, just don't let him.

If some poor schmo needs to borrow your phone to call the hospital because his friend just had a heart attack, well, just tell him to get fucked, there isn't anyone who's going to trick you out of your slashdot password.

"you probably deserved it. also, it helps me avoid working for easily-offended faggots. later."

You can use one on your smartphone. For android, you can even get an open source one and build it yourself if you want. (i forget the name of the one i used.)

Or just print out the ones you might need and put them in your wallet. (waits for shocked disbelief to pass) Seriously, why not? You're not being hunted by the NSA here; if your wallet gets stolen, it'll be by some street thug, not a master haxx0r. They're going to take your money and maybe your credit cards, then throw out the rest of the crap. If you're really worried, print out the first (N-3) characters of your passwords, and then just memorize the three characters. This way, you get high entropy against skilled attackers (good), and low entropy against street trash (good enough) who won't bother more than a few attempts at most.

It's all about having good enough security for the circumstance at hand, and compromising against convenience for you.

Never before have I seen the use of partial differential equations to justify unequivocal bullshit.

Haven't read many research papers, have you? ;-)

this kind of thing probably does help, but, yeah, not because of the magical linear time bank.

rather, something that keeps the user's attention often means less coffee breaks and chit-chat. waiting sucks.

it all sounds familiar.

i was waiting for "what are your crimes?"

i agree that the NSA's activities are unconstitutional, but what's the point in this context?

and, going on your ridiculous tangent, would you be perfectly fine with what the NSA were doing if the constitution were amended to allow it?
