So to answer how systemd KNOWS that apache actually has started and is serving pages you enter into a page long rant about how init will get SIGCHILD when a process dies.

You are not a very clever man.

Cubasis with a number of software synthesizers and some filters on recorded tracks is heavy number crunching, and something the tablet format is excellent for. More computing power means more filters and synthesizers, meaning less limitations on what can be done right away.

Many synthesizers and trackers can be used for realtime performances, and there the limiting factor is raw CPU power. This move is excellent news for those using iPads to perform.

And how many of those binaries can you replace with previously existing alternatives to do the same thing? Can you unplug journald and instead run a previous logging daemon? Remove 20-30 of those binaries and instead use the older solutions for the same problems?

Unless you can, it's monolithic.

Mainly because it was touted as an intuitive interface, but it wasn't. It made use of non-obvious gestures and key presses to do everyday tasks. This made it a power user interface, excellent for people who love spending time in the OS instead of in their applications.

Unfortunately that is hardly any people at all. And therefore hardly any people at all liked it.

You can lock the flash memory as much as you like. The PRAM on the Phison chip is unaffected.

What is being reprogrammed is the Phison control chip. There is no write enable pin on the Phison chip. It has a pin to control the write lock of the flash memory, but that has no effect on the Phison PRAM where the firmware resides.

You learn the meaning of the columns by the teacher saying "this is the 1s column, this is the 10s column" etc.. The whole thing with boxes is a run-around, not getting to the point but doing something else.

Or are you saying you don't think kids can understand that? They need it dumbed down to grok it? You're selling humanity way short, if so.

That is not more accurate; it is incorrect. The stance of the agnostic is that we CAN NOT know. We also DO NOT know, of course, because we can not.

There is no contradiction. The agnostic believes it is impossible to KNOW, but the agnostic can still BELIEVE.

You are equating belief and knowledge, a common misconception. They are not the same. I can believe I can not know, yet still believe, or I can believe I can not know and not believe. No contradiction.

I am not speaking for the OC, but I have need of software which will not run on the glibc in stable. For example Scrivener, which still has no viable competitor.

Except they are not "copying". The Braun designs are different in shape and size, and only look similar from specific angles or when cutting out parts of a photo.

They're about as similar as any two brands of sports cars. If you search for just the right angle you'll be able to dupe people who do not know better than sports car manufacturers only copy each other, but anyone actually seeing them next to each other would wonder what the heck you're on about. The same goes for Braun's products and Apple products.

Proof is not in the domain of science. You will only find proof in formal systems. Therefore your whole post contains no meaning, and you put nothing at stake even though you clearly feel that you do.

Reality is that which exists whether you believe in it or not. Man is an animal. Life has only the value we place on it. And this life is all you get, then it ends. Belief is a coping mechanism, nothing more.

And in the US most of them hold belief in god, so that is no incentive to not do it either.

Causing pain to others is bad because the response I get is likely to cause me discomfort. And because just doing it causes me discomfort. It's called "empathy" and is fairly common in humans, even if it's not as common as one might want it to be.

Please, provide a few of those "bizarre factors". Your own listing, and not a link to a time cube site, please. It would be interesting to see what it takes to convince you.

The vast difference compared to Prime Music is that if you do not listen to music, Prime Music does not shove songs onto your phone using your data plan.

By default, Apple does. No clicking on the cloud required. If you have not changed a single setting since you bought your phone, it will download the U2 album for you.

Living in a country where the majority of the population are atheists I find your statement rather incredulous. Sure, there is faith around, but it's on a completely different level than in, say, the US or Syria.

I suspect this has a lot to do with an education system which does not focus on teaching trust in authority, but instead tries (even if it isn't working even near perfectly) to induce critical thinking.
