"A mentality of "it will be done when it's right" is almost as foolish as "it will be done on Thursday.""

You only say that due to the limited scope of your vision. You think "it" is "the final product"; I never stated or implied any such thing. Each feature. Each bug fix. Each of these is "it". The bug won't be fixed by Thursday, it will be fixed as quickly as possible while still conforming to security standards and following established process. If that is Thursday, awesome! In fact we hope it will be Wednesday, but if it isn't right until Saturday then it won't be done until Saturday; period.

Dude, I know we work with binary quite a bit, but equating a lack of 100% veto power to complete indifference toward quality of code is taking "all or nothing" a bit too far! (Sorry; I couldn't resist the pun)

An AC, very close to first post, and it is actually spot on!

Unless you can get management to sign on to a mentality of "it will be done when it's right" rather than "it will be done on Thursday" you have no hope of achieving FLOSS levels of success. I'm not saying you shouldn't try your best, merely that you should be aware of your limitations and from whence they come up front.

If you weren't already planning on going over the "legal limit" then you really have no business going to bars. Leave the drinking to the big boys, and stay home sipping milk and watching "Saved by the Bell" as usual.

"Don't do it! It is not a responsible or smart way to use the product ... Just use it the right way." From the maker."

Agreed. Don't waste it. The responsible and smart way is to shoot it up. Anything else is just irresponsible waste, and constitutes alcohol abuse (excuse the pun.)

I'm sorry, but that wasn't the deed of one man. Management had a hand in it, even if it was to do nothing when they clearly should have done something about the situation. Just sayin' ...

Sir, that was one of the best posts I have read in a very long time. I have felt the pain of making the transition to systemd, however I also see the overall picture and the wisdom of the approach. In the end I trust the wisdom of the people at the helm and I have no doubt that Linus would have made the news for one of his famous controversial emails if systemd was even half as bad as the anti-systemd asshats try to make it out to be.
Those who complain about it are immediately off base at this point. Don't like Gnome? GREAT! Don't use it! Don't like systemd? Don't complain asshat; use a distribution that suits your twisted needs. If systemd it's really the plague you say it is then Debian, Red Hat, etc will die and your distro will prevail! Then you can laugh at us all! -- Code not reachable error

You don't quite seem to undertsand the concept of Open Source and "free".
Source code for Google Chrome is available free of charge under open source software license agreements at http://code.google.com/chromiu...
Yes, when others build it from source they call it Chromium. Claiming Chrome is nonfree is either an asinine attempt to flame or representative of a pretty poor understanding of the terms you are throwing around.

Google didn't run around to all the servers on the internet gathering all the source code for the versions of Chrome that need this patch. Distributions will simply use the version they have that works and refrain from bumping up the Chrome version until after the linux kernel is at the required revision.

"So how the flying fuck can Chrome run on these other systems that don't offer this functionality?'

Just because a version of Chrome gets released doesn't mean that all distributions will and must begin using the code immediately. Distributions will simply not deliver newer versions of Chrome until the kernel is bumped up to the level required to support said newer version.

True!

Well, sure if you're the type to bask in the limelight flaunting your freewill.

Oh no, no. On the contrary grasshopper. The presence of not logic is as strong an indication of logic as one is likely to find! Dare you still say not? ;-)

You couldn't be more wrong about that. While it is true that said data (that there is none available) shouldn't be weighed very strongly, it is data. In other news, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.
