IMO: POSIX == Good Thing. As well.
Systemd kills POSIX, along with everything else.
I think it's fair to say that this fork is far more significant.
I certainly wish them luck, but I am concerned that they may not be able to get the resources needed to successfully compete against the Redhat/Debian agenda.
> Running from a police officer is not an offense worthy of public execution without trial.
Brown was only shot in the front, not the back - that has been established by the evidence.
Brown was not running away when he was shot.
> Your genius logic is now stating that a cop can shoot a person point blank for any reason
Wrong.
You can shoot a person in self defense. If that person is trying to grab your gun, you damn well better shoot him, or you are as good as dead.
Anybody familiar with Cameron's abysmal record, especially when it comes to countering terrorism, knows that Cameron is desperately trying to shift the blame away from his own incompetence.
Also for a hugely disproportionate amount of computer technology.
US has about 5% of the world's population, but the US has created more than of computer technology.
Easy to sit around and be snotty critics. More difficult to actually do anything.
> The EU seems to have a chip on their shoulders about Google.
Because Microsoft pays better. Just business, nothing personal.
During the OOXML, Microsoft was caught red-handed giving bribes to European officials.
When somebody sticks it to Microsoft, Microsoft often uses the same tactic against it's competitors. Remember Europe saying MS had a monopoly? A few bribes later, and viola, MS competitors have a monopoly.
BTW: I think US politicians are even worse.
1) There are numerous technical reasons against systemd, and not one good reason for it.
2) Admins are way more than users with a special password.
3) It is way more than a few people who oppose systemd.
Honest question. What does Linux offer for servers that BSD does not?
I think it is fair to say that dems, are repubs, are responsible for this.
Trying to imply that Obama is the good guy in the mess is pure bullshit.
Or better yet, offshore the job.
No wonder US born developers are becoming an endangered species. This is spite of the non-stop shortage shouting.
Look at the job ads. Employers are looking for college degrees, and five years of recent, professional, verifiable experience. And employers will settle for nothing less, even as wages stagnate.
Maybe you have mis-identified the "bullies?"
SystemD is to Red Hat what OOXML is to Microsoft. They can claim it's "open" but really it is a vendor lock-in scam.
SystemD is a decision made by a few some execs at a for-profit corporation. It is absolutely not something the community was asking for.
I am sick of this Microsoft-like "the decision has already been made, why are you arguing? SystemD is inevitable, just accept it. Because we say so. So FU take it and shut up."
I am sick of the astroturfing bullshit constantly insinuating that SystemD opponents are just "haters" and a tiny handful of "UNIX grey beards."
SystemD is nothing less than a hostile take over of Linux by Red Hat. The entire scam is right out of Microsoft's playbook.
In other words "our proprietary product is *the* standard"
Red Hat is following Microsoft's playbook to the letter.
Seems like it would solve a lot of problems.
It would give Debian users years of use while the systemd thing got sorted out.
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
